Why is my penis hard when I sleep at night?

In daily life, many men have encountered such a problem, that is, the male reproductive organ will also get erect when sleeping at night. The erection of the penis at night is a subconscious erection of the penis, that is, the male himself is not aware of the erection of the penis during sleep. In fact, this situation is not a symptom, but only a sign of male health. For boys in adolescence, the number of erections at night may even be around 20 times. As men continue to age, the number of erections at night will continue to decrease until it disappears.

The penis of a healthy man will erect once every thirty minutes when he sleeps at night. If he sleeps eight hours a day, his penis will erect at least 16 times at night. A healthy man with normal sexual function will have his penis erected every night, but the number of erections varies from person to person. A boy in puberty or a strong man will have at least six erections every night, and each erection lasts about 20 minutes.

However, as age continues to increase and physical fitness continues to decline, the number of erections of the male penis every night will gradually decrease. Young male friends will have an erection about 1-1.5 hours when they fall asleep. The number of erections at night will drop sharply after middle-aged and elderly people, and it is very easy to wake up in the middle of the night. The erection of a man's penis during sleep is actually not an expression of increased sexual desire or the desire to have sex. But here we need to remind everyone that if the erection of the male penis is very long every night, and it is accompanied by a very painful feeling, it is an abnormal erection of the male penis.

In general, I hope that many men can truly understand the relevant content of erection of the penis during sleep. If your body is relatively healthy and your penis is erect periodically every night, you should not regard it as a symptom at this time. You can feel that it is a sign of good health. But if the male reproductive organ is erect for more than two hours every night, and there is soreness and pain during the erection. At this time, you should go to a reliable hospital for an outpatient examination immediately, because this is very likely related to abnormal erection of the male reproductive organ.
