Morning Wood with the urge to urinate better than normal morning wood

Hello good people!

I get morning erections like 6/10, however when I wake up with the urge to urinate the erection is like 8/10.
Also, once I urinate, the erection quality decreases almost instantaneously.

This leads me to believe that the inflated urinary bladder might have to do something with the erection quality, possibly it helps by holding the blood back in the penis due to the pressure of the inflated bladder.
I have a bad case of ED in general, morning woods are infrequent.

My doubts/observation are as follows:

A. Do you find my observation in this case to be accurate?
B. Any one facing a similar situation?
C. If my hypothesis is correct, any thing that I may do so that my erections get better without the support of a full urinary bladder (which, needless to point out wont be the most enjoyable state to be having sex in).

Many a thanks to you guys!

I also have a bad case of ED but have not noticed your symptoms enough to support your hypothesis. I have read that a full bladder can stimulate the same nerves that induce an erection, thus connecting good morning wood and a full bladder. I am curious to hear other’s thoughts on your hypothesis.

I have noticed that if I do have a morning erection that it does go away when I empty my bladder, but I normally cant get or keep an erection while standing so attributed the loss to standing.

Thanks 32quarter for your input.

I’d like to ask a few questions regarding your post:

1. If you just stand with an erection and a full bladder, does the erection wane or lessen just by standing itself, even though you have not urinated?
2. Is your ED more like you can get an okay erection at times, but cannot hold it long after that?
3. As you mentioned, erection is poorer when standing. Do you get a better boner in other positions?
4. Do you have a compromised posture when you stand, something like an anterior pelvic tilt?
5. When erect, does your shaft get hard but the glans does not inflate and remains more or less the same size as non erect?

I think if your erection wanes only after you urinate, you’re in the same boat as I am. I too have difficulty maintaining an erection while standing and lying on my back. It is better when I am lying on my side though. If I have a morning boner, I will be harder when I’m lying on my side, and it wanes when I lie on my back or I stand.

What I am trying to figure out here is to what percent is the pelvic floor responsible in this condition.

Thanks once again.

Good questions, let my try and respond.
1). No. My morning erection from (or with) a full bladder generally will stay until I’ve emptied it. It sometimes can be a challenge to reduce the erection enough so that I can pee.
2) My ED story is too long and complicated for this space, but in summary, it has improved from my worst days when nothing worked. Today I can get erections with EQ in the range from say 80%-100% but I hated the variability. Occasional ED symptom would be losing erection during sex or sometimes keeping erection but losing sensitivity, so could keep going seemingly forever. I now use a c-ring 100% of the time as I get consistently hard and a well over half the time have a much larger girth, say a 110% erection.
3) I may get a little fluff while standing but laying down is my most successful position for an erection. If I am using a c-ring I can get up and move around without losing the erection.
4) No posture issues.
5) No issue with glans.

I havent noticed a difference in laying on my side vs on my back. Also fyi, I’ve been on T replacement for many years and also take Cialis 5mg/d, may up it to 10mg/d for “special occasions”.

Thanks 32!

So far I am concluding that a full bladder does contribute to an erection. It is however not clear how, maybe by reducing blood flow or maybe by stimulating some nerve.

As far as I understand, c rings work by holding back penile blood. Is it correct?

If so, was your ED caused by a venous leak or something like that?

Can you shed some light on how you got ED and how you improved it to the present EQ?

I personally did the angion method for a while and got good improvements. So much so that my dick started to work again, albeit there was still a lot of scope for improvements further.

Then i stopped the angion methof for like a month or two and a lot of the improvement went away.
