Have you ever asked yourself why men always wakes up with an erect penis every morning?
Maybe not if only you are a lady and u know nothing about that.
This is also kwown as morning wood or else nocturnal penile tumescence(NPT). This may be brought by many reasons though not fully medically proven.
First, it may be brought by high levels of testosterone in the morning. This alone may cause penile erection even in the absence of physical stimulation.
This is usually common in young boys and men but as age progress and one attains the age of 40 to 50 years, natural levels of testosterone lowers and this automatically reduces the episodes of nocturnal penile tumescence.
Secondly, the state by which the mind is at rest and all vital organs are not highly supplied with blood, a lot of blood is pumped to the penis making it erect.
A point to note is that experiencing morning erections is very health for every man as long as you have not being diagnosed with a medical condition that hinders the process. If only you are healthy and does not experience this, then you should visit a doctor and get tested. This is because there may be a problem that hinders adequate blood flow to the penis leading to erectile dysfunction.
Some of these causes may be;
?Obesity and overweight.
?Hypertension.
?Diabetes.
?Depression and stress.
?Medications like painkillers, antipsychotics and antidepressants.
Finally, for the betterment of your sexual health as a man, if you notice something abnormal with your normal body processes, always speak to the doctor.
