Expert: A man’s sexual health can be seen from his morning erection!

Sexual health is very important to everyone, but not everything can go as planned. So, how can men know if they are sexually healthy? Let's look at sexual health from the perspective of men's morning erections!

Can morning erection become a criterion for men to judge their sexual ability?

Morning erections refer to the spontaneous erection of the penis between 4 and 7 a.m. in a male's unconscious state, without being controlled by the situation, action, or thought. The mechanism of morning erections is still unclear. Morning erections usually start during adolescence, with the highest number of erections between the ages of 20 and 30, and gradually decrease after middle age.

It is worth noting that due to the different daily conditions of the male body, morning erections are not always the same. The presence or absence of morning erections alone cannot determine the quality of a man's sexual function. However, morning erections are still very important for men as one of the reference standards for health. The following are some factors that affect morning erections.

Age of men experiencing morning erections

Under normal circumstances, age is a determining factor for morning erections. After sexual maturity, with age, morning erections gradually become more frequent and last longer. After the age of 30, with age, morning erections will gradually weaken or decline. However, some elderly people can still have a satisfactory sex life even without morning erections.

Men's morning erection and sleep

Whether the sleep time is sufficient or not, and the quality of sleep will affect the secretion of male hormones to varying degrees, thereby affecting morning erections.

Emotions of male morning erections

Excessive grief, depression, etc. can significantly reduce morning erections.

Men's morning erection and fatigue

Excessive fatigue and mental exhaustion can also affect morning erections.

Diseases causing morning erections in men

Many diseases can affect sexual function and morning erection, such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, lumbar disc herniation, etc.

Medications for men's morning erections

Anti-tumor drugs, anti-hypertensive drugs, hypoglycemic drugs, antacids, sedatives and Chinese medicines such as Anemarrhena asphodeloides and Phellodendron chinense can all reduce morning erections; while drugs such as ginseng, astragalus, and deer antler can increase morning erections.

Bad living habits of men with morning erections

Excessive smoking, drinking, irregular work and rest schedules, etc. can also affect morning erections.

If morning erections subside, it may be a sign of physical aging, or it may be a sign of poor rest recently, or it may be a sign of the onset of certain diseases. Do not take medication at random at this time, and do not be overly nervous. If you find that morning erections are not obvious, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.
