What to do if the penis always gets erect at night

Everyone knows that men have premature erections in the morning, which is a very normal phenomenon. But in fact, premature erections in men do not only occur in the morning, but the penis starts to erect at night and lasts until the morning. This is a very normal physiological phenomenon, so men should not feel embarrassed and should face it formally. So what should you do if your penis always erects at night?

The internal organs are controlled by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, and the sexual organs are no exception. Penile erection is controlled by the sacral parasympathetic nerves. When the parasympathetic nerves are excited, the penis will be erect. Both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves have a certain tension (i.e., weak and continuous excitement), and they oppose each other like seesaws. When the sympathetic nerves are excited, the parasympathetic nerves are relatively inhibited; conversely, when the parasympathetic nerves are excited, the sympathetic nerves are relatively inhibited. During the day, the sympathetic nerves are relatively dominant under various stimuli from the environment; at night when you are quiet and sleeping, especially during parasympathetic sleep, the parasympathetic nerves are dominant, and there will be erections in men's penises and congestion in women's vulvas. There are two popular sayings: "Men get up with bamboo poles at midnight, and women get up with lotus flowers at midnight." This shows that our ancestors had already observed this physiological phenomenon. Therefore, if the penis becomes erect after falling asleep at night, it is not pathological and does not require treatment.

Penile erection during sleep is a normal physiological reaction and is not pathological. According to data, adolescent males can have erections about six times a night, each lasting 20-30 minutes. Young men have erections every night for an average of 60-90 minutes. The number of erections decreases after middle age, but healthy elderly people over 65 years old still have several erections every night. Male doctors use whether the penis can erect at night as one of the conditions for diagnosing sexual function. Therefore, this situation does not require treatment.

If the condition persists, you need to combine clinical diagnosis to identify the cause and take comprehensive measures to treat the specific situation to restore your health. At the same time, you need to pay attention to self-adjustment of your mentality, pay attention to a reasonable nutritious diet and regular living habits, and pay attention to strengthening your physical fitness to restore your health.
