Question
Does it normal for a child to have frequent erections during sleep or upon waking up?
Answer
It is normal for children to experience varying degrees of penile erections upon waking up or after holding urine. If a child cannot achieve an erection, it may be related to kidney stones. Kidney stones often occur due to long-term poor diet, improper calcium supplementation, and are often accompanied by symptoms such as severe lower back pain, back pain, and hematuria, affecting normal daily life. It is recommended to undergo detailed examinations to confirm the severity of kidney stones, and oral medications such as stone dissolving granules may be used. In severe cases, extracorporeal lithotripsy or surgery may be necessary.
