Priaprism - An Erection You Wouldn't Want to Have

Most men would want to get "it" up for as long as possible. Inability to produce lasting erections usually hurts their ego. But when you have an erection that lasts too long, you shouldn't be that happy either. You could be having priaprism, an erection that lasts for four hours or more and is considered a case of medical emergency.

Urologists point out several reasons for priaprism such as cocaine use and taking drugs for cardiovascular problems, depression and alcohol use. Other reasons remain to be unknown. Priaprism is a rare side effect of drugs for erectile dysfunction and may occur due to overdose.

What men need to know about priaprism is that it's not something you can be proud of. This is not an erection you wouldn't want to have or else, you will be at risk of not being able to produce erections in the future. Men who are suffering from priaprism should seek immediate medical attention as this can lead to damage of penile tissues and ultimately to erectile dysfunction.

I believe men should be educated about this side of their sexual health as well as how concerned they are with producing longer erections for a satisfying sexual encounter. Like they say, too much of everything, even with erections, can be dangerous.
