Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am a patient with prostatitis. At night, during my lunch break, and when I fall asleep, my penis always gets erect and stays hard until I wake up to urinate, after which it gradually returns to normal. If I fall into a deep nap, it gets erect again. What could be the reason? I sincerely ask for your guidance.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, nocturnal penile erection is a normal phenomenon and is not closely related to prostatitis. It is recommended that you maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and seafood, and drink more water. This will gradually improve. Erections indicate good sexual function, so there is no need to worry. If you have prostatitis, it is important to drink more water and engage in appropriate physical activity. Sexual activity should be restrained. The above suggestions are for this issue. It is hoped that they will be helpful to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
