I found out I had Jaundice at the end of February, and my bilirubin is now down to 1.9, with my SGPT and SGOT levels being normal. I'm wondering if it's okay to smoke weed occasionally, like once a week?
Unwanted erections during meals can be embarrassing and puzzling. Here are some possible explanations:
_Possible Causes_
1. _Nerve stimulation_: Pressure on the nerves in the pelvic area or spine can cause involuntary erections.
2. _Hormonal fluctuations_: Changes in hormone levels, particularly testosterone, can lead to increased arousal.
3. _Overactive bladder_: A sensitive bladder can cause the nerves to misfire, leading to erections.
4. _Anxiety or stress_: High levels of stress or anxiety can cause physical responses like erections.
5. _Certain medications_: Some medications, such as antidepressants or blood pressure medications, can cause increased arousal as a side effect.
_What to Do_
1. _Consult a doctor_: Discuss your symptoms with a primary care physician or a urologist to rule out underlying medical conditions.
2. _Keep a symptom journal_: Track when the erections occur, what you're eating, and any other factors that might be contributing.
3. _Practice relaxation techniques_: Stress-reducing activities like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga might help alleviate anxiety-related erections.
