Patient's question:
When a child has an erection every day during sleep or upon waking up, is it normal?Doctor's answer:
Normal children experience varying degrees of penile erection upon waking up or when holding back urine. If there is no erection, it is highly related to kidney stones. The occurrence of kidney stones is closely associated with improper long-term dietary habits and inadequate calcium supplementation. It often leads to symptoms such as significant lower back pain, backache, and hematuria, affecting daily life. It is necessary to visit a hospital for a detailed examination to determine the severity of the kidney stones. Targeted oral medications, such as stone-passing granules, may be prescribed. In severe cases, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and surgical treatment may be required, which can be effective to some extent.
