Patient's question:
Hello, I haven't been feeling well recently. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with this condition: priapism, where the penis becomes erect while sleeping.Doctor's answer:
If you haven't experienced morning erections before, this might be related to the medication you are taking, but it could also be a normal morning erection. An abnormal erection is one that remains hard and does not soften at all. Based on your situation, it does not qualify as an abnormal erection; it is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, it is also related to the medication, so it is recommended to stop taking these medications. If the erection persists for a long time and you cannot make it soften on your own, you should go to the hospital immediately for follow-up treatment. There are many treatment methods for male sexual dysfunction, but since the symptoms of each patient are different, the treatment methods used will also vary. Therefore, it is advised that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as they notice the symptoms.
