Why do boys get an erection when they wake up? Why do boys get an erection when they sleep?

It is very common for boys to have an erection every morning, but why do boys have an erection when they wake up? Why do men have an erection when they sleep? This is a normal physiological phenomenon. To a large extent, morning erections also reflect whether the male's sexual function is normal. In addition to morning erections, men also have this situation after falling asleep at night. So, there is no need to feel embarrassed about this.

Morning erection is very important for men. Many men will inadvertently find that their penis is hardened by urine when they just wake up in the morning: sometimes the erection is obvious and relatively hard, and men who know this situation can't help but secretly rejoice, thinking that this is a manifestation of strong sexual ability; if one day they find that the morning erection has disappeared, they will worry, thinking that this indicates that they are not good enough. In fact, not only in the early morning, there will be unconscious erections, but also in the process of deep sleep. This kind of penile erection usually occurs during the intermittent rapid eye movement period, that is, the dreaming stage. At this time, the penile erection is usually not disturbed by psychological factors, and can more realistically show the sexual function of men.

Clinically, this erection hardness provides an extremely important indicator for the study and treatment of sexual function. Generally speaking, men have three to five erections every night, and each erection lasts an average of 15 minutes, but some can last up to an hour. As long as the structure and function of the nerves, blood vessels and corpus cavernosum of the penis are normal, there will be an erection. When diagnosing whether a man has organic ED in clinical practice, a professional hardness meter is also used to check the nocturnal erection. The instrument is about the size of a palm and can be fixed on the thigh. There are two leather rings on the head and base of the penis. It can record the number of penis erections in one night and the duration and hardness of each erection. This examination is very important for the differential diagnosis of physiological and psychological ED. After undergoing this examination, some ED patients will find that they do not actually have erectile dysfunction, and the ED problem will be cured without treatment.

At present, a German doctor has proposed that men's morning erections disappear during illness; when they recover, they reappear. However, it is not objective to observe the morning erection by yourself, and men should not diagnose themselves as having ED based on this alone. Sometimes excessive fatigue or other physical problems may also lead to abnormal nocturnal erections. If you worry about this unnecessarily, you will fall into a vicious cycle of "the more you worry, the worse it gets, and the worse it gets, the more you worry", and you may even develop ED.
