Is there a relationship between penile abnormal erection and the pituitary gland?

Patient's question:

I have a very shameful secret that I haven't told anyone, which is that even when I'm usually calm, my penis becomes abnormally erect. I don't know why. I've read some books about it and they say it might be due to an excess of some hormone secreted by the pituitary gland. Does that have anything to do with it?

Doctor's answer:

This may be related to: You need to have a thorough head MRI examination, and you also need to visit a 3A hospital for a physical check-up to understand your overall health condition. Then, additional medication treatment can be implemented based on the condition and examination results, followed by periodic follow-up, which may exclude surgical treatment. Male nocturnal erections may be caused by long-term lack of sexual activity, and the pituitary gland should not be affected. This is usually not caused by a disease.
