Is there a connection between morning erections and the urge to urinate?

Are morning erections due to holding urine? Normal men get an erection in the morning, which is generally called a morning erection. Many people think that morning erections are due to holding urine, so are morning erections really due to holding urine? If morning erections are related to the urge to urinate, then what is the actual connection and what are the causes of morning erections?

1. Morning erections are not caused by holding back urine

After men enter puberty and middle-aged, morning erections are a normal physiological need. Due to individual differences, the changes caused by daily erections are not entirely consistent, that is, the strength, size, and duration of erections are all different. As long as the structure and function of the nerves, blood vessels, and corpus cavernosum are normal, this situation will occur, and it is not caused by holding back urine. Morning erections are caused by the complex influence of the central nervous system and the endocrine system, and mainly act on the blood vessels of the penis. When sexual desire is aroused, information is generated in the human brain and chemical information is sent to the nerves responsible for controlling the blood vessels of the penis, promoting blood flow to the penis. Blood is trapped in the muscles of the penis, which causes the penis to thicken, resulting in erection.

1. Drugs: Anti-tumor drugs, anti-hypertensive drugs, hypoglycemic drugs, acid-suppressing drugs, sedatives and Chinese medicinal materials such as Anemarrhena asphodeloides and Phellodendron chinense can reduce morning erections; while drugs such as Wild Ginseng, Scutellaria baicalensis, and Deer Antler Tablets can increase morning erections.

2. Age Under normal circumstances, age plays a decisive role in morning erections. After estrus, with the increase of age, the frequency of morning erections gradually increases, and the duration also gradually increases. After the age of 30, with the increase of age, morning erections will gradually weaken or decline. However, some elderly people can still have a satisfying married life even though they do not have morning erections.
