Brief Answer:
Further evaluation is necessary...

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

I understand that you are worried about your husband's prolonged nocturnal erections. Though having erections without sexual stimulation during night-time is normal for men, it is concerning that your husband is having erections lasting for several hours together, causing him to wake up from his sleep.

The can sometimes be due to certain blood disorders, hormonal abnormalities or even certain neurological conditions. Prolonged erections can lead to scarring inside the penis and can have an effect on future erections. So, in my opinion, it is better to have a proper evaluation in order to rule out any serious problems. This would involve a physical examination (including a neurological examination), certian blood tests and a penile doppler study. I would therefore advise you to consult a urologist for further assistance in this regard.
