Question?: First- how many Cialis tablets did you take? Second- priapism refers to a painful, sustained erection and if in fact, it lasted for 5 days (??)-you would no longer have a penis. The numbness requires examination and certainly abstaining sexually for at least 10 days. ....( sure you can!) I suggest a urology consultation.

See a doctor: If you have priapism you should seek medical treatment treatment immediately. failure to treat and reduce erection can lead to complications such as permanent damage to the penis
