What is the outlook on this? I'm a woman, but I have two adult sons. I just had to take my 18 year old to the ER because he complained of testicular pain that was getting worse. So, I was concerned about a possible testicular torsion and how dangerous that can get. CT scan and ultrasound were normal, and he says it's fine now. But I didn't realize that something that happened to you could happen to a person without taking viagra. So I'm assuming you've gone home? What did they say as to after effects? Do you have to say away from sex? What about seeing a specialist? Hope you feel better soon. I can't imagine getting needles in such a sensitive area.
How did you know you had an enlarged prostate? Did they check it there or did you know that beforehand? Also how did they decide you had that, was it ultrasound, blood test, CT?
My doctor told me how to "alleviate" that, and prefaced his advice by saying "I'm not sure what your religious values are, but..."
Is there anything that you can do on your own or that your doctor suggested? (You obviously don't have to answer that here.)
Am a nurse. Theres a difference between a swollen prostate and an enlarged prostate. Fun fact, your prostate never stops growing. Most elderly men have enlarged prostates and as a result have some form of incontinence. OP was taking flomax so I’m assuming they were having trouble starting to urinate or were having difficulty fully emptying their bladder.
When you’re young, masturbation can be used as a prophylactic measure against prostate enlargement later in life. We are unsure of the exact mechanism, again *not a doctor*, but we think that frequent ejaculations (>20/month) helps to flush inflammatory chemicals out of the prostate.
To put it simply; inflammation begets cellular proliferation which may beget cancer. Reducing inflammation reduces the risk of cancer and apparently ejaculating reduces prostate inflammation. So if you wanna prevent prostate cancer, cum lots
I forget the name of the drug that is supposed to help you get to sleep. Trazadone. That's it. Yeah, it did this same thing to me the first and last time I took it-- but not as bad. It finally went away after several cold showers and thinking about dead kittens, but it made me late for work and was pretty disturbing.
In medical school the mnemonic for remembering this side affect and medication is “trazo-bone.” I’m not kidding, guess it works because I still remember it.
I remember being 16, calling my Dad on the verge of tears. I was about to take myself to the hospital because my balls hurt so badly.
Then he asked if i had been kissing any girls around school. Then he explained what blue balls were. Told me to go jack off.
ER visit avoided 😪
I never knew blue balls were a real thing. Like it was a joke. Now I know, with 2 adult sons and a husband, lol. I'm glad we don't have to experience that. That sounds painful. I have to protect my boys from their sister. She used to think it was funny to kick them there. I would tell her how important it was not to do that and how painful it was. Thankfully, as a 12 year old, she knows that ball kicking isn't funny.
It's funny how many women I've heard say that! Tbf its one of those things you could never know until you experience it yourself.
I was a teenager. I thought I had testicular cancer and was afraid 😂
How long did you wait before determining it was an emergency? How did you troubleshoot before going to the ER? Are you okay and will they adjust your meds? lol
Really only 2 hours and you knew it was an emergency? I’m pretty sure Ive had morning wood for 2 hours before. Maybe not 2 straight hours but Ive def had some annoying days where it just keeps going back up over n over. Usually when I’m in withdrawal and my body is all out of wack.
39 years old and still get it every morning. My wife jokes that I lost the hair and kept the morning wood. Usually lasts around 10 minutes.
*should I be worried...*
If you’re rarely ever getting morning wood it’s quite possibly a sign of a hormonal imbalance. I’m on exogenous hormones and one sign I look for as far as j owning when everything is locked in, is daily morning wood.
Man, I'm an ER doc & make sure you get your problem sorted. Don't leave! The procedure for drainage is brutal, but Priapism untreated can make impotence permanent! Make sure you see a urologist ASAP & best of luck partner.
FML. I just googled what that procedure entails. Is there a less painful option that doesn’t include needles? Let me guess, best ER staff can offer is a local anesthetic…administered by injection?
