Erections control in medical settings

Generally during real medical procedures I stay flaccid but I had some erection when they are involving quite long manipulations such as preputial and glans meatus examinations for surgery and during urethral instruments placement. They were embarassing moments fortunately doctors and nurse immediately understood my "disconfort" and give my body time to relax to then continue with the examination. Discussing with an urologist collegue she said it happened often with young males and some procedures, in some cases such as urethral surgery, vascular microsurgery of the penis, preputial plasty and surgery for paraphimosis keeping flaccid and numb the part is absolutely necessary. This includes using different oral drugs, anhestetic injections, local anhestetic spray, cold saline rinsing and a lot of communications with the patient. She said always they tried to avoid drugs distracting the patient and reducing time of manipulation but in some cases it is not enough. What are your experiences with intimate examinations? Do you have the feeling that anhestetics, drugs or specific procedures had been used on your body to avoid this physiological response?

I have only had a full erection during an exam a couple of times, with my long time female PCP. She made no mention of it but, once, wrapped the drape around my penis to conceal it while she completed the genital exam. I recently had a urocuff test, a cystoscopy and most recently a Rezum treatment, all of which are sexually exciting for me but are NOT erection-inducing experiences in real life. I LOVE your pictures, by the way...

I had few intimate examinations in adult life. One of them was a testicle palpation when I was a young man. I was shy and, even though at that age I could have raging erections, I had none when the woman physician examined me. Thirty years later I experienced hernia checks (fingers up the scrotum, "cough hard") and a sounding, but by that time raging erections had disappeared anyway. So, erections were never an issue, even with women physicians or nurses.

Never had to worry about an erection during an exam or procedure. Usually it’s the opposite. Most of the time the shrinkage is significant.

When I was younger such as a teen and in my 20s I would almost always be unable to control a full erection if a female did the exam. As I got older it then became usually a semi erect state but occasionally a full erections, and even now I still get a little bigger and sometimes semi erect but its much easier to control. It was very embarrassing being examined with a full erection but I got used to it. Nothing was ever given to prevent it and in one exam I was given an injection to induce an erection at a urologist.

I rarely get erections during a real exam, but when it's a MEDFET exam it's another story, as I get very excited during the exams or procedure.

I often get a partial erection when my genitals and rectum are being examined, although I've only rarely had those types of exams since my teens.
