Is it common to have an erection during CT scan?

Question

I had a CT scan last week and the lady technologist said the e***a tip might "massage my prostate, causing me to have an erection." When she put in the rectal contrast she then had me cough and felt my testicles at the same time to see if there was a hernia. Is this common practice?

Answer 1

Well if you were to say that she proceeded to "polish the one-eyed gopher" then yes, there would be a problem.....