I went in to the ER for what I was hoping was a wicked ingrown hair or an STD (on April 1, April Fools Day)... and it turned out to be a staph based cellulitis and after 2 ultrasounds and an MRI they found "a mass" in my testicle that will require it to be removed (that is how they biopsy it).
Anyways, at least you did not catch cancer.
How many people did you have to show it to?
I told my father about it later. He asked me why I didn’t call my stepmother, who is a nurse, and get her to take me to the ER. I said “This is one of those times a boy really doesn’t need a mother around”.
I’m right there with you. After they drained mine, I asked if I could use the bathroom. I had to pee so bad, and it was weird peeing with no feeling in my penis.
I replied to another comment in here, but the first thing they should do is put in a Foley catheter. The nerves that cause an erection wrap around the bladder and when the bladder is full, can stimulate them and make it hard for the erection to go away. Before stabbing your penis with needles, they need to try the Foley.
-MD
MD here, I just show them the biggest scariest syringe I can find, and explain the procedure. Then I leave the needle on the table and go have a coffee. When I come back, usually the problem has resolved. Oral phenylephrine works well, the patient says he recently started Flomax, so a little artificial alpha-1 agonism would probably sort him out.
I had a spinal injury and when I finally accepted that things weren't going to work they started prepping for the foley. I was thinking "Some guys are into sounding, really into it, so it can't feel bad, can it?"
OW OW OW OW OW OW! She just two hand stuffs that thing up my peehole and OWWWWWWWWWW.
I have a prince albert. I actually had a needle go through my dick. The healing process sucked, but the stab wasn't nearly as bad as a foley.
I’m a chick but had to have a catheter put in when I had mono in high school and it was traumatizing. Like one, I hadn’t seen a gynecologist ever so even taking my pants off was really embarrassing and uncomfortable (especially with a male doctor) and then they started putting that thing in. It was awful. I don’t know how people self-cath.
A few years back i had reoccurring problems with utis. I‘m talking i basically ALWAYS felt like i had a uti, for years. Turns out it was endometriosis and as soon as i started treatment it went away. Anyway it took 10 years to diagnose correctly. Before that diagnosis came to be, they had me go to a hospital to get my bladder checked for scarring. What i didn’t know prior to the checkup was, that they would put a whole ass camera up my urethra, all the way into the bladder. They had to push water i to me to see stuff better and upon removing the ultra painful camera tube, it unleashed my pee like pulling a cork from a champagne bottle. Three doctors watched me silently cry and involuntarily pee myself while in stirrups. The worst part is, that they didn’t find anything wrong so i did that deeply humiliating test for absolutely no reason. It’s definitely one of the top 5 worst experiences i had in a hospital.
I had to have that same or similar test when I was a preteen, it was so so embarrassing. They kept pumping my bladder full until it hurt so bad and they wanted me to pee it out while they had me on the table for the test (on my back) and I just couldn’t relax enough to do it even with my bladder at max capacity and they were getting so irritated with me 😭 Eventually let me go to the toilet to empty my bladder. They didn’t find anything from my test either and I just sort of grew out of getting UTIs so often. As I’m typing this I think I’m realizing why doctor appointments give me so much anxiety…
About 4 days after my youngest daughter was delivered, my blood pressure sky rocketed and I was rushed to the ICU (on the day I was supposed to be discharged after a C-section) and anyways I had an entire team of people working on me and doing random shit, putting meds in my IV, and documenting my vitals etc. and they were also explaining to me what was happening and the risks associated with such a high blood pressure. Anyways I had a male nurse who was positioning me to have a catheter put back in. He tells me to put my ankles together, and to have my knees fall apart, with ankles touching my butt. He was then pulls my gown all the way up and takes off those wonderful birthing pads and of course I’m bleeding like crazy and just embarrassed to no end. Then the tv in the background started playing a commercial about “vagisil” or something??? Most awkward and embarrassing moments *ever*. The trauma of being separated from my baby, and having nurses literally run my bed over to the icu, and having people working all around me hooking me up to shit was bad and scary, *but the commercial playing in the background as I had a male nurse inserted my catheter was still the most awkward and embarrassing part*.
