Why do boys have morning erections?

Morning erection refers to the unconscious erection of the male penis between 4 and 7 in the morning, which is not controlled by the situation, action or thought. Morning erection is an important manifestation or indicator of normal sexual function and strength. The penis of a normal man is usually in a relaxed state except for sexual stimulation and some external stimulation. However, sometimes the reflex action of internal organs can also cause penile erection. The most obvious is that the penis often erects before waking up in the morning, which is medically called morning erection.

Factors that affect men's 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 the morning erections and the longer they last. With the increase of 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 the sleep time is sufficient or not and the quality of sleep will affect the secretion of hormones 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.
