In the system of ‘Hikmat’ (Unani medical method), this disease is called ‘Jaryan’. In this disease, semen or oily fluid is discharged during urination or while passing stool, without the desire to have intercourse. This discharge is called ‘Spermatorrhea’.
There are three types of spermatorrhea mentioned below:
Spermatorrhea / Dhat Syndrome
This occurs when semen or dhatu comes out without any desire. If semen is in excess and the body’s heat increases, then this condition arises. Due to this, semen starts to leak and get discharged. After urination or while passing stool, some amount of semen comes out. If this condition continues for a long time, it leads to physical weakness. This disease often starts with the increase of vata and pitta doshas (as per Ayurveda).
If a person does not take proper treatment, he starts suffering from multiple symptoms like burning sensation while urinating, tingling feeling in the penis, restlessness, weakness in memory, and semen leaks even when a little pressure is applied. In some severe cases, semen leaks even while sitting or walking.- Prostatorrhea
In this type of disease, due to weakness of the prostate gland, a sticky fluid starts to leak from the penis. This usually occurs during defecation or urination. In some patients, the fluid leaks continuously. In this type of spermatorrhea, there is no sexual excitement but the fluid leaks due to a weak prostate. This condition can be cured through timely treatment, but if ignored, it leads to long-term weakness and nerve damage. 3. Urethrorrhoea In this type, the semen-like sticky substance leaks with or after urination. It usually happens when the person is under stress, fear, or due to inflammation in the urinary tract.
Note:
According to modern medical science, it is essential to get proper tests done to determine the type of fluid coming out from the penis. Correct diagnosis is the only way to cure the disease.
Extra Facts for Better Understanding
- The semen discharge in these conditions usually contains sperm cells, while other types (Prostatorrhea and Urethrorrhoea) may not have sperm present.
- If semen discharge continues for a long time, it affects memory and weakens the brain and nerves.
Causes of Spermatorrhea
The main reasons for this disease are as follows:
- Overthinking, excessive use of hot foods, excessive semen in the body, weakness of semen, excessive masturbation, repeated nightfall, excessive sexual thoughts, reading vulgar novels or stories, watching obscene pictures or videos, constipation, excessive acidity, piles, weakness of the digestive system, and urinary tract infections.
- Due to all these reasons, excessive semen is produced which comes out unintentionally.
- Sometimes, infection (bacterial or viral) can also cause this disease.
Symptoms of Spermatorrhea
During defecation or urination, a few drops of semen may leak out, making the person weak.- The person loses focus and alertness.
- He starts worrying all the time and feels mentally exhausted.
- Symptoms like back pain, body weakness, dizziness, depression, and lack of sexual desire may also occur.
- If this disease continues, it can lead to premature ejaculation or loss of erection strength.
- The patient may feel drained out even after minor physical activity and lose all sense of enjoyment during sexual activity or urination.
