Many male friends may find that in the early morning, their penis will have an erection phenomenon. Is this normal? What's the matter with this erection of the penis?
Why does morning erection appear?
This is actually a normal phenomenon for men, which is medically called morning erection. Not only that, but men also have erections during deep sleep. This penile erection usually occurs during intermittent rapid eye movements, the dreaming phase. At this time, penile erection is usually not disturbed by psychological factors, and it can more realistically show the male sexual function. Clinically, this kind of erection softness and hardness provides a very important indicator for the research and treatment of sexual function.
For a normal male, there will be three to five erections every night, with an average erection time of 15 minutes each, but some as long as an hour. As long as the nerves, blood vessels and the corpus cavernosum are normal in structure and function, there will be an erection.
At present, when diagnosing whether a man has organic ED, a professional hardness tester is also used to check the condition of nocturnal erection. An expert from Shanxi Boda Urology Hospital said that the instrument is about the size of the palm of the hand and can be fixed on the thigh, and two leather rings are placed on the head and bottom of the penis. It can record the number of penile erections in one night and the time and hardness of each erection. This examination is very important for the differential diagnosis of physiological and psychological ED. After some ED patients have this test, they will find that they do not actually have erectile dysfunction, which means that there is no ED problem.
