All mature and normal men have the experience of penis erection in the morning, but few people know about penis erection at night. Night erection refers to the erection of the penis when a person is asleep. The erection of penis at night and in the morning is one of the important indicators to measure male sexual function.
Research has found that men have spontaneous penile erection after falling asleep. The number of erections varies greatly with age, constitution and sexual function. Generally speaking, young men have 7-8 erections every night. The number of erections decreases with age. For healthy and normal elderly people, the number of erections is about 2-3 times per night.
However, if sexual function is decreased or impaired, the number of erections at night will decrease or even disappear. Night erection is an important objective index for the diagnosis of pathological impotence. If an impotent patient still has an erection at night, he is only functional impotent; If there is no erection at night, the correct diagnosis of pathological impotence can be made.
The cause and effect of nighttime erection are still unclear. Some people believe that the night is the peak period for testicular production and secretion of androgen (testosterone), and erection is the result of increased androgen level in the blood; Some people also believe that nighttime erection is the result of the active autonomic nerve function at night and the function of the body's own maintenance and repair.
As for the morning erection, it is an easily observed indicator of sexual function. If you haven't had an erection in the morning for a long time, be careful, your sexual function begins to decline. It's time to do something to maintain your sexual function. You don't care about it. Who can care about it?
Does hypolibido lead to impotence (ED)?
Sexual desire decline and impotence (ED) are mutually causal. On the one hand, many skills are acquired and need constant practice and review, and sexual ability is no exception. From a physiological point of view, the process of erection is that the nerves and blood vessels are doing "gymnastics", the nerves are responsible for transmitting signals, and the blood vessels finally complete "filling and perfusion".
For a long time without sex life, it is inevitable that information is not available and actions are not flexible. On the other hand, most patients with impotence (ED) face the situation of "powerless" and have little interest in sexual life, which will worsen the problem in the long run.
Hypolibido
Once men have sex desire decline, they should actively seek solutions, because long-term absence of normal sexual life will affect the normal physiological function of men, and may even lead to erectile dysfunction (ED).
