A member asked:
Embarrassed about prostate exam: is there a possibility of unintentionally getting an erection from pressure on your prostate and how common is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prostate exam: While there is a small risk that an erection might occur, it is nothing to be embarrassed about. It will subside quickly. Since you will not be facing the person who does the exam, it will probably go unnoticed.
