Question
A parent is concerned about their 10-year-old son frequently experiencing erections during sleep and wonders if this could be a sign of precocious puberty. The parent states that the child has not undergone any related checks and believes this is a normal occurrence.
Answer
Thank you for your message. Based on the situation you described, attributing the child’s erections directly to precocious puberty is not scientifically sound. Generally speaking, this does not necessarily indicate a problem. However, if you feel uneasy, it is advisable to take your child to the hospital for a check-up; there is no harm in doing so. Please rest assured that proper care of your child usually does not pose any issues. Also, do not over-worry, and wish you and your family health!