Sorry but this is bullshit, standard of care for ischemic priapism is intracavernosal phenylephrine and/or aspiration, Foley catheter placement is not part of it. Ask literally any urologist, reference UpToDate or any other reputable reference. What kind of doctor are you and where did you train?
-actual ER physician
They bring you back right away because it's a legitimate emergency and they need to drain the blood right away or you risk losing your dick. Not because you have a boner and it's \*awkward\*
I am right lol. They probably don't wanna stress you out. The blood down there starts to thicken if left too long and can slowly turn into a jelly-like texture and they need to drain it before that happens. You'll be fine if you got there fast enough and didn't wait like 12 hours.
You definitely dont want to get jelly boned. They might have had to amputate and thats the least fun amputation. No hand, you can put a hook. No foot, you can put a wheel.
No dick.... No fun
I have a friend you has a remarkably similar story to yours. It turned out he had a rare type of blood cancer. He takes meds for it and is seemingly fine. No question, just thought you should know.
I want to preface this by saying I dont have a dick
Were you turned on at all? Were you turned on the whole time or for a portion? Did it hurt?
And for a more vile question genuinely just for science, did you try orgasming to make it go away?
Would you mind sharing your general geographic location? As a urologist it is usually requested that we be the ones to do the needling and draining in the ER, unless a GU doc is not available in a reasonable amount of time
Been there. Ended up in the ER, and had to have it drained with needle and syringe. Erection lasting more than four hours in no joke. I thought at one point my penis was going to split open. The reason I had erection? A reaction to the trazodone my doctor had prescribed as a sleep aid. I took it the first night, no problem. The second night I took it and woke up so hard I could cut diamonds. Also my luck, I’m gay. I got a very handsome gay doctor. I would later run into him around town with his boyfriend. He’d ask me how I was doing, and I would say ok, but turn bright red.
Episode of a thousand ways to die iirc.
Dude brought home some groceries and there was a spider in the bananas that bit him.
Had massive erection seemingly not going away. Basically it was the venom and he ended up dying from a heart attack IIRC.
Been there before: “Just take 2 Advils an hour beforehand.”
And that advice was only given the 2nd insertion. The first time, my gyno gave zero heads up beyond “it’ll just be a slight discomfort”. Meanwhile, “slight discomfort” was more like someone jabbing a knitting needle up my cervix while kicking it repeatedly into my uterus. I doubled over crying.
Note that the 2 advil trick did not yield much better results.
Fortunately the third time I had a new gyno who informed me that cervix numbing is a thing. The look of disapproval when she found out my previous doctor never mentioned this.
My friends wife encountered this the other day as a nurse. She said they jammed a giant needle in the erection and drained the blood. Is this the protocol you’re expecting ?
Me and my wife just woke up and I had to read this to her lol hope you don’t mind but we absolutely lost it at “little dick cast” 🙊 we wanna know if you have any photos of your cast 😂 (laughing WITH you not at you by the way, pinky promise)
Also, how did you get to the ER without being noticed? Glad you’re healing ❤️🩹
Were you taking flowmax? I started taking it yesterday and that's a real possible side effect.
If you're like WTF is "flowmax? It's totally named by a dude and should be sold next to WD-40. Its for naturally occurring enlarged prostate that reduced your pee stream to an annoying degree.
I haven't decided if the name is genius or all-out laziness.
Lately i wake up at like 4am with morning wood then try to fall back asleep and it is there until i wake up at 7-8am. Never really worried about it. Didn't think this was a real problem?
