The occasional absence of a morning erection is not in itself a reason to panic. Tiredness, poor sleep, stress, alcohol and general health can all affect whether it occurs on a particular morning.
If morning erections are absent for a longer period and there is also difficulty during intercourse, it is worth checking the cause. Morning erections depend on blood vessel, nerve and hormone function and the quality of sleep, so their prolonged absence can be useful information for the doctor. During the examination, it is important to mention when the change was noticed and whether there are other symptoms. This helps assess whether additional diagnostics are needed.
