In addition to erecting under sexual stimulation and some external stimulation, the penis of a normal man is usually in a relaxed state. But sometimes the reflex function of internal organs can also cause penis erection. The most obvious is that penis erection often occurs before waking up in the morning, which is called early morning erection in medicine.
The exact mechanism of penile erection in the morning has not been clearly studied. However, in any case, early morning penile erection is a normal physiological reaction of men, and with the daily differences of men's bodies, the changes caused by early morning erection are also not consistent, so it is not allowed to judge the quality of men's sexual function by this alone.
Some male patients suspect that they have erectile dysfunction (ED) once the erectile phenomenon is suspended in the morning, so they are worried. But the problem is that the more worried these men are about having ED, the less likely they will have morning erections. This is a terrible vicious circle, because psychological anxiety will lead to physical unsound; And the physical problems also induce further psychological anxiety, so the situation will get worse and worse.
When a man is 20 to 30 years old, the number of erections increases in the morning, and gradually decreases after middle age. A German doctor studied this physiological phenomenon. He found that the penile erection in the morning would disappear during the disease. When the body recovered, the penile erection in the morning would reappear. So he proposed that the phenomenon of penile erection in the morning could be one of the reference indicators for observing the energy and health status of men.
In addition, ED is divided into psychological and organic. Organic ED patients will not have morning erections, while psychological ED patients are closely related to mental factors, such as fear, depression, anxiety, mental trauma, guilt, marital discord, etc., from the perspective of etiology, and there is no organic damage to the genitals, so they may also have morning erections.
It is reported that the China Population Education and Publicity Center is currently planning to promote a kind of ED morning erection self-test strip. Before men fall asleep, they only need to put the self-test strip on their sexual organs like a ring. If there is morning erection, the self-test strip will be partially broken; If it is found that the self-test strip is not broken in the morning, it is necessary to consider whether it has encountered ED, closely observe and go to the hospital for further detection in time.
