Needed pelvic floor PT and had a young woman therapist. Had been diagnosed as late 50s prostatitis but it was pelvic muscular disorder. She totally cured me with trigger release and groin massages and she taught me home exercises. I got an erection several times and once ejaculated during an exam when she touched my prostate. She was totally cool about it and it was fine. I was very lucky to find her.

Let's get a couple of things straight here ...
Dr. Susie, ... You are not only a 'Great Dr. ... You are a master of 'innuendo', .... I love what you did here ... and the first two times, skipping around this video, I didn't even see your 'stuffed animal' at 2:43 ... I love you Dr. Sus ...

Thank you for an honest and straightforward discussion of an issue many of us think about. I appreciate your straight forward approach without endless talking. Thanks!!!

Last time I saw my primary doctor for a "wellness check" she told me I had to stop masturbating. I said "why?" She said "so I can finish examining you."

She is in the medical field and i would never be ashamed to have this happen

Now that I am a lot lot older, I don't worry about it all that much. Also, we are both adults in the room right. So the sight of an erection should not be that much of a concern in a professional setting.

Good advice. Patients really need to understand that we know that these things can happen involuntarily from time to time during exams.
I always try to put them at ease and assure them it's completely fine.
Having an understanding, sympathetic demeanor can go a long way.

"Let's get a couple of things straight" is a good way to start this....

I have a wonderful female urologist. The first time I visited her she conducted a prostate exam. I didn’t have an embarrassing experience, but I did break the ice very easily and effectively. As she was “rooting around” I told her “I don’t normally do this on a first date.” Afterwards, I told her that she now knows me more intimately than even my wife, and in a much shorter time frame. The laughter I got from her was all we needed to start a great doctor/patient relationship that continues now for about 10 years.

Erections are a gift, whenever and wherever they happen. There is NO reason for a man to be ashamed of getting sexually aroused, because it's how are bodies are meant to work! I love this video.

Nice “pillow” at the end of this video! I loved the way you smiled and held it…

I can think of one health concern where the patient would be happy to get an erection during a pelvic health therapy session. That would be for the complaint of erectile dysfunction. Doctor, you've cured me in one treatment!.

Speaking as a health care professional— Here’s the thing: We really don’t care! We do care if your discomfort interferes with us doing our job. So we care about your feelings in a very pragmatic way. If you’re here for pelvic work or yes a prostate exam, your spinal chord may stimulate an erection. It’s not personal one way or the other.

[thurstonmunn]

A good common-sense approach, nicely stated.

Lol. I had this conversation with my therapist the first session. It broke the ice 16 weeks of therapy I didn’t get a erection but she insured me if I did no big deal . great she did a great job with me. She was fantastic therapist and I’m now 100% back to normal 😀 im blessed to have worked with her!

[Matbiel]

It happened to me. I can't lie the Dr was cute but the touching got me it was awkward at first but she was very nice and said it was ok it does happen. I do now communicate to my newer Drs that this has happened. It's always gone well. Great advice 😊

I’ve always had a male physician when I was a kid till middle school. Once I’ve moved to a different city. My primary care physician was a woman. It was really embarrassing when I’ve got my first erection while she was checking me. Right in front of my mom. Talk about being traumatized.

[SellysShorts]

Good video, I got one when my female doctor gave me an exam down there recently, I was really embarrassed but she didn't react to it or comment even though it was really obvious, I have been thinking about that a lot and been embarrassed but now I am happy to hear that it is a more common thing and it is probably not the only time that happened with her!
