Experts from Shenyang 463 Hospital stated that penile erection is an instinct in humans, sometimes not determined by human will, but caused by a series of reflex activities. Under normal circumstances, when a man experiences sexual excitement, his penis will become erect; After the sexual impulse subsides, the penis returns to a weak state. Under physiological conditions, from a child or two years old to the elderly, penile erection can occur. Teenagers are in the period of adolescent development, and the phenomenon of penile erection is more frequent. As we have already known, the reason why the penis undergoes erection and weakness is related to its anatomical structure and physiological function.
After teenagers enter the stage of puberty and development, due to the awakening of sexual consciousness and the emergence of sexual psychology, they will generate certain sexual impulses and desires. If you are exposed to some sexual stimuli in life, such as admiration for the opposite sex, watching descriptions of love scenes in movies, movies, or books, having erotic dreams about sex during sleep, and the friction of tight pants on the genitals, all of which can trigger an erection of the penis. All of this is not pathological, but a phenomenon of political parties. Some people also experience penile erections during sleep, but the frequency and duration of penile erections vary with age: adolescent adolescents can have an average of about 6 erections per night, with each erection lasting about 20-30 minutes; young adults have an average of 1-1. Erect once every 5 hours; After middle age, the number of penile erections decreases; A healthy elderly person aged 65 can still have several erections every night. Just because these erections occur during sleep, the person involved is not aware of it. The presence or absence of a penile erection during sleep is a reliable indicator of whether the penis can erect in a conscious state. The ability of the penis to erect during sleep indicates normal sexual function, and even impotence is psychogenic (psychogenic); When the penis cannot erect during sleep, it is organic impotence, which can be seen in diabetes, nerve damage or vascular penis obstruction.
Expert analysis from Shenyang 463 Hospital: What happens to penile erection after deep sleep?
Our internal organs are innervated by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, and sexual organs are no exception. Penile erection is controlled by the parasympathetic nerve of the sacral cord, and when the parasympathetic nerve is excited, the penis will erect.
Both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves have a certain level of tension (i.e. weak and sustained excitement), and they fight against each other like a seesaw. When the sympathetic nervous system is excited, the parasympathetic nervous system is relatively suppressed. During the day, the sympathetic nervous system is relatively dominant due to various stimuli from the environment; When quiet and sleeping at night, especially during heteromorphic sleep, the parasympathetic nerves dominate, leading to male penile erection and female genital congestion. There are two folk rhymes: "When men start writing at the third watch, the lotus blossoms in the middle of the night in women." This indicates that predecessors have long observed this physiological phenomenon. Therefore, after falling asleep at night, an erection of the penis is not pathological and does not require treatment.
The urogenital infection diagnosis and treatment center of Beijing Shenyang 463 Hospital Men's Hospital has formed a unique and distinctive professional feature in the treatment of penile foreskin inflammation, regardless of medical resources, professional testing equipment, diagnosis and treatment equipment and methods. The center has a complete set of scientifically authoritative therapies known as the gold standard for the treatment of urinary and reproductive infections, successfully solving the problem of recurrent urinary and reproductive infections.
In addition, experts from Shenyang 463 Hospital emphasize that those with recurrent inflammation of the glans penis and foreskin caused by phimosis or excessive foreskin should undergo circumcision surgery to prevent recurrence.
