Most likely...: On digital rectal exam (DRE), a man would very unlikely get an erection due to DRE-related tension / anxiety / local discomfort / short duration. But, erection may happen through the process of nerve reflex while a man is under light sleep of anesthesia. If it does, the anesthesiologist will give drug to ease such for proceeding with the ongoing procedures. Detail? Ask you urologist.

Means nothing: It's actually fairly common and says nothing at all about what kind of a man you are. Relax and be thankful for good health.
