What is the reason for an erection during nap?

In our daily family life, sex life is a very important aspect. Sometimes whether the sex life is harmonious will directly affect the happiness index of our family. A good sex life can also promote the relationship between husband and wife. Therefore, the normal erection of male friends' penis is a very critical issue. However, in daily life, if the number of erections is too many, it will also make many male friends feel very painful. So today we are going to solve a problem for you, that is, what is the matter with erection after a nap?

Penile erection is a basic physiological function of human beings, just like breathing and blinking. This function can be performed consciously under the control of the cerebral cortex or spontaneously. Every adult male's penis will erect "for no reason". Some people have observed that this spontaneous erection occurs at least 5 to 6 times a day and night, and as many as more than ten times; each time can last from a few minutes to more than an hour, even when sleeping. This is a normal physiological phenomenon, not a disease.

However, there is another type of abnormal penile erection, which is a pathological condition. Simply put, the penis maintains an erection for a long time after erection, and still cannot return to normal after the relevant stimulation is removed. There are many reasons that can cause abnormal penile erection, including blood system diseases, such as sickle-shaped pelvic blood, leukemia, and thrombocytopenia; neurological diseases, such as spinal cord injury or inflammation; mechanical lesions, such as perineal trauma and compression of advanced pelvic tumors; drug-related reasons, such as taking antihypertensive drugs such as guanethidine and reserpine, or overdose of drugs such as poppyseed injected into the corpus cavernosum of the penis when treating impotence, etc.

Patients with abnormal penile erection have persistent penis enlargement and pain, some with severe pain, and a hard, bluish-gray penis. This disease is a urological emergency and requires emergency treatment in a hospital as soon as possible.

The above introduces two situations of penile erection. Therefore, in the future, when we encounter this problem, we cannot treat it in a general way. We should make correct judgments based on our actual situation and carry out timely and effective treatment. Erection is very important for men's health. Once a problem occurs, it will not only greatly harm men's health, but more seriously, it will seriously damage men's self-esteem. Therefore, we must be cautious when dealing with this problem in life.
