How to control erection after surgery

Some people cannot have an erection at this time because they have just undergone genital surgery. Erection can easily cause the wound to tear and may even affect the recovery process. If you want to avoid erection after surgery, you must understand the factors that cause erection. As long as you avoid these factors, you can successfully get through the recovery period of the surgery.

Therefore, a complete conditioned reflex pathway (reflex arc) is needed to realize it, that is, it consists of five parts: receptor, afferent nerve, nerve hub, efferent nerve, and effector.

1. The receptors can be external genitalia (bladder and testicles), nipples and other sensitive parts, or they can be excitement such as smell, hearing, vision, thinking, and imagination.

Depending on the different receptors, penile erection is divided into reflex erection (the former) and psychological erection (the latter).

2. Through the afferent nerves to the nerve center, the locations of the nerve centers of the two types are also different. The reflex erection is in the low-level erection center of the sacral cord in the spinal cord, while the psychological erection is in the thoracic and lumbar erection center of the spinal cord.

4. The released sex hormone acts on the corpus cavernosum, causing the arteries in the area to dilate, and a large amount of blood flows into the corpus cavernosum of the penis; when the venous vessels contract and the blood flowing out of the corpus cavernosum decreases, the blood is fully retained in the rich blood vessels in the corpus cavernosum, causing the penis to become straight and hard due to congestion, and become erect.
