Patient's question:
Health consultation description: When taking a nap in the evening, the penis becomes erect every night around midnight, waking the person up. It stays erect for a long time, and only after going to the toilet does it become soft. After using the toilet, the person falls back asleep, and the penis becomes erect again, although there is no need to use the toilet. During the last health check, the urine test results were normal. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you are concerned about your health issues and don't know what to do, feeling quite troubled. In this situation, when your penis becomes erect at night, it happens because your parasympathetic nervous system becomes active, causing blood to flow into your penis, which leads to an erection. However, it will fully recover after a short rest. This is a process of complete recovery of penile function. Relatively speaking, it is also a normal occurrence, and there is no need to worry too much. Wishing you happiness.
