      Morning erection male Between 4 and 7 o'clock in the morning, the penis erects spontaneously and unconsciously. It is an important performance or reference indicator of normal and strong sexual function.

      At present, the reason why morning erections occur is still unclear in the medical field. A normal man's penis is usually in a relaxed state, except when it becomes erect under sexual stimulation or certain external stimulation. But sometimes reflexes from internal organs can cause penile erection. The most obvious thing is that penile erection often occurs before waking up in the morning, which is medically called morning erection.

      Netizen’s question: I’m going Hospital During the examination, the doctor asked me how I was doing with my morning erection. I thought I was fine. Every morning when I was holding in my urine, I could feel my lower body being very hard. However, the doctor said that holding my urine in was not related to my morning erection. Why?

      Answer: After men enter puberty and reach middle age, it is a normal physiological reaction to have morning erections. Due to individual differences, the changes that occur every day are not consistent, that is, the hardness, thickness, and duration of erections are different. As long as nerve This phenomenon will occur if the structure and function of blood vessels and corpus cavernosum of the penis are normal.

      The erection that a man sees when he gets up in the morning is actually the body's last autonomous reaction. It is not the result of holding back urine, because when men hold back urine during the day, they will not have an erection. According to the description, there is nothing wrong with your morning erections. If you still have doubts, you should go to a regular hospital for a detailed diagnosis for targeted treatment.
