I'm trying to figure out the right dosage for taking Daflon for varicose veins. Should I be taking 500 mg twice a day or 1000 mg once a day? It's a bit confusing, and I just want to make sure I'm doing it properly. Can you help clarify this?

Nocturnal Penile Tumescence (NPT) and Morning Erection_

1. Normal phenomenon: Morning erections are a normal phenomenon, occurring due to increased testosterone levels and REM sleep.
2. Temporary absence: It's not uncommon for morning erections to be absent occasionally, especially during periods of stress, fatigue, or hormonal changes.

Possible Causes for Absence of Morning Erection

1. Stress and mental health: Mental depression, anxiety, or stress can affect hormonal balance and lead to a decrease in morning erections.
2. Hormonal changes: Fluctuations in testosterone levels or other hormonal imbalances can impact morning erections.
3. Sleep patterns: Poor sleep quality, insomnia, or disrupted REM sleep can affect morning erections.
4. Environmental factors: Extreme temperatures, humidity, or weather changes might contribute to temporary changes in morning erections.
5. Underlying medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as hypogonadism, diabetes, or neurologic disorders, can affect morning erections.

Manage stress and mental health_: Engage in stress-reducing activities, such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. 3. Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Prioritize a balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep. 4. Monitor and track changes: Keep a journal to track changes in morning erections, sleep patterns, and overall well-being.
