Dr. Francisco R. Rodriguez answered

Specializes in Urology

Erection: An erection that last more than 24 hours is called priapism and can lead to permanent damage to the erectile tissue of your penis leading to impotence. You need to see a urologist for a workup to rule conditions that may lead to priapism.