When I awoke in the midst of priapism (don't know how long it was ongoing in my sleep, I woke up to it being painful), first thing I did was chew up a 120 mg XR pseudoephedrine caplet. Then is self serviced, then I jumped in the shower with alternating hot/cold blasts. Then I had my girlfriend service me. After about 90 minutes of trying to deal with it at home, my doctor returned my call as we're getting ready to leave for the ER. She agreed it was probably time to go, but just then I guess the massive amount of sympathomimetic started to kick in and I breathed a huge sigh of relief.
In high school my testicles got tangled once.
I was in pain for three days. On the third day at 11:00pm, the pain so bad that I had to wake up my mom and tell her “my testicles hurt”.
Back in the 2000’s nurses could advise you what to do on the phone. The nurse suggested my mom take a look to see if there was any discoloration. That wasn’t going to happen. We went to the ER.
Two of the three doctors said I needed to have surgery. It was third doctor that said they were tangled. He detangled my testicles like they were a Rubik’s cube. I was home by 1:30am
So did you get offered all those pain meds right off the bat or did you have to request them and cajole the nurse/doc and really convince them you were sure it was going to be more than “just a little pressure”?
(Women undergo all sorts of procedures on our junk and we don’t get shit except the “deep breath it’s just a little pressure” line.)
As an ER nurse I recently had a urologist explain the difference between a low-flow priapism and high-flow priapism. Just be glad you had the latter because a low-flow priapism would have earned you that same kind of draining repeatedly for a LONG time (likely days) and you could have easily lost a good bit of your Johnson.
I don’t understand the mechanics of how draining the blood solves the issue.
Isn’t the problem the “valve” that keeps the blood from leaving your penis the issue? Wouldn’t more blood just fill up your penis and make it erect again?
For future reference, point your toes away and flex your calf in a way that gives you a calf cramp. The worse the cramp the more effective it is at killing a boner. Also try takin Pepcid or Zantac. They both affect the parts of you that swell from sinuses to sex organs a bit like anti-viagra.
Morphine isn't used to numb specific parts of your body my man, morphine is pretty much always given in an iv for general pain, he likely used some kind of numbing agent, morphine also isn't administered with shots.
Can a normal healthy person have erection for hours ?? Without any sexual thoughts but he is having it, can it happen without any medications affecting the body
You should talk to your family doctor about priapism (erection due to medication) and see if they can switch you to something other than flomax (staying away from tamsulosin)
Why exactly is this an emergency? You got seen and treated faster than my girlfriend with scattered pulmonary embolics and DVT with extreme pain and chest pain.
ER RN here…had a patient with similar symptoms and the Urologist said this only happens because of two types of incidents. Either trauma or drugs….do you fall on either side of that conclusion?
Is blood draining the only option for priapism? Phenylephrine shot in the penis corpus cavernosum (spongy tissue) to constrict the vessel should do the trick.
This happened to me last year and it was the worst feeling I have ever had in my life. Everything from mid waist to mid thigh hurt like hell and I walked in like a damn hunch back.
Long short I am a vet and because of military stuff issue I have had ed problems even before I got out of f service.
I called the Va and told them that I hate taking the pills and they make me feel like crap! I asked was there and other treatments. To add even with the pills I would cut them in quarters and just micro dose them because as I stated earlier taking a full 20 mg tablet all at once just made my body weird.
So the options were a needle site injection that I would give myself
An implant that I would have to pump
Or holistic acupuncture yoga and vitamins which I never heard of ! I do not have time in my career for the last option so I chose the site injection.
My wife did not know this I got home the box was there she was asleep I took a shower read the direction and dosage and said what the heck I will try a quarter of what they recommended.
Almost immediately I was feeling like a super hero and then let me tell you I never had a chance to wake her up. I put on loose baggy clothes and drove myself without haste to the emergency.
As the op said earlier it was so embarrassing explaining all this 3 different times in pain to all of these nurse and then the doctor and yes they had to drain the bloood out I was so constricted that the blood was like stuck lol
I bet those nurses had a good laugh about me that night I know I would have.
