A 41-year-old man was left with a painful erection for 36 hours after he stopped taking painkillers.

Elliott Rossiter, from Bristol, was in such extreme pain that he needed to have surgery to sort the problem out.

It all began back in October 2016 when Elliott took a trip over to France to visit an old school friend, Jenny.

Whilst staying over in Nice with his friend, Elliott was also recovering from an addiction to painkillers. He'd been taking morphine sulphate, oxycodone, and codeine for around four years after a skiing accident.

However, during his stay in France, he claims that he 'just got an erection' which then wouldn't subside.

Rossiter said: "We were all just sat around and it just came on. I tried to get rid of it but couldn't.

"I just got an erection. It wasn't sexual in any way at all and I wasn't feeling aroused.

"I've never had a problem like this before, maybe it was because I was surrounded by so much female energy.

"I had to tell Jenny but it was really embarrassing. It was much bigger than a normal erection.

"I had only been there for about 90 minutes and it just appeared. I tried to relieve myself in the usual way but I couldn't get rid of it."

That continued for 19 hours. Eventually, he had to go to the doctors. The GP in France gave him two injections aimed at getting his erection to go away, but it soon became clear that he'd need hospital treatment.

Professionals at the Hospital Pasteur diagnosed him with a priapism, which can sometimes occur when men take medicines.

If left untreated it can be incredibly dangerous as no oxygen gets to the penis, meaning it can begin to destroy or damage the tissue.

The treatment isn't pleasant either.

The blood pools in the muscle, meaning that a small hole must be drilled so that the penis can be drained.

That left Elliott 'terrified'. Quite understandably, too.

Luckily, the surgery was a success and - apart from two small scars - his penis is back in action as normal.

However, he's been left 'scared to death' to get an erection, in case it won't go away again.

He continued: "I was terrified to get one to begin with. I was definitely scared.

"But I was so relieved when I found out it was working as it should.

"I have never experienced anything like it and I don't want to ever again."

We hear you, Elliott.

What are the possible Treatment of Priapism?
What is Priapism

Priapism is often a prolonged erection of this penis. The unwanted, persistent erection isn’t due to sexual stimulation or arousal, and priapism is frequently painful.
Priapism is an uncommon condition that really needs immediate medical attention. Prompt treatment for priapism is frequently needed to prevent tissue damage that could result in the inability to obtain or maintain an erection (erectile dysfunction).

Priapism is most usual between ages 5 and also 10 in boys and also ages 20 and 50 within men.

What are the Symptoms of Priapism?

Priapism symptoms may vary depending on the type of priapism. You can find two main types: ischemic and also nonischemic priapism.

Ischemic priapism

Ischemic, also called low-flow, priapism is the effect of blood not being competent to leave the penis. It’s the more common type of priapism. Signs and symptoms include:
  • Unwanted erection lasting a lot more than four hours
  • Unwanted erection on / off for several hours (stuttering priapism)
  • Rigorous penile shaft, but typically soft tip of male member (glans)
  • Usually painful or tender penis

Treatment of Priapism

Nonischemic priapism

Nonischemic, or high-flow, priapism occurs when too much blood flows into this penis. Nonischemic priapism is frequently painless. Signs and symptoms include:
  • Unwanted erection lasting at the least four hours
  • Erect and not rigid penile shaft
Causes of Priapism

Blood disorders
Blood-related diseases may contribute to priapism — usually ischemic priapism, when blood isn’t being able to flow out of the penis. These disorders include:
  • Sickle cell anemia
  • Leukemia
  • Blood clots
Sickle cell anemia is the most common cause of priapism in boys. Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disorder characterized by abnormally shaped red blood cells. These abnormally shaped cells can block the flow of blood.

Personal injury

A common cause associated with nonischemic priapism — a persistent erection caused by excessive blood flow in the penis — is trauma or injury to your genitals, pelvis or perhaps the perineum, the region involving the base of the penis and the anus.

Alcohol consumption and drug use

Misuse of prescription medications, and alcohol and drug use can cause priapism, specially ischemic priapism. Possible reasons include:
  • Recreational use of erection problems drugs
  • Drinking too very much alcohol
  • Use of illegal drugs for instance marijuana or cocaine
What is the prevention of Priapism?

Depending on the probable reason behind the priapism, ssteps to prevent recurrent priapism may include:
  • Treating the disease that may have caused priapism
  • Changing medications if the prescription medication was the particular probable cause
  • Avoiding invokes, such as alcohol or illegal drugs
  • Self-injection of phenylephrine to stop prolonged erections
Treatment of Priapism

Depending on the Type of priapism you have, there are so many treatment of Priapism, some of them are:

Ischemic priapism
Ischemic priapism — the effect of blood not being capable of exit the penis — is definitely an emergency situation that needs immediate treatment. This treatment usually begins with a mix of draining blood from the particular penis and using medicines.

Aspiration — after your penile is numbed with community anesthetic, excess blood is drained as a result, using a small filling device and syringe. As a part of this procedure, the penile veins can be flushed with a saline option. This treatment relieves soreness, removes oxygen-poor blood and could stop the erection. Laser hair removal may be repeated before the erection ends.

Nonischemic priapism

Nonischemic priapism often disappears altogether with no treatment. Because there’s no risk of damage to the penis, your doctor might suggest a watch-and-wait technique. Putting ice and pressure about the perineum — the region between the base of the penis as well as the anus — may support end the erection.
Surgery may be necessary in some instances to insert material that temporarily blocks the circulation of blood to the penis. The entire body eventually absorbs the substance. Surgery may also be required to repair arteries or tissue damage resulting from an harm.
If you suspect that you are experiencing priapism, you should NOT attempt to treat it yourself. Instead, seek emergency care as soon as possible. However If you have injured your genital area, and you have a painful and persistent erection, try holding an ice pack wrapped in a tea towel against your penis. Climbing up and down stairs may also help.
