Questioning Urologist

[Gavalar09]

So I had a private appointment with a Uro about 5 months ago and considering a second opinion.

I was told by them that you don't need night and morning erections for a healthy penis but all research suggests otherwise.

Am I wrong to be questioning him?

In my opinion, yes. If the penis isn't stretched out via erections regularly length will be lost. In the 2 years I waited to get implanted after injections stopped working, I think my loss was about an inch. Rarely had a nocturnal erection in those two years.

Take it from me, no erections can result in a great deal of size loss over time. IMHO most urologists will agree about the need for boners.

You can always try pulse pumping which, to some extent, simulates the process your dick goes through at night during REM sleep.

This is why I'm so confused a urologist would say I don't need morning or night erections.

If I were you, I would seek out another Uro and get a second opinion.

Maybe the doctor was just trying to put some ease to your mind. You're 28 so your erections are probably going to be less frequent than say when you were 16. If you still get erect, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Could it be you are just not observing the erections that occur in your sleep?

Sometimes I get night or morning erections, and sometimes I do not. My penis works, but it has changed as I age.
