Morning erection "refers to a natural erection of the penis in an unconscious state between 4 and 7 o'clock in the morning, without being controlled by the situation, actions, or thoughts. At present, the mechanism of morning erection is not very clear.

So, how can we assess a man's health status based on the frequency of mornings?

Why do men get an erection in the morning?
Morning erection is related to male hormone levels. After a night of sleep and rest, male hormone levels such as testosterone reach their peak at sunrise, resulting in a morning erection. Some people also believe that this is a process of human evolution. In primitive times, men also packed their bags and went hunting on the morning of sunrise. At this time, men had the highest testosterone levels and the lowest testosterone levels at sunset. Naturally, men have the opportunity to communicate their genes before going out, but they did not have the opportunity to return home due to an accident that day, which is also the power that nature conveys to men.
The reflex effect of internal organs can also lead to penile erection. Perhaps due to the increased pressure in the bladder filled with urine in the morning, it stimulates internal organs, leading to a subconscious reflex erection of the penis and compressing the nearby seminal vesicles. Once this stimulation is transmitted through the nerves, it can also lead to the phenomenon of near ejaculation reaction.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver is the source of blood, and its blood volume during sleep is several times higher than usual. The corpus cavernosum of the penis is actually a vascular organ tissue that can bear a portion of the responsibility for storing blood in the liver's blood bank. In this case, of course, it will expand due to unconsciously congestion.
