I go to.bed and when ready to sleep turn over onto my tummy. I can then feel my penis getting hard.. and so it serns to remain all night. Last night being a case in point . I woke up uncomfortable a few times always extremely hard and getting up this morning its the same. Within seconds of waking it subsides
I m just 50 is this a sign of getting older. Its only started recently.

if you take a Vick’s nasal inhaler and use it, it will relieve your erection. Also Sudafed would do this as well. I am assuming that this erection is not caused by erotic stimulation. It’s something called priapism. Look it up, it sounds like what you have. Also what medications do you take. I know that trazodone is famous for causing this side effect.
As this is a new phenomenon I'd speak to your doctor about it.
Nocturnal Penile Tumescence (NPT) often called morning wood is perfectly normal. your penis will normally become erect several times a night. This is your body's way of making sure that things are working well. I've woken during the night many times with an erection from the age of about 10-12. I'm now 57 and it still happens regularly. Last night I woke three times with an erect penis.
I personally use the hardness of my morning wood as a barometer to my general health. I have a host of health issues including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and finding an erection in the morning is a positive sign for me.
I recommend speaking to your doctor about your concerns.
