What Is A Female Doctors Opinion On Male Patients Getting Erections?

what is a Female doctors opinion on male patients getting erections during their physical exam

several times this has happened to me and I feel embarrassed and want to apologize but am not sure if that is the right course of action. So I would like to know what a female family doctor thinks when this happens.

dear doctor
being a doctor is not being gender biased neither a doctor can be
however for a female doctor too its part and parcel of the one profession and we have been extensively trained for 1st year anatomy to final year surgery.

You don't have to embarrassed per SE because this is also a normal phenomenon and would happen every other day.
The priority still is the findings of physical examination and course of action.

And for the similar reasons a male doctor needs the presence of a female attendant/ nurse.
