With every year of life, not only all the internal organs of the child's body are improved. Development occurs in the reproductive system. Its formation begins in the womb of the mother. There are situations when parents notice an erection with their son at a time when, in their opinion, puberty has not come. This worries them, because thoughts immediately come to mind about any pathology.
Chubby in young children
The first erection in boys, that is, an increase in the penis, can occur even in infancy, 2-4 years, or in primary school. True, not because of sexual arousal. Your son may experience a mechanical erection. It occurs usually as a result of different effects: the friction of the penis with a full diaper, tight panties, a filled bladder. The sex organ of a boy can also increase due to inflammation and disease. So, for example, an erection is a consequence of a disease of the rectum or helminthic invasion.
In some cases, an erection in children appears unfounded. It is believed that this is "guilty" of the sudden activity of the spinal center of erection.
In addition, in boys, especially the one-year-old age, an erection arises from the swinging of the trunk back and forth in the knee-elbow position, which they often take in the period of falling asleep.
Penis enlargement in the baby is sometimes stimulated by parents caressing and kissing in the gusts of tenderness of the genital area and the organs themselves.
Erection in adolescent boys
Rapid sexual development of the male half of humanity begins on average 10-12 years. At this moment, the penis begins to increase in the boys. With the growth of the penis, the child is awakened by the libido. Therefore, 12 years is the age when the boys begin an erection as a result of sexual desire. In addition, the teenager sees erotic dreams, as a result of which there are pollutions - involuntary ejaculation. From the age of 12-14 comes the period of masturbation. Parents and doctors look at this with different eyes. The former are cautious. Doctors consider masturbation in teenagers to be quite normal. Very often erection occurs in boys spontaneously, for example, because of tight underwear, jeans, because of rubbing while riding a bicycle, running.
Parents should not worry, because an erection in adolescence is a kind of training the reproductive system of his son. On the contrary, such a condition of the boy's penis at night and in the morning, a spontaneous increase in the sexual organ is a sign that everything is going right.
