What is priapism?

A persistent, prolonged erection of the penis that will not go down is called priapism.

If it’s not treated within 24 hours your penis may be permanently damaged and you might have trouble getting an erection in future. If you have had an erection that has lasted more than 2 hours, you should go to the nearest emergency department for medical attention.
