A member asked:

What happens if you get an erection during circumcision check up?

6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Erection: Probably nothing bad would happen, however it is not likely to have an erection during this type of exam. If you should have a problem then report it to your doctor during your exam.

Common: Your urologist will ignore it and so should you, often happens and means nothing.
