A member asked:
I'm 23 years old; had a discectomy on my l5 - s1. is it normal to have a partial to full erection for a few days after the procedure? can't control it

See Doc soon ...: If your penile erection has persisted for a few days, you have developed so-called priapism, which requires urgent attention to sort out what might have caused it, such as some drugs affecting central nerve system. Surgery itself very unlikely causes persistent erection. More detail? Ask urologist...
