What are the harmful effects of having an erection for a long time on the body?

Prolonged erection may cause damage to the corpus cavernosum, prostate disease, and penile necrosis. Reasonable treatment is recommended.

Once the corpus cavernosum continues to be erect and congested, it is easy to cause fibrosis of the corpus cavernosum, causing damage to the corpus cavernosum and affecting future erections.

Prolonged erection may also induce prostate diseases, such as prostatitis.

If the erection lasts too long and blood remains locally for a long time, it may cause penile necrosis and lead to penile erectile dysfunction in the future.

If the patient experiences persistent penile erection, he should go to the hospital for targeted examination in time to identify the cause and then provide symptomatic treatment.
