A member asked:

I'm going in for my post circumcison check up tomorrow, and i'm really nervous i'm going to get an erection. is it normal for this to happen?

Dr. George Klauber answered

Specializes in Pediatric Urology

Quite normal: Try not 2B nervous. Very common for young men & boys to have an erection when they are examined. We as urologists see this all the time. Dr. may just inspect/look at your penis without not even having to touch it.
