How many times a week do middle-aged people have morning erections?

Morning erections are a physiological reaction of men. They are an important manifestation or indicator of the normal and strong sexual function of men. Normally, teenagers have morning erections almost every day. The transmission mainly occurs in the early morning. Because the yang energy is the strongest during this period, and the work in the body is relatively vigorous, it is most likely to cause morning erections. For people under middle age, morning erections every day are normal, but for middle-aged people, how many times a week is normal?

Definition

It is normal for men from puberty to middle age not to have morning erections within two to three days after sexual intercourse for young men and within one week after sexual intercourse for middle-aged men. If this phenomenon lasts longer than or for a period of time, you should go to the hospital for a check-up.

There are also cases of erections caused by urgency in the morning.

principle

If the bladder of a man is full of urine before he wakes up in the morning, he will often have morning erections. This spontaneous physiological phenomenon is not subject to human will. With the increase of age, the frequency and duration of penis erections will gradually decrease, which generally has no effect on the body. There is no such thing as nocturnal erections. If the penis is erect but not hard, it is not considered that the erection has disappeared, but a manifestation of impotence. The normal amount of semen ejaculated by an adult man each time is 2-6 ml. If the amount of semen ejaculated each time is less than 2 ml, it means that there is too little semen. Too little semen may be caused by too frequent sexual intercourse and insufficient production and storage of semen. Therefore, sexual intercourse should be prohibited 5-7 days before the semen test, and there should be no spermatorrhea. At this time, a semen test will be more accurate. When the amount of semen is too small, it cannot maintain sufficient nutrition for sperm, affecting metabolism and sperm activity, which can lead to infertility. Infertility caused by mental stress or excessive sexual intercourse, insufficient production or storage of semen can be solved by adjusting the frequency of sexual intercourse, appropriately extending the interval time (1-2 times a week), eliminating stress factors, and improving work and living environment. If the amount of semen is small due to insufficient semen production caused by systemic chronic diseases, malnutrition, seminal vesiculitis, prostatitis and other diseases, the health of the body should be improved, and corresponding treatment should be actively carried out according to different causes.

However, morning erections are not a "measurement" of sexual function.

The reporter learned at an academic seminar on men's health that the exact mechanism of morning penile erection has not yet been studied clearly. In any case, morning penile erection is a normal physiological reaction of men, and with the daily differences of men's bodies, the changes caused by morning erection are not consistent. You must not judge the quality of men's sexual function based on this point alone.

Some male patients, once the morning erection stops, suspect that they have erectile dysfunction (ED) and become worried. But the problem is that the more these men worry about ED, the less morning erections they will have. This is a terrible vicious cycle, because psychological anxiety will lead to physical imperfections; and physical problems will induce further psychological anxiety, and the situation will get worse and worse.

Men have more morning erections when they are 20 to 30 years old, but they gradually decrease after middle age. A German doctor studied this physiological phenomenon and found that men's morning penile erections disappear when they are sick, but they reappear when they recover. He therefore proposed that the morning penile erection phenomenon can be used as one of the reference indicators for observing men's energy and health status.

In addition, ED is divided into psychological and organic types. Patients with organic ED will not have morning erections, while patients with psychological ED are closely related to mental factors, such as fear, depression, anxiety, mental trauma, guilt, and marital discord, but there is no organic damage to the reproductive organs, so they may still have morning erections.

Dietary advice for maintaining morning erections: Eat some yam and buckwheat noodles for dinner. Yam can strengthen the spleen and stomach and cure kidney deficiency, and is a sperm-enhancing food.

Measuring morning erections

Experts say: In fact, the China Population Education and Publicity Center is planning to promote an ED morning erection self-test strip. Before going to sleep, men only need to put the self-test strip on their sexual organs like a ring. If morning erections occur, the self-test strip will partially break. If the self-test strip is found to be not broken in the morning, it is necessary to consider whether ED has occurred, closely observe, and go to the hospital for further testing in time. However, experts also emphasize that morning erections are only one of the reference indicators for detecting whether you have ED, and cannot be used as the only standard. If you find discomfort during sexual life, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

1. Age factor: Under normal circumstances, age is a determining factor for morning erections. From the beginning of sexual maturity, the younger the age, the more frequent the morning erections and the longer they last. With age, morning erections gradually weaken or decline.

2. Disease factors: Many diseases can affect sexual function and morning erection, such as high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, leukemia, tuberculosis, malignant tumors, diabetes, lumbar disc herniation, spinal cord injury, sexually transmitted diseases, etc.

3. Drug factors: Anti-tumor drugs, anti-hypertensive drugs, anti-diabetic drugs, antacids, sedatives and Chinese medicines such as Anemarrhena asphodeloides, Phellodendron chinense, and Licorice can reduce morning erections; while drugs such as ginseng, astragalus, pilose antler, deer penis, fur seal kidney, epimedium, wolfberry, Morinda officinalis, and Radix Atractylodes macrocephala can make morning erections obvious.

4. Sleep: Whether you get enough sleep and the quality of your sleep will affect hormone secretion to varying degrees, thereby affecting morning erections to varying degrees.

5. Mental factors: severe mental trauma, excessive grief, depression, etc. can significantly reduce morning erections. Most of these patients show slow or no erection during the day.

6. Cardiovascular factors: High blood viscosity, penile venous valve and other diseases will reduce morning erections. If the patient shows that the penis cannot be filled, it is mostly due to arterial reasons. If the erection lasts for a short time, it is mostly the result of venous reasons.

7. Fatigue: Excessive fatigue and physical exhaustion can also affect morning erections.

8. Food factors: Donkey meat, fish, rooster meat, leeks, watermelon and other foods can significantly improve morning erections.

9. Bad living habits: such as excessive smoking, drinking, irregular work and rest time, too little sleep at night, etc., can also affect morning erections.

10. Other factors: such as endocrine factors, hypopituitarism, environmental pollution, etc., can also reduce or even eliminate morning erections.

11. Weighted squats are positively correlated with the frequency and duration of morning erections.
