Is it impotence that men do not have a morning erection? Six factors that lead to men not having a morning erection
Do you know the reason that most easily affects men's morning erection? Morning erection refers to the natural erection of the penis in an unconscious state at 4-7 o'clock in the morning, which is not controlled by the situation, action and thinking. So what are the causes of male morning erection? The following is a small series of answers for you.
Due to the different state of the male body every day, the morning erection is not the same. Whether there is morning erection or not can not judge the quality of the male sexual function. However, not having a morning erection may be a symptom of disease. There are six reasons that affect morning erection.
If you don't have a morning erection, is there any disease in your body? Some experts pointed out that the morning erection, as one of the reference standards of health, is still very important for men. Many diseases can affect sexual function and morning erection. Such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, lumbar disc herniation, etc.
In short, if the morning erectile dysfunction, it may also be a sign of physical aging, or it may be a bad rest recently, or it may be a sign of some diseases before they come. The six main reasons most likely to affect morning erection:
Cause 1: Age
Under normal circumstances, age is the decisive factor for morning erection. After sexual maturity, with the growth of age, the number and duration of morning erections gradually increase. After 30 years old, with the growth of age, the morning erection will gradually weaken or decline. However, although some elderly people do not have a morning erection, they can still have a satisfactory sexual life.
Cause 2: Drugs
Anti-tumor drugs, antihypertensive drugs, hypoglycemic drugs, anti-acid drugs, sedative drugs and Chinese medicine such as Anemarrhena asphodeloides and Phellodendron amurense can reduce morning erection; While ginseng, astragalus, antler and other drugs can increase morning erection.
Cause 3: Sleep
The adequacy of sleep time and the quality of sleep will affect the secretion of male hormones in varying degrees, thus affecting the morning erection.
Cause 4: Bad living habits
Excessive smoking, drinking, irregular work and rest time can also affect morning erection.
Cause 5: Emotion
Excessive grief and anger, depression, etc. can significantly reduce morning erection.
Cause 6: Fatigue
Excessive fatigue and mental fatigue will also affect the morning erection.
Chenbo is not a "measure" of sexual function
The reporter learned from an academic seminar on male health a few days ago that the exact mechanism of penile erection in the morning has not been clearly studied. In any case, penile erection in the morning is a normal physiological reaction of men, and with the daily differences of men's bodies, the changes caused by the morning erection are also different. It is not allowed to judge the quality of men's sexual function by this alone.
Some male patients suspect that they have erectile dysfunction (ED) once the erectile phenomenon is suspended in the morning, so they are worried. But the problem is that the more worried these men are about having ED, the less likely they will have morning erections. This is a terrible vicious circle, because psychological anxiety will lead to physical unsound; And the physical problems also induce further psychological anxiety, so the situation will get worse and worse.
Professor Zhu Jichuan, director of the Reproductive Medicine Center of the People's Hospital of Peking University, pointed out that when men were 20 to 30 years old, the number of erections increased in the morning, and gradually decreased after middle age. A German doctor studied this physiological phenomenon. He found that the penile erection in the morning would disappear during the disease. When the body recovered, the penile erection in the morning would reappear. So he proposed that the phenomenon of penile erection in the morning could be one of the reference indicators for observing the energy and health status of men.
In addition, ED is divided into psychological and organic. Organic ED patients will not have morning erections, while psychological ED patients are closely related to mental factors, such as fear, depression, anxiety, mental trauma, guilt, marital discord, etc., from the perspective of etiology, and there is no organic damage to the genitals, so they may also have morning erections.
It is reported that the China Population Education and Publicity Center is currently planning to promote a kind of ED morning erection self-test strip. Before men fall asleep, they only need to put the self-test strip on their sexual organs like a ring. If there is morning erection, the self-test strip will be partially broken; If it is found that the self-test strip is not broken in the morning, it is necessary to consider whether it has encountered ED, closely observe and go to the hospital for further detection in time.
However, experts also stressed that the morning erection is only one of the reference indicators to detect the presence of ED, and cannot be used as the only standard. If you find any discomfort in your sexual life, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.
