Patient's question:
My son is 10 years old. He often has erections, and this happens frequently even while sleeping at night. He also feels uncomfortable about it. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Hello, first of all, it's important to understand the cause of the condition. The reasons for a child's penile erection should first be considered as normal morning erections. Additionally, urinary stimulation should be taken into account, as well as the possibility of inflammation, such as irritation from phimosis or excessive foreskin. Only then should issues related to precocious puberty be considered.It is widely known that abnormal penile erections can cause significant harm to patients, so it is crucial to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary habits, with a focus on light and nutritious foods, avoiding foods. Moreover, regular follow-up appointments may be necessary if needed.
