Question:
Nurses, doctors, anybody: PLEASE HELP NOW! this is an embarassing male problem, but I need advice!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok I'm going to be graphic here. My penis has been erect for a long time now, and it will not go down!
No this is not some joke punchline, and its getting painful. I'm not even thinking about sexual things at all now anymore, and I haven't taken any viagra or anything like that. And yet it just stays erect, continually, and it won't go down. I am definitely going to see a doctor about it, but I don't know just how urgent this is. It would make sense if I'd taken some drug or something, but this is wierd.
How long before this becomes something serious?
And what is the mechanism or dangers exactly?
Answers:
the condition is called a priapism. If your erection has been longer than 4 hours, get to the emergency room or urgent care center. potential complications include permanent erectile dysfunction
