Morning Erections Question

[Gene Devine]

Could HCG raise Blood Glucose? I started HCG this week and my BS readings have been high, even eating a Low Carb diet.

Not that I've ever heard of.

I thought the cause of Nocturnal Penile Tumescence was still in the theory stage.

 

[Nelson Vergel]

The reason we have erections while we sleep is to heal and regenerate penile tissue. The penis is the only body part that is not full of blood all day.

Men who do not have nocturnal erections tend to develop penile fibrosis and vascular (blood flow) issues due to poor regeneration of penile tissue.

"It happens to grown men. It happens to little boys. Even babies. Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT), known these days as “morning wood,” is a universal human male trait. In fact, our very, very little bros get ‘em in utero. And it's not just morning wood, it's midnight wood and 3 a.m. wood, too. That provides a clue as to why men have erections when we're sleeping. NPT is very closely linked to rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. The exact mechanism at work has not yet been fully teased out, but during REM sleep activity in part of the brain called the pontine area (among others) increases. It's thought that this triggers a cascade of events including the release of nitric oxide by nerve fibers in the penis. This cascade is mediated by androgen hormones like testosterone. Though it happens in REM sleep, which is also associated with dreams, we don't necessarily have to be dreaming about all the ways guys who go to Vegas have more fun than we do when we go to Vegas. After all, those in utero boys haven't yet heard of the "gentlemen's club" the Spearmint Rhino. NPT does not depend on erotic visuals. A 2005 article in the Journal of Sexual Medicine suggests that NPT serves an evolutionary purpose: “It has been speculated that the main function of nocturnal erections is to provide adequate engorgement of the corpora cavernosa, which then leads to increased tissue oxygenation. This is in turn [prevents] cavernous fibrosis, the histopathological basis for corporeal veno-occlusive dysfunction, which probably is the most common cause of organic erectile dysfunction.” In other words, our brains are giving our penises a little nighttime workout, strictly for maintenance, to make sure we stay tuned up."

Tell your doctor that your nipples are EXTRA sensitive. That's what I told mine and without further questions he gave me a prescription for arimidex. <----My nipples were very sensitive tho.

[bruin]

so, your nipples were just the reason you used or you needed it for that reason.......what did arimidex do for you

I mentioned the nipple sensitivity to the dr and he just gave me the arimidex. Yes, the nipple sensitivity was the sole reason for the arimidex. Nipples are not sensitive anymore.

So is the consensus that high E2 causes joint pain, I have always thought that but you usually here about low E2 causing it. Mine is high and my joints hurt so bad that I can't even get down on a floor and do anything most of the time, it hurts to sit, stand, walk it doesn't matter. I used to think it was arthritis until I started researching and realized I had low T and all the crap that goes with it.
