Patient's question:
I am only 11 years old, and my genitalia become erect at night. Why is this?Doctor's answer:
A normal person can experience 5 to 6 erections in one night, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. Males can start experiencing this phenomenon from the age of 5. If the bladder is full before a man wakes up in the morning, he often experiences morning erections. This spontaneous physiological phenomenon is not subject to a person's will. As one ages, the frequency and duration of penile erections gradually decrease, and it generally has no significant impact on health.
