Recent tendency of world population is becoming to increase the aged people. In the situation, as very serious problem, average life span of men is several years shorter than women. That is suggesting that we, as specialist of clinical andrology, should justly have attention and make effort to care health of aged male people, and moreover keeping their QOL and well aging.
Then, thinking about what is physiologically the most key function of masculine activity. I believe that the Sleep Related Erection (SRE) is the symbol of masculine physiology, just same as menstruation in women, even though rather daring idea. SRE／Morning Erection as last SRE, are the fundamental function on maleness, being supported by androgen and male cerebral function.
Especially for over 60years old (so-called matured aged male, maintaining of such SRE／Morning Erection is very important factor for having the self-confidence and self-actualization from standing point of biological health and mentality, and furthermore for certifying still not severely arterial sclerosis which related to cardio-vascular episode.
Awareness of sound Morning Erection surely stimulates their mentality as masculine spirit and highly motivation of life activity and suggests to some extent the healthiness of whole body artery.
Then, in this presentation, I would like to discuss the clinical significance of SRE／Morning Erection, in even high aged men, from standing of Men’s Health Medicine and Clinical Andrology.
