Waking up in an aroused state is an indication that the male reproductive system and the hormones are healthy and in good working order. Doctors and researchers believe that nocturnal arousals, in which the male organ is fully firm are due to chemical changes in the brain whilst asleep, and may even serve a purpose for improving male organ health by enhancing the blood flow of oxygen and male organ-specific vitamins and minerals to the tissues. Male Organ Health Men can commonly experience anywhere between 1 and 7 arousals during one night's sleep. Achieving night time arousals is a strong indicator that the male organ, testes and nervous system are currently healthy. When a man goes to his doctor with problems concerning male dysfunction, often one of the main questions the doctor will ask is whether night time arousals are experienced. This helps to determine whether or not male dysfunction is physiological, or psychological. If a man does notice that when he wakes up, he is frequently aroused then there is a good chance the problem may be emotional or psychological in nature. Why Does Nocturnal Arousal Occur? Scientists and doctors do not yet understand why men experience nocturnal arousals. They do however have several theories on the subject. According to a study published in "The Journal of Endocrinology" brain cells known as noradrenergic cells, cells in charge of actively inhibiting the arousal response in men, switches off during REM sleep. Male hormone levels also appear to play a part in the action, as men with low male hormone levels experience fewer nocturnal arousals than men with higher hormone levels. More simply, chemical and hormonal changes during the night cause arousals to occur spontaneously during specific sleep cycles. Other theories suggest that nocturnal arousals occur in order to prevent a full bladder from voiding during sleep. The University of Maryland Medical Center suggest that the purpose of nocturnal arousals is to increase the flow of oxygen to the male organ during night time, to protect overall male organ health. Loss of Nocturnal Arousals If a man doesn't experience night time arousals, it may be a sign that he needs to visit his doctor. Loss of arousals during sleep can mean many different things, but the possibilities include depression, hypogonadism, pituitary gland problems, low male hormone levels, nerve damage, prostate surgery and more. Nocturnal arousals tend to begin in deep REM sleep, so this condition is not always easy to determine. In an effort to solve this problem, doctors can fit a device around the male organ which will record how many arousals occur during a single night's sleep. In a study published in "The Journal of Urology", researchers from Germany using such a device found that before prostate surgery 93% of men experienced normal nocturnal arousals. After prostate surgery, 0% of men experienced any nocturnal arousals at all. SO if a lack of nocturnal arousals coincides with male dysfunction, it is important to visit your doctor and get a diagnosis without delay. Male Organ Health Crèmes Male organ health crèmes are topical products that provide active ingredients directly to the connective tissues, nerves, blood vessels and skin of the male organ. Specialist formulas (most professionals recommend Man1Man Oil) contain vitamin E and C for male hormone balance, alpha lipoic acid for nerve health and regeneration, L-arginine for male function, and rich shea nut butter for skin health and integrity. Use to moisturize and heal skin damaged from dry rubbing at night, support healthy hormone and nerve responses, and improve symptoms of male dysfunction by feeding nutrients directly to the local tissues.
