What causes recurrent erections without sexual stimulation?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am having recurrent erections without any sexual stimulation, and my penis does not entirely go down or relax. It gets hard on its own, and it does not go down on its own. It started with a series of full erections but got reduced now. But it has not returned to normal. I want to know the cause of this problem and suggest a solution to it. Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If you are able to consult a urologist with a sonography device and Doppler function, the doctor needs to have a close look at the blood vessels of the penis. If there is stenosis or microembolism, it can cause these strange symptoms of partial and transient priapism with partial erectile dysfunction. Your bladder and prostate should be checked. Also, a biopsy should be done to make sure that there is no inflammation in the erectile tissue. If you are able to see basic health care, then the outlook is tough. You can have blood circulation bathing your penis in warm and cold water back and forth. You need to take Aspirin 100 mg a day in this condition. You can have a full-blown priapism, and it is a painful erection that does not go away for hours. The only option left in the basic health care is emergency amputation (penectomy) of the penis to avoid systemic damage. Penectomy is a simple procedure presenting two risks such as excessive blood loss if it is done properly and infection if it is not done hygienically. I hope and wish that you will never need a penectomy and the problem will disappear as quickly as it came to you.

I hope this helps.

Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.

Probable diagnosis

I suggest you have partial priapism followed by incomplete ED (erectile dysfunction).

Treatment plan

For treatment, I suggest the following: To avoid potential micro-embolism, you can take Aspirin 100 mg, one tablet for a day for twenty-one days. Follow all the above-mentioned measures.
