What is priapism? Why there is a constant erection

Do you know what priapism is? According to the source, the man was hospitalized with a three-day erection and a diagnosis of priapism after taking Viagra intended for bulls.

Hard riser When it can become a serious problem

In the Mexican city of Veracruz, a young man, whose name has not been released, reportedly took a sexual stimulant while planning a romantic date. It turned out to be a powerful Viagra-like drug used by farmers to excite bulls to inseminate cows. It was he who caused the guy an unshakable erection for three days.

Apparently, the young man did not take seriously the possible consequences of such a rash step, wanting to show himself as a cool macho in front of his girlfriend, but his arrogance let him down.

Ultimately, he was forced to urgently seek medical help. According to local newspapers, the man needed emergency surgery to save his manhood.

The doctors who operated on him said: "The guy took a sexual stimulant bought in Veracruz, which farmers in the region use to stimulate bulls when inseminating cattle."

This is not the first time that someone has experienced priapism after experimenting with sexual agents.

Last year, a Briton was hospitalized in agony after taking an overdose of Viagra to impress a girl.

In another case, Swansea jazz singer Danny Polaris suffered from an erection for two weeks, and doctors had to fight to save his penis, when the count was literally hours and minutes.

And yet another Englishman was warned by doctors that his male power could fade after suffering a similar problem caused by a rare reaction of the reproductive system to the abolition of painkillers.
