Hi,
Erection occurs typically when men become sexually aroused. As a result of that arousal, many factors namely hormones, muscles, nerves and blood vessels all work together to create an erection.
A random erection refers to one that occurs spontaneously without any sexual stimulation. They are most common in adolescents and young adults. Testosterone is the hormone which may play a role in causing random erections.
You can take the following supportive measures to overcome it.
1. Taking a cold shower.
2. Avoid further stimulating the erection.
3. Redirecting attention.
If the problem continues to bother you, kindly get your blood tested for testosterone levels and consult a urologist with the report for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope the information provided help. Let me know if I can assist you further.
All the best.
Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran S.
