Morning erection, or so-called nocturnal penile swelling (NPT), occurs in men of all ages, although it is common in young men even at a very young age. Sometimes, a child about 8 years old can even experience the morning wood. As men age, from 40 to 50 years old, natural testosterone levels begin to decline. As testosterone levels continue to decline, the number of morning fog episodes may also decrease.
This is a situation where a man woke up in the morning and had an erection. Sometimes it can make a man feel awkward, especially when someone is around, and other times it can boost his confidence as a man.
Morning Wood is a sign of health, it means a functioning blood and nervous system in and around a person’s private organs. As male erectile dysfunction problems begin to appear, this condition will become less frequent, and as we age, these problems will become more frequent.
1. Physical stimulation: When you sleep, although your eyes are closed, your body is still very aware of what is happening around you. If you or your partner accidentally touch or scratch your genitals, you are likely to get an erection. When your body feels irritation and responds with an erection.
2. Hormonal changes: After getting up in the morning, your testosterone level is the highest. It is highest immediately after waking up from rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Even without any physical stimulation, the increase in this hormone alone is enough to cause an erection.
3. Brain relaxation: When you are awake, your body will release hormones to inhibit erection. When you fall asleep, your body releases fewer of these hormones. Combine this fact with other reasons why you might get an erection during sleep, and NPT is more likely.
Having morning wood when you wake up is an indicator of the health of the blood and nerve supply of your private organs. If you have not encountered this situation, you may encounter some problems related to your private organs, and you need to see a doctor to get the correct diagnosis and treatment.
