<\/p>\n
A red-faced man landed himself in hospital following a three-day erection.<\/p>\n
The 46-year-old man swallowed several erectile dysfunction tablets in one go.<\/p>\n
After failing to go soft, he finally sought medical help three days later.<\/p>\n
He was admitted to an urgent care center in Jo\u00e3o Pessoa, north-eastern Brazil, with \u201cintense pain\u201d in his genital region.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Due to the severity of his condition, he had to be transferred by ambulance to the city\u2019s Trauma Hospital on Sunday (15 Oct).<\/p>\n
Images show the man being taken from the ambulance in a wheelchair hooked up to a drip.<\/p>\n
At the hospital, surgeons made a puncture at the base of his penis and drained the organ.<\/p>\n
After his condition was stabilized, he was discharged from the facility around 5am on Monday (16 Oct).<\/p>\n
Urologist, Andr\u00e9 Brasileiro told local media: \u201cLike any drug, it needs to be used under medical guidance.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a bad habit in the population of self-medication, and a situation like this is a consequence of that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brasileiro explained how the man\u2019s overdose had caused him to have a low-flow priapism, which happens when blood remains in the erection chambers and cannot escape.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cWhen we talk about specific medication-related causes, such as the use in higher doses than usual, what happens is that for an erection to occur, the penile cavernous bodies need to relax and allow blood to enter.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen the patient took a higher-than-usual dosel, relaxation happened excessively, and the blood that entered the cavernous bodies did not return to circulation, maintaining the erection, which over time becomes very painful.\u201d<\/p>\n
Experts say common side effects of such drugs include headaches, nausea, flushing, indigestion, a stuffy nose, and feeling dizzy.<\/p>\n
