What are the reasons for abnormal penile erection

Patient's question:

I don't know what's wrong recently, my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. What are the reasons that can cause abnormal penile erection?

Doctor's answer:

The causes of penile abnormal erection can be divided into primary and secondary categories. The primary causes of penile abnormal erection include the following four types of secondary causes:
  A. Neurological: Caused by spinal nerve or nerve lesions surrounding the genital area, such as spinal cord trauma, neurosyphilis, etc.
  B. Mechanical: Caused by late-stage pelvic tumors, infiltration, compression, persistent external force (e.g., metal rings) compressing the base of the penis, or local penile trauma.
  C. Hematological: Leukemia, true polycythemia, sickle cell anemia, thrombophlebitis, phosphoglucoisomerase deficiency, etc.
  D. Medication-related: Thiazide drugs, testosterone
