Embarrassing erections during physical exam?
Is this normal? During the last two or three physical exams, I developed an erection as the doctor examined my testicles? I'm rather self-consious about it and dread going to the doctor for an annual exam in fear that it is not normal or happens again. Thoughts?
BY the way it is quite common, if there is no erections then there might be of ED, being a doctor myself, I often find my patients quite embarrassed, listen to me fellows, being a man, and having an erections in front of a male doctor, no matter what age it is, is quite normal, we are trained with it, and it is normal for us, and we expect that, and if we don't see it, then we suspect a prob, by the way, we do realize if u r trying hard to hide it, so my point is just relax. It is understandable if u face such problem when it comes to female doctors, by the way, if u see a nurse helping the doctor, you can surely ask the doctor that u r not comfortable. Although doctors like us in India, and also in our neighboring China, we always train male nurses for this purpose. I m a sure you can request your doctor such.
Different doctors adhere to different protocols when conducting annual physical exams. Unlike other doctors who have examined me, my present doctor's practice is similar to your doctor's in that I am naked throughout the entire exam. I don't think this is typical, but it's not unheard of. He is very thorough in all aspects, including his examination of my genitals. I always get an erection and he just tells me that all my male parts are in good working order. It does not embarrass me, and he is comfortable about it. If it embarrasses you, you might consider talking to your doctor about it. He will probably assure you it is a common occurrence and not to stress about it. Having a penis that is sensitive to stimulation is not bad thing -- it means your healthy. Be glad of it; some men are not as fortunate.
Every man has two heads, one above his shoulders and one below his navel, he can pretty well control the one above his shoulders. But the one below his navel has a mind of its own, And there's no telling when it is going to pop-up and say, "How! do you do"? Just enjoy them, and be glad that it's stil working.

Hello. maybe I can shed a little light on the situation. Obviously getting an erection during any physical exam of the genitals can be embarrasing for the patient. I can assue you 100% that this is perfectly normal. The main reason for getting such is an erection is the sensation of your genitals being touched. This is not related to any sexual thoughts or desires but a natural bodily reaction which you have no control over. Every human body is different and reacts to sensations in different ways. Some men are extermley sensitive to bodily touches, others are not. As mentioned in many other articles, the doctor(s) are fully aware of this and totaly understand when this sort of thing happens. I will be honest, it has happened to me before! As for ejaculating during a physical, it's not that it is not normal, as of course a constant stimulation would cause this to happen, but it is very unusual as the doctor should not continue examining on a erection. I hope this helps any guys out there who are worried. I too was in the same boat once!!
It happens to me every time I go to the doctor for an exam. I am required to have yearly physicals with the company I work for. The doctor makes me stay naked during the whole exam. Is that normal? He also spends a lot of time examening my penis, testicles, and looking through my pubic hair. I get erections easily anyway and produce precum easily too. I have asked for another doctor but they say he is the only one that can do the physical.
It's just so embarrassing standing their with an erection with fluid dripping out of my penis. Last year was the worst when he was sqeezing my penis looking for "nodules" I accidently ejaculated on the doctors hands. I really wish I could go to another doctor. Is this normal?

I don't mind the leaking or the oozing when I am about to have sex or when I am masturbating, it's just embarassing to be doing it while I am standing naked in frount of the doctor. It seems that just being naked in front of anyone else besides my wife gets the liquid flowing! I will be having my yearly physical exam next week and can't wait to see what happens.
