The moment I get in bed to go to sleep its get hard. It will stay that way untill I get up. After I get up it takes about 15 minutes before it goes down.Sometimes while I am asleep It wakes me up because it is so hard it hurts. Any advise
I am 54 and for the last 10 years I have had poor sleeping quality most of the nights. I would wake up many times during sleep with rock hard erections. Is there a medicine to cure this problem?

It is best to sleep nude so that one's penis can expand without being constrained by underwear or pajamas.

Also masturbating before going to bed helps.

I think the only cure for this is masturbating, otherwise erections and wet dreams are following... I am 17 and guess what, i masturbate like 2-4 times a day and again i feel turned on all night, specially now in the summer... Oh and by the way, i ain't sure, when do i finish puberty? I still have morning woods and yeah...

Did you have improvments ? did you have any good diagnostics ?

Nocturnal erections are not a disease. They are normal and do not require treatment. Just wear loose clothing or nothing at all so you penis can expand without constraint.

you're wrong! This is recurrent priapism and this need more research to find treatment.

The pain you get is most likely just epididymal hypertension (aka blue balls, which is not necessarily to be taken in the literal sense, as there's no actual discolouration most of the time). It can cause cramps, spasms, tension in adjacent tissues & muscles and sometimes feel like your whole lower abdominal and urogenital area is hurting (especially after several hours or even days of prurience), but it's mostly the areas surrounding the testicles that is stressed & irritated and thus radiates the actual pain - they're also most likely rather sensitive then.
This has nothing to do with seminal congestion (as there actually isn't any such thing), but it's often related to not having had a release (as in an ejaculation and/or orgasm (not the same thing), no matter how (masturbation or sex or etc)). Even after you do have a release, there can still be significant pain or stress felt afterwards, if you're often aroused anyway. - Try to get aroused in a more controlled conscious way, and then try to have a release once in a while (like 2-3 times per week). You may still often feel a slight stress in the testicular area but significantly less actual pain.
If there's actual pain and it doesn't subside within two days after a release, there could be another underlying issue and you may want to consider to visit an actual physician.

Morning woods never stop, unless you become frigid or asexual or get erectile dysfunctions (for whatever reason, can be age, can be anything pathological, can be some medication).
Morning woods are a strong indicator that your libido still works and (e.g. if you actually *had* erectile dysfunctions) that there's nothing wrong with you physically (that would prevent you from actually getting an erection), etc..
Other than that, all I can say is, you should be happy with morning woods, nightly erections and even with what some people call blue balls - all of these show that your body is working just as intended.
Erections shouldn't bother you, unless they either last longer than 4 hours (possible priapismic issues, and yes even during all-night sex), or frequently don't go away so they keep you from living your life.
As some people already suggested, avoid tight clothes (especially at night, but overly tight clothes are never good for your testicles anyway, as well as uncomfortable with an erection) - and if you're used to just masturbate regularly (or at least get an erection often) without relief, I recommend to ejaculate once in a while - try to have fewer but more intense orgasms - instead of furiously rushing to ejaculate.
Try to relax more often (exercise, meditate, etc), sleep regularly (at least 6 hours) and tune your diet.
Drink tea & water (avoid coffee & lemonade). Become content with what you are and what you do.

For some people, puberty can last until they're 25, and then have an influence on them long after that.
I'd say most people finish puberty around 20 - this greatly depends on a few other things, like when and how their puberty started (it's more radical for some people than others, and for some it's very noticeable with 10 while others need a few years longer to "start up") which is mostly conditioned by genetics - and other things like illness, stress, etc *can* have detrimental effects on their development too.. There's not much you can do about most of that though..
