Understanding Nighttime Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction can vary throughout the day due to hormonal fluctuations, particularly testosterone levels. Testosterone is highest in the morning, contributing to stronger morning erections, and decreases throughout the day, which may make it harder for some men to achieve erections at night. While hormonal causes are a factor, other common causes include vascular dysfunction, nerve issues, certain medications, and psychological factors like stress and anxiety. These varied influences can result in difficulties with erections at night, highlighting the importance of understanding the underlying factors impacting sexual health.