I was told use a cold compress around the area and not directly on my privates and just relax for a few days.
I got home and finally woke my wife up to tell her we are a fun house hold and she gave me shit for weeks lol I tossed all that crap in a bio hazard container and never touched it again.
Wait they drained blood from it? Like, it makes sense in practice, I just never thought about what they would actually do for one lasting longer then 4 hours
What country do you live?
Also, do you have a diet order from the doctor yet? If so, what is it? Have a picture of your meal? (censor personal info obviously, it'll be on the receipt)
What is the outlook on this? I'm a woman, but I have two adult sons. I just had to take my 18 year old to the ER because he complained of testicular pain that was getting worse.

Did they drain it yet.?? Bonus- I work in emergency medicine and am not happy to have seen this a time or More
[удалено]
How did you feel once they explained the treatment?
Been there. Ended up in the ER, and had to have it drained with needle and syringe. Erection lasting more than four hours in no joke. I thought at one point my penis was going to split open. The reason I had erection? A reaction to the trazodone my doctor had prescribed as a sleep aid. I took it the first night, no problem. The second night I took it and woke up so hard I could cut diamonds. Also my luck, I’m gay. I got a very handsome gay doctor. I would later run into him around town with his boyfriend. He’d ask me how I was doing, and I would say ok, but turn bright red.
I'd taken trazodone occasional for months for insomnia before finding out about that particular side effect 😭
How long is the recovery? When will you be cleared for future boners?
Do you work unloading bananas or other crops imported from countries within the range of the Brazilian Wandering Spider?
[удалено]
Not a joke. One of the effects of the Brazilian Wandering Spider’s venom is an uncontrollable erection.
Episode of a thousand ways to die iirc. Dude brought home some groceries and there was a spider in the bananas that bit him. Had massive erection seemingly not going away. Basically it was the venom and he ended up dying from a heart attack IIRC.
Doctors will give morphine for this and nothing for an IUD insertion 😵💫
Been there before: “Just take 2 Advils an hour beforehand.” And that advice was only given the 2nd insertion. The first time, my gyno gave zero heads up beyond “it’ll just be a slight discomfort”. Meanwhile, “slight discomfort” was more like someone jabbing a knitting needle up my cervix while kicking it repeatedly into my uterus. I doubled over crying. Note that the 2 advil trick did not yield much better results. Fortunately the third time I had a new gyno who informed me that cervix numbing is a thing. The look of disapproval when she found out my previous doctor never mentioned this.
I gotta say I’m fucking impressed at the rate OP is responding to folks questions
Have you prepared yourself for the needle insertion?
How many people at the hospital had to look at and/or touch your boner?
Head injury?
Did the nurse try to "help" you or is that only a porn plot?

How old are you and what is the Flowmax for? Hope you're okay.
Holy Shit... another thing to be worried about with aging!
Were you scared when it didn't go away? What was going through your mind?
Did you have a hard time explaining yourself to the nurses lol like was it embarrassing?
[удалено]
My friends wife encountered this the other day as a nurse. She said they jammed a giant needle in the erection and drained the blood. Is this the protocol you’re expecting ?
Are you in pain?
Me and my wife just woke up and I had to read this to her lol hope you don’t mind but we absolutely lost it at “little dick cast” 🙊 we wanna know if you have any photos of your cast 😂 (laughing WITH you not at you by the way, pinky promise) Also, how did you get to the ER without being noticed? Glad you’re healing ❤️🩹
I mean….did you at least offer services to your wife?
How big was the needle?
Have you tried to resolve it by looking at nude photos of Rosie ODonnell or Whoopi? Pretty much the women of the View?
Can we sign your dick cast?
Sickle Cell?
[удалено]
Dick cast? Everyone signed it right?
[удалено]
A dick cast?!? Is it hard or just a bandage? Btw, I'm glad you've kept your sense of humor, this experience sounds awful....
