Rarely during the contraction of this disease, the patient suffered an erection which lasted for 18 hours non-stop. The cause of this unfortunate situation is due to arterial priapism which according to urofrance.org
“gives a penile erection, persisting for more than 4 hours, outside of any sexual stimulation”.
“For approximately 18 hours, the patient had a mild, non-painful and persistent erection, which occurred spontaneously without any sexual stimulation, without any notion of trauma or any triggering factor motivating the healthcare team to take a urological opinion,” explain the doctors.
