"Men's penises do not only have erections due to sexual stimulation. In fact, natural erections can occur at night and in the morning, and nighttime erections make many men uncomfortable and absolutely" painful. ". Is this a condition? Do you need treatment? Let's take a look at the authoritative answers given by experts.
Nighttime erections require deep investigation of the root cause
When many men are worried about "not having" a penis erection at night or in the morning, they feel painful about their normal physiological response. Although they are over 50 years old and in good health, there is no problem with frequent nighttime erections. "And the more fully an erection is made, the more obvious the so-called" bloating pain "becomes, which is understandable.". Since various tests have ruled out organic problems (including blood diseases, endocrine problems, etc.), it seems that it can only be a conceptual and psychological problem. As for why a man feels this way, it is difficult to clarify on the phone, and it is possible to have an interview to explore the root cause of his problem in greater depth.

Night time erection is a sexual ability response
Erections are a reflection that can be divided into three ways: psychological erections are a reflection of the excitement of the brain's sexual activity centers, and are susceptible to interference from various psychological factors; Reflective erections are the result of direct stimulation of the penis; Spontaneous nighttime erections can reflect a man's sexual responsiveness, which occurs after a man falls asleep.
Healthy men have nighttime erections
Using strain gauge measurements, it can be observed that a healthy man will experience 4-6 nocturnal erectile reactions every night, each lasting about 30 minutes, with an average total erectile time of 185 minutes. As the night deepens and sleep deepens, the process of erection gradually lengthens, the degree of erection also increases, and the interval between two erections decreases. The most significant increase in penis volume occurs around 5 am when the heart rate is at its slowest. After puberty, the duration, frequency, and intensity of nighttime erections steadily decrease, but the change is not significant until the age of 50.
The older the age, the weaker the erection time and intensity
After the age of 50, the duration and intensity of erections have decreased; After the age of 60, the changes in various parameters become more prominent, and their response patterns are more similar to those of boys before puberty; After the age of 70, the periodicity of nighttime erections remains constant, but the decrease in intensity and duration is more pronounced. The total swelling time is about 90 minutes, and the average number of erections is 2.6.
Therefore, when judging the test results, it is necessary to pay attention to the age characteristics. Generally speaking, there is little variation in nighttime erections in the same age group, and there is little variation in nighttime erections in the same subject. Some people have found that when men have dreams with high anxiety content, nighttime erections disappear or swelling rapidly subsides. Night time erections are often affected by sleep quality, lack of sleep, fatigue, the content of dreams, and other negative and positive factors.
Dreams affect nighttime erections
People who sleep well and those who love dreaming have good nighttime erectile responses, which can be judged by the increase in the number and circumference of erections. Nighttime erections are relatively less likely to be affected by neurosis, negative dreams, or pre sleep sexual satisfaction. Nighttime erections are also influenced by physical factors, and the nighttime erectile response of short and fat men is stronger than that of thin and tall men; Athletes should outperform fat and bloated men. The pattern of nocturnal erections is also influenced by the type of autonomic nerve. For example, among men of the same age, men with a high initial heart rate experience weaker nocturnal erections during 8 hours of sleep than men with a slow heart rate.
"Since the occurrence of nighttime erections does not depend on genital stimulation or the pressure of bladder fullness, nighttime erections cannot be considered reflective erections.". Some doctors often ask patients, "Can I have an erection when I hold urine in the morning?" This is actually not true. A morning erection is actually the last night erection reaction, and it is not a consequence of holding urine, because men never have an erection when they hold urine during the day. In any case, when a man exhibits a sufficiently stiff nocturnal erectile response, it can be confirmed that he has a physiological erectile ability. (Transferred from: Ma Xiaonian/Sina Blog)