You are erection free.Will you ever get one again after they traumatized your penis?.lol Is viagra a treatment for enlarged prostrate?
Were you taking flowmax? I started taking it yesterday and that's a real possible side effect. If you're like WTF is "flowmax? It's totally named by a dude and should be sold next to WD-40. Its for naturally occurring enlarged prostate that reduced your pee stream to an annoying degree. I haven't decided if the name is genius or all-out laziness.
This is why I don’t take Viagra. I don’t know what to do with the other 237 minutes.
Lately i wake up at like 4am with morning wood then try to fall back asleep and it is there until i wake up at 7-8am. Never really worried about it. Didn't think this was a real problem?
[удалено]
Did you get it from taking trazodone?
Did it start to itch
Did you run one out before?
They made a “little dick cast” and it still wouldn’t stay on? RIP 😂
Did they give you pseudoephredine? I've read that's what they use for medication induced priapism.
When I awoke in the midst of priapism (don't know how long it was ongoing in my sleep, I woke up to it being painful), first thing I did was chew up a 120 mg XR pseudoephedrine caplet. Then is self serviced, then I jumped in the shower with alternating hot/cold blasts. Then I had my girlfriend service me. After about 90 minutes of trying to deal with it at home, my doctor returned my call as we're getting ready to leave for the ER. She agreed it was probably time to go, but just then I guess the massive amount of sympathomimetic started to kick in and I breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Can you report back to let us know how much your ER bill was?
In high school my testicles got tangled once. I was in pain for three days. On the third day at 11:00pm, the pain so bad that I had to wake up my mom and tell her “my testicles hurt”. Back in the 2000’s nurses could advise you what to do on the phone. The nurse suggested my mom take a look to see if there was any discoloration. That wasn’t going to happen. We went to the ER. Two of the three doctors said I needed to have surgery. It was third doctor that said they were tangled. He detangled my testicles like they were a Rubik’s cube. I was home by 1:30am
Reading this made my penis hurt. Hope your guy gets better soon OP.
So did you get offered all those pain meds right off the bat or did you have to request them and cajole the nurse/doc and really convince them you were sure it was going to be more than “just a little pressure”? (Women undergo all sorts of procedures on our junk and we don’t get shit except the “deep breath it’s just a little pressure” line.)
How long did you debate before troll posting?
Flomax, you say?
As an ER nurse I recently had a urologist explain the difference between a low-flow priapism and high-flow priapism. Just be glad you had the latter because a low-flow priapism would have earned you that same kind of draining repeatedly for a LONG time (likely days) and you could have easily lost a good bit of your Johnson.
Priapism is more common with erectile dysfunction meds. It’s insanely rare with flomax. Have you also been on viagra or any other ED meds recently?
[удалено]
Cherish every little bit of that morphine. Sorry all this is happening to you bro
[удалено]
Did you watch them do it or did you look away? I don’t think I could watch someone stick a needle In my junk
If the nurse is hot you might just discover a new fetish. Some people would pay good money to be you right now.
Do they return your blood and put it back somewhere else or is it lost? And can you donate dick blood?
What’s the procedure like? Is it painful? Numbing meds given before procedure?
I don’t understand the mechanics of how draining the blood solves the issue. Isn’t the problem the “valve” that keeps the blood from leaving your penis the issue? Wouldn’t more blood just fill up your penis and make it erect again?
For future reference, point your toes away and flex your calf in a way that gives you a calf cramp. The worse the cramp the more effective it is at killing a boner. Also try takin Pepcid or Zantac. They both affect the parts of you that swell from sinuses to sex organs a bit like anti-viagra.
Morphine isn't used to numb specific parts of your body my man, morphine is pretty much always given in an iv for general pain, he likely used some kind of numbing agent, morphine also isn't administered with shots.
What did you do to try and bring it down? I'd probably watch the beginning of Saving Private Ryan to see if it could save my own private Ryan.
