Answers:

This happens because blood flow into the penis is no longer balanced by the regulated blood exit from the penis. This is known as priapism and can be caused by a number of things including overuse of ED drugs like Viagra and Cialis, tumors of various types and blood clotting conditions just to name a few. You must be seen immediately if this happens because it can ultimately lead to loss of oxygenation of the erectile tissue and rather bad consequences for your penis.

Yes it even said so in the Viagra commercial I saw earlier.

---

If you have an erection that lasts more than 4 hours, don't call a doctor, call a prostitute.

---

Because you're penis is erect from the amount of blood going into it to fill the vessels inside. so in theory you're getting less blood everywhere else and that is bad because blood carries oxygen and nutrients through the body.

---

it's a blood circulation problem

---

You can blow out your kidneys if I'm not mistaken. Erections screw around with your blood pressure.

---

well it would hurt after a while won't it

---

You can be damaged and never get an erection again! They jab the thing with a needle, good luck.

---

Because the blood in you penis would not be circulating thus no oxygen.This can be casued by a blockage and can be very dangerous.The will give you blood 'thiners' if that dont work then they will use a needle to draw out the blood to relese pressure..Having a woody for that long has its benifits but can be deadly.

A priapism (an erection that lasts for an unwieldy period of time) should result in a visit to the doctor as such occurrences can damage the vascular system of the genitals and prevent future erections from occurring.

---

It's a condition called "priapism" and it can literally cost you your penis.

---

Because, the blood rushes & it cannot get back out, thus no circulation and oxigenation of tissue and that could lead to gangrene and tissue damage.

Bottom line is that you can potentially loose your member and something is seriously wrong and a medical profecional need to drain the blood.

It is definitely abnormal and needs consultation. You can wait if it is for the first time and settles! If recurrent, don't wait and see the doctor to check whether you are suffering from a malignant disease especially leukemia
