It all started because of falling off a scooter.

A man suffered an erection that lasted 9 consecutive days after having a minor car accident with his scooter.

You probably have so many questions right now, so let's start from the beginning.

This is a medical case whose documentation was published in the professional journal Case Reports in Urology, which, as its name implies, deals with case descriptions from the field of urology.

In the case report, doctors described the treatment of a 35-year-old British man who fell off his scooter and landed on his buttocks.

The fall caused him an injury in the perineum area (this is the area between the rectum and the genitals), which caused a bruise to appear there, but with no further visible injuries.

But then the young man developed a stubborn erection that did not calm down for long days (much longer days than what was considered a spin).

This probably caused him a great deal of embarrassment because it took him several days to muster the courage to go to the doctor and get help.

The patient reported "slight discomfort in walking", one can understand why.

"On examination, a grade 4 erection was identified with hardening of the body and base of the penis," the doctors wrote in the case report.

Grade 4 on the erection scale (yes, there is a scale, it turns out) is the highest grade and refers to a situation where the penis is "completely erect and hard".

Fortunately, the erection did not cause the patient pain, but he reported "slight discomfort while walking."

The half-full glass

Doctors took a blood sample from the area and sent it to a blood gas lab.

The results indicated a condition known as high-flow priapism - an erection caused by prolonged blood flow into the spongy tissue of the penis.

There is another type of priapism (ischemic priapism) that is considered dangerous because it is caused by a blockage of the oxygenated blood supply to the penile tissues.

In such a situation an emergency intervention is required because if it is not treated within a few hours it can cause irreversible damage to the penile tissues and even necrosis, and it is also very painful.

So despite the bad situation he got into, the glass was still half full in the case of this young man.

The priapism from which the young man suffered is the rarer version, and is most often caused by a blunt injury, as well as in this case where the fall and blow received by the young man during it are what provoked this reaction.

The doctors performed ultrasound and angiography on the patient using CT to locate the cause of priapism and identified damage to one of the arteries leading blood to the penis, which led to "a continuous flow of oxygenated blood to the penile tissue, leading to a non-ischemic erection," the doctors wrote.

In other words, as a result of falling from his moped right on his ass, blood began to flow uncontrollably to his penis.

This case was severe enough to warrant medical intervention.

Usually, the treatment of non-ischemic priapism is done in a rather conservative way - cooling the place with the help of glaciers, mechanically removing the pressure from the damaged blood vessels and sometimes it is enough to leave the patient under supervision until the matter resolves itself.

But in this case the doctors thought that there was still room for medical intervention, since the long duration of the erection could have already posed a risk to the patient's continued normal sexual function.

Doctors used a catheter to insert a gel-like, micro-coil-like foam into the affected artery, which artificially restricted blood flow to the penis, and the man was sent home for further recovery.

A follow-up examination performed on him about a year after the accident revealed that he was back to normal function.

The doctors wrote that the patient reported a gradual improvement in his erection function over the 12 months after the treatment he received, and that "the long-term follow-up examination performed on him showed that the erection function returned to normal after one year from the injury."
