What does microangiopathic changes mean?

What causes bruising?

If the cause of erections is blood flow why do you not have a constant erection?
Erections are not constant because the body has mechanisms that regulate blood flow to the penis. When you are not sexually aroused, blood flow to the penis is restricted by the contraction of blood vessels, preventing a continuous erection. Erections occur in response to sexual stimulation when these blood vessels relax, allowing increased blood flow to the penis.
