I don't have an erection when I wake up in the morning

Whether a man has an erection is closely related to his sexual function. Many people attach great importance to morning erections, but morning erections occur when the male hormones reach their maximum and the bladder is full due to the accumulation of urine. The number of morning erections will gradually decrease with age. Some people panic when they find that they no longer have an erection in the morning. Is this a disease?

Men have spontaneous penis erections after falling asleep and also in the morning when they wake up. The number of erections varies greatly depending on age, physical condition, and sexual function. Generally speaking, young men have 7-8 erections per night. Healthy and normal elderly people have about 2-3 erections per night.

Netizen's inquiry: My penis used to be erect when I woke up every morning, but why hasn't it been erect in the past few days? What's going on? Is it caused by excessive or irregular masturbation? Normal erections in the morning are called morning erections. If you don't have an erection for a long time, it may be erectile dysfunction, but it's not entirely true, because the lack of morning erections is related to many factors.

If sexual function declines or becomes impaired, the number of nocturnal erections will decrease or even disappear. Nocturnal erections are an important objective indicator for diagnosing pathological impotence. If a patient still has nocturnal erections when waking up in the morning and his penis does not erect, then he only has functional impotence; if he does not have nocturnal erections, then he can be correctly diagnosed with pathological impotence. The inability to have morning erections may be due to mental reasons. Severe mental trauma, excessive grief, depression, etc. can significantly reduce morning erections.

It may also be caused by your fatigue. Whether you get enough sleep and the quality of your sleep will also affect the secretion of hormones to varying degrees, thereby affecting morning erections. It is not terrible to be ill, but it is terrible to not get treatment in time, which will make the condition worse and more difficult to control. Therefore, if you unfortunately suffer from this disease, you must get treatment in time to get better quickly.

The penis of a normal man is usually in a flaccid state except for sexual stimulation or some external stimulation. However, sometimes the reflex action of internal organs can also cause the penis to erect.

The most obvious is that the penis often becomes erect before waking up in the morning, which increases the pressure in the bladder and produces stimulation, which can lead to a subconscious reflex erection of the penis, which is often said to be "hardened" by urine. This is a normal physiological phenomenon, medically known as morning erection. However, the intensity of this erection phenomenon is either large or small, and never reaches the level unique to sexual intercourse.

According to a research report by an American scholar, men have more morning erections when they are 20 to 30 years old, and gradually decrease after middle age. A German doctor also studied this physiological phenomenon. He found that men's morning penile erections disappear during illness, and when they recover, the morning penile erections reappear. So he proposed that the morning penile erection phenomenon can be used as one of the reference indicators for observing men's energy and health status.
