Priapism
When a painful erection lasts and is unrelated to sexual stimulation, it is important to seek medical care right away, since it may be an emergency. Priapism is exactly that: a persistent and often painful erection that lasts longer than usual.
Why it matters to act quickly: when it is prolonged, it can affect the tissues of the penis, which is why it is important not to wait.
Common causes: it can be associated with certain blood disorders, effects of some medications, injuries, or factors that the physician must evaluate.
