To sign 'erection', start by placing your flat non-dominant hand, palm facing down, resting on the inner elbow or bicep of your dominant arm. Form your dominant hand into an 'S' handshape (a fist) with the forearm pointing forward or slightly down. Then, quickly swing your dominant forearm upward until it stands vertically, keeping your non-dominant hand anchored in place.
To sign this, you would start by signing 'DOCTOR' and 'ASK'. Then, point to the individual you are referring to, sign 'TROUBLE', and finish with the sign for 'ERECTION'. This keeps the medical context clear and straightforward.
Begin by signing 'MEDICINE' and 'CAN CAUSE'. Then, perform the sign for 'ERECTION' and follow it up with a sign like 'LONG-TIME' or 'CONTINUE' to convey that the condition is prolonged. This is useful in healthcare settings.
First, establish the subject by pointing or signing 'HE', then sign 'WAKE-UP' and 'MORNING'. Finally, use the sign for 'ERECTION'. Setting up the time of day before the action helps provide clear context for the sentence.

No, this specific sign is used exclusively for the physiological meaning of the word. If you are talking about constructing a building, putting up a tent, or erecting a monument, you should use the ASL signs for 'BUILD', 'SET-UP', or 'ESTABLISH' instead to avoid any awkward misunderstandings.
You should always use your natural dominant arm for the active part of the sign. If you are right-handed, your right forearm will make the upward swinging motion while your left hand acts as the stationary base. Consistency with your dominant hand helps keep your signing clear.
The movement is typically executed as a single, quick, and firm upward swing. Your forearm should stop abruptly once it reaches a completely vertical position. Making the motion firm and distinct helps accurately convey the concept without needing to exaggerate the movement.
