Why do men get hard? Why do men get hard?

With the improvement of women's status, many women have their own jobs like men and get up early every morning to go to work. Some women will be pestered by men when they get up in the morning because their husbands are hard in the morning. Why do men get hard in the morning? This phenomenon is called morning erection. Generally, men with morning erection have better physical fitness.

1. Why do men get hard in the morning?

The penis is one of the main parts of the male external genitalia and is also the sexual organ of both sexes. When a man stands, the relaxed penis hangs down. There is a thin cavernous artery in the cavernous body of the man's penis. When it is engorged with blood and perfuses blood into the cavernous body, an erection will occur. When touched or stimulated in a certain way, such a physiological reaction will also occur.

Through masturbation or sexual stimulation, a man's penis will form a complete neural reflex arc through the primary erection center. Blood enters the blood vessels of the penis, causing the corpus cavernosum of the penis to compress the venous blood vessels, preventing blood from flowing back, thereby causing the penis to become erect and last for a considerable period of time, thus completing sexual intercourse.

Clinically, men's penises also have abnormal erections. Abnormal erections of the penis refer to a state of sustained erection of the penis that is unrelated to sexual desire. A sustained erection of the penis for more than 6 hours is considered an abnormal erection. Traditionally, abnormal penile erections are divided into primary (specific) and secondary. According to hemodynamics, they are divided into low blood flow type (ischemic) and high blood flow type (non-ischemic). The former is due to venous obstruction (venous obstruction), and the latter is due to abnormal arterial blood injection (arterial). Abnormal penile erections are also divided into acute, intermittent (recurrent or intermittent, such as sickle cell anemia) and chronic (usually high blood flow type). In the early stages of abnormal penile erection, it is physiological penile erection, which later develops into high blood flow type.

2. What factors affect men's morning erections?

1. Age

Under normal circumstances, age is a determining factor for morning erections. After sexual maturity, with age, morning erections gradually become more frequent and last longer. After the age of 30, with age, morning erections will gradually weaken or decline. However, some elderly people can still have a satisfactory sex life even without morning erections.

2. Drugs

Anti-tumor drugs, anti-hypertensive drugs, hypoglycemic drugs, antacids, sedatives and Chinese medicines such as Anemarrhena asphodeloides and Phellodendron chinense can all reduce morning erections; while drugs such as ginseng, astragalus, and deer antler can increase morning erections.

3. Sleep

Whether the sleep time is sufficient or not, and the quality of sleep will affect the secretion of male hormones to varying degrees, thereby affecting morning erections.

4. Bad living habits

Excessive smoking, drinking, irregular work and rest schedules, etc. can also affect morning erections.
