Wang recently busy work, often working overtime, home at night are almost midnight, usually have to accompany the leadership of social drinking. In recent times, Wang felt mentally tired, and in recent days Wang suddenly found that the “penis” morning erection phenomenon disappeared! The first thing I remember is that when I first woke up in the morning, my ding was very hard and erect. Is there something seriously wrong with your body? What is a morning erection? Morning erection refers to the natural erection of the penis in the early morning from 4 to 7 a.m. in a state of unconsciousness, without the control of the situation, action or thought. As we age, the number and duration of morning erections of the penis will gradually decrease. The number of morning erections increases when men are 20-30 years old and gradually decreases after middle age. Morning erection is one of the important signs to evaluate the health and normal sexual function of the body. Why do I have a morning erection? A morning erection is part of a nocturnal erection. Nocturnal erection instills high blood flow to the penis, ensures the replenishment of oxygen and nutrients, and is a self-maintenance of erectile function. Generally, men have 3-5 erections per night for an average of 15 minutes each, but also for up to about an hour. The exact mechanism of early morning penile erection has not yet been studied. At present, there are mainly the following statements: 1. During sleep, there are two different phase states: slow-motion sleep and fast-motion sleep. At the beginning, we first enter slow-wave sleep, and then move into REM sleep. The REM sleep phase is usually referred to as deep sleep. At this time, the eyes move rapidly and irregularly, the muscles are more relaxed, the body temperature and blood pressure rise, and the breathing and heart rate speed up, during this phase, people tend to dream and have an erection. 2, morning erection and androgen levels are related: androgens play a vital role in the male erection process. Androgens are the driving force behind male erections. Androgen levels in men change rhythmically within 24 hours, with the highest in the early morning and the lowest at night, so there is a morning erection phenomenon. 3. The reflex action of the internal organs can also lead to a morning erection. For example, the urine formed at night is stored in the bladder, and the pressure increases in the early morning, causing urination to radiate and press on the nearby accessory gonads, and this stimulation is transmitted by the nerves, producing a stimulus similar to an ejaculatory response, causing a subconscious reflex erection to occur in the penis. This is what we often call an erection after waking up from urination. Do young people have morning erections every day? Because a morning erection is a self-protective mechanism of the body, men with normal erectile function will have a nocturnal erection or morning erection when they experience a deep sleep. If you find that you do not have a morning erection, it is possible that you did not notice it yourself because you are already in a light sleep when you are about to wake up and your morning erection is naturally gone. The methods now used to detect the presence of a spontaneous erection at night are the stamp test and the nocturnal penile bulge test (NPT). You should not drink alcohol or engage in sexual activity on the night of the test. Determining physical condition by morning erection To have a morning erection, not only must there be normal hormone secretion, but also a normal physiological mechanism of blood vessel filling of the penis is required. A morning erection will only occur if the nerves, blood vessels and the structure and function of the penile corpus cavernosum are normal. The morning erection is one of the reference standards of health, and it is produced in the complete absence of psychological influence and the influence of the surrounding environment. The easiest way to distinguish between psychogenic ED (erectile dysfunction) and organic ED is to observe the presence or absence of morning erections. For ED patients, if an erection can be observed early in the morning while sleeping, then it may be psychogenic. Conversely, organic factors are considered and further special tests are needed Current research has concluded that erectile function is a vane of male health status. The erectile function of the male penis is very closely related to cardiovascular function. If there is a loss of morning erection or organic erectile dysfunction (ED), especially in older male patients, it is important to be alert to any physical abnormalities. Is it impotence (ED) when you wake up in the morning without an erection, or it is not obvious? A normal person’s morning erection does not occur every day, and the hardness is often not the same. If you occasionally find that your morning erection is not as hard as it should be, or if it decreases for just a few days, this is usually normal. Morning erections can be affected by many factors, such as age, mood, sleep quality, and fatigue. If a person has poor sleep quality, wakes up easily, is emotionally anxious, nervous, etc., and sleeps in a non-REM sleep phase, he or she will not get an erection. Secondly, the evaluation of erectile capacity mainly lies in terms of the satisfaction of both husband and wife with their sexual life, if the sexual life is harmonious, there is usually no big problem. Nowadays, young people like to live at night due to work pressure, emotional pressure, life pressure, and often stay up late, resulting in poor morning erection. At this time, they should develop good habits, such as quit smoking and drinking, do not stay up late, proper exercise; appropriate, regular sex life, maintain a healthy lifestyle and a happy mood, usually will recover quickly. Summary Xiao Wang consulted his doctor, who told him that the cause was that Xiao Wang had recently been too tired, plus usually smoked and drank more, his body was fatigued and the quality of sleep was poor. He followed the doctor’s advice and quit smoking and drinking, and went to a nearby park to run and exercise on weekends. The morning erection is only one of the reference indicators to assess the sexual function of men, and cannot be the only gold standard. When you find that your morning erection has disappeared, it may be a sign that you have not been resting well recently or that some disease is on its way, so you should pay attention to it. If you find that you have no morning erection for a long time, do not be overly nervous, do not diagnose and use medication on your own, you should go to a regular hospital and let the doctor help you analyze and solve the problem.
