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.
She undoubtedly is prettier dead.
“This successfully reduced the blood supply to the penis, ending the erection.”
Ahhhh. . .the question remains. . .will he never get another ‘woody?”
. . . and will he want to. . . ?
She needed plastic surgery to remove the smile.

That’s not an injury, it’s an improvement.
Why I got a recumbent bicycle, was tired of numb wrists and numb crotch.
Is it true that a mountain bike helps your moutin’?
If this man had leprosy, they would send him to a leper colony.
Did they try sending him to a penal colony?
That’s not a bug, that’s a feature.
I (don’t) hate when that happens!
‘Hillary could cure that in a heartbeat.’
Isn’t that called Hillariapism ?
That line was my inspiration.
Which is weird, because you never bicycled before....