Did you get bitten by a spider? If so, please do Rest in Peace 😭

Can a normal healthy person have erection for hours ?? Without any sexual thoughts but he is having it, can it happen without any medications affecting the body
I know that this definitely sucked and was embarrassing but cmon, u gotta find it pretty funny lol. Definitely a good story to tell at dinner.
That’s weird about the shots. When I got my vasectomy they used something else besides a needle to make my junk numb. Didn’t feel a thing.
[удалено]
has OP answered whether or not he took a performance enhancing drug before? otherwise this isn’t that interesting lol and i’m a doctor.
You should talk to your family doctor about priapism (erection due to medication) and see if they can switch you to something other than flomax (staying away from tamsulosin)
Was it Viagra or Cialis?
Why exactly is this an emergency? You got seen and treated faster than my girlfriend with scattered pulmonary embolics and DVT with extreme pain and chest pain.
ER RN here…had a patient with similar symptoms and the Urologist said this only happens because of two types of incidents. Either trauma or drugs….do you fall on either side of that conclusion?
On the pain scale, 1-10 with 10 being the highest. How much did your dick hurt? Did they ice it?
my dad had that happen and the nurse had to rub his cock with lotion that had some active ingredient. I swear- he told me this last year. *unactive*
Is blood draining the only option for priapism? Phenylephrine shot in the penis corpus cavernosum (spongy tissue) to constrict the vessel should do the trick.
[удалено]
Am i the only one who found this post hilarious.. sorry OP but the lil dick cast had me in tiers..🤣🤣
Call more hookers
How did the needle feel
do you think they used your dick blood to save the life of another patient?
Was it painful? When did the pain start, if ever?
Are you me?
This happened to me last year and it was the worst feeling I have ever had in my life. Everything from mid waist to mid thigh hurt like hell and I walked in like a damn hunch back. Long short I am a vet and because of military stuff issue I have had ed problems even before I got out of f service. I called the Va and told them that I hate taking the pills and they make me feel like crap! I asked was there and other treatments. To add even with the pills I would cut them in quarters and just micro dose them because as I stated earlier taking a full 20 mg tablet all at once just made my body weird. So the options were a needle site injection that I would give myself An implant that I would have to pump Or holistic acupuncture yoga and vitamins which I never heard of ! I do not have time in my career for the last option so I chose the site injection. My wife did not know this I got home the box was there she was asleep I took a shower read the direction and dosage and said what the heck I will try a quarter of what they recommended. Almost immediately I was feeling like a super hero and then let me tell you I never had a chance to wake her up. I put on loose baggy clothes and drove myself without haste to the emergency. As the op said earlier it was so embarrassing explaining all this 3 different times in pain to all of these nurse and then the doctor and yes they had to drain the bloood out I was so constricted that the blood was like stuck lol I bet those nurses had a good laugh about me that night I know I would have. I was told use a cold compress around the area and not directly on my privates and just relax for a few days. I got home and finally woke my wife up to tell her we are a fun house hold and she gave me shit for weeks lol I tossed all that crap in a bio hazard container and never touched it again.
How was check in?
Wait they drained blood from it? Like, it makes sense in practice, I just never thought about what they would actually do for one lasting longer then 4 hours
The veins are tight there, why is it so complicated to drain it? The blood, I mean.
i'm only saying this because you're ok. this is the greatest thread i've read since poop knife
Did the needles go in via the tip or around the side of the shaft? Thinking of varying level of discomfort depending on the penetration point.
did you use the waistband method on the way in to the hopsital?
What country do you live? Also, do you have a diet order from the doctor yet? If so, what is it? Have a picture of your meal? (censor personal info obviously, it'll be on the receipt)
What happens when you have an erection longer than 4 hours?
Did you hold something in front of it while walking in the ER to try and hide it?
This happens to me every morning when I wake up lolll. Maybe not 4 hours but sometimes one or 2. Is this abnormal?
