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.
