LONDON (CBS Atlanta) – A cyclist needed medical intervention at an Irish hospital because an injury he suffered caused his penis to remain erect for nearly two months.
The unnamed bicyclist sustained an injury on the crossbar of his mountain bike that interfered with the blood flow to his penis.
A medical report quoted in the Irish Examiner said the biker’s pain and bruising settled within days, but that he sustained ongoing “high-flow” priapism “with rigid erection”.
After suffering in silence for five weeks, he finally sought medical attention.
A hospital report said the initial examination “revealed no signs of injury, but penis was erect”.
Doctors first tried “manual compression” which would work for a short time, but then the penis would become erect again.
Then they applied a pressure dressing that was in place for two weeks. But once the pressure was removed there was an immediate return of the erection.
Finally doctors inserted gel foam and four tiny platinum coils at an abnormal connection between an artery and a vein that supplied blood to the man’s penis.
This successfully reduced the blood supply to the penis, ending the erection.
One of the medical technicians said, “We were very happy with the outcome.”
The CDC notes that bicycle parts manufacturers are developing saddles that ease pressure on the genitals.
Ping to self for later reading.
Or a pic of Hillary.
Not to throw cold water on it, but the last sentence about the CDC is the result of prostate problems, including cancer, caused by long term rigorous biking.
“If it lasts more than four hours, forget calling the Doctor, I’m calling EVERYBODY!”
Doctors first tried “manual compression” ...
I prefer a hot nurse do this...
he’s supposed to call his doctor after 4 hours, isn’t he?
Mayonnaise head LOL
One of the medical technicians said, “We were very happy with the outcome.”
And a happy ending for all!
7 week erection? Wow. He must have gone into rut.
(Deer hunters will get it)
You have to stand on your head to hit the potty.
Yet another cycling accident requires surgery.
“We were very happy with the outcome.”
As was his wife.

Seriously, this is not unheard of in medical circles.
Really? You know its about lunch time in the Eastern Time zone, right?
if he’s Irish, he probably doesn’t have a wife, but lives with his mom.
probably has a girlfriend, who is probably married, though.
i love how he endured this for five weeks silently. when it comes to things sexual, the Irish still haven’t changed since the olden days...
The guy probably needed a raincoat to go to the john.
Surprised they didn’t mention the $20,000 credit card bill from Lotus Blossom Spa.
But top men are on it.
Top Men.
“4 hours? I’m calling EVERYBODY!”
Looks like hard problem to beat.......
