Hello
Yes, such erection is normal. It can happen particularly if you are getting examined for the first time. During the examination, the patient is asked to undress to expose his private organs. then the doctor see and feel (palpate) the penis and retract the foreskin to see if everything is OK. Do not feel embarrassed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Sujoy Dasgupta
