Patient's question:
I recently don't know why my lower body feels very uncomfortable, and I'm also not experiencing morning erections anymore. What are the reasons for morning erections in men?Doctor's answer:
Normal men can experience penile erections during sleep, and the frequency of erections varies depending on physical condition and age. Strong young men may have erections approximately once every 1-1.5 hours, with each erection lasting about 20 minutes, resulting in 6-7 erections per night. During middle age, the number of nightly erections is reduced to 3-4. Even in healthy men aged 65, there are still 2-3 erections per night. Therefore, erections are a physiological phenomenon. If other discomforting symptoms occur, it is recommended to visit a regular hospital for examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
