Patient's question:
What are the clinical manifestations of abnormal penile erection? Is it painful, or what? How can one seek help in such a situation?Doctor's answer:
Penile abnormal erection is commonly seen in the age groups of 5~10 years and 20~50 years, generally involving only the corpora cavernosa. Most cases occur during nocturnal penile tumescence. In low-flow penile abnormal erection, if it persists for several hours, it can cause pain due to cerebral edema, resulting in a rigid erection. In high-flow penile abnormal erection, the penis rarely causes pain, and it cannot achieve full rigidity, often with a history of perineal or penile trauma.
