Men don't have morning erections? The reason is really unexpected!

Morning erection is a phenomenon unique to the male body. In layman's terms, a man's penis will erect unconsciously in the early morning, even without any external stimulation. Morning erection is one of the criteria for measuring whether a man's sexual function is normal. Why do some men not have morning erections?

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 and longer the morning erections 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 all 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 more 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:

Excessive blood viscosity and pathological changes in the penile venous valves can reduce morning erections. Clinically, 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.
