Does semen loss cause weakness?

Addressing a belief that causes a lot of unnecessary worry in India.

Moderate evidence · Review status: NOT_REVIEWED

Many men in South Asia worry that losing semen (sometimes called 'dhaat') causes weakness. Semen is produced continuously by the body, and there is no good evidence that ejaculation or night emission causes lasting weakness.

If you feel persistently tired or worried, a doctor can check for other causes.
