What causes pain in left kidney after nocturnal emission?
Patient: Hello doctor,I've been having nocturnal emissions once every two or three months for the last year. I'm 23 years old. Today I woke up after I had one and I feel a very very slight pain in my left kidney. Also I want to mention I just had a nocturnal emission earlier this same week. Should I masturbate or often or less? I do it once a week.Appreciate your help.Thanks in advance,Joe Doctor: Hello,  I don't think so if it is related to nocturnal emissions. It might be due to some other reasons like stones or renal tract infections.   Nocturnal emissions are normal and masturbation is likely going to lessen the frequency of nocturnal emission.   I suggest you to visit your doctor to run some tests like urine routine examination and culture studies along with ultrasound renal tract.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr SAMEEN BIN NAEEM, General & Family Physician
