Unless you\u2019ve already had COVID-19, it\u2019s pretty hard to know what to expect. Certain symptoms, like loss of taste and smell, aren\u2019t things that we\u2019re used to with the more common viruses like the cold and flu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This got me thinking, can COVID harm the penis?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After doing a bit of research, I found a report of a man who did suffer from COVID-induced manhood troubles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s his story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COVID Infection and a 4-Hour Erection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve ever seen a Viagra commercial, you\u2019re probably aware that a 4-hour long erection isn\u2019t good. Simply put, there is too much of a good thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A raging erection that lasts for hours is dangerous enough that it has a name: a priapism. A priapism is a medical condition that\u2019s both painful and dangerous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happens during risky hours-long erections is that blood becomes stuck in the penis. Because this blood doesn\u2019t leave, new blood isn\u2019t delivered to the penis…which means the tissues become starved of oxygen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a boner won\u2019t go down for this long, tissue damage can occur. In the worst cases, this damage means no more erections in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, when doctors noticed that a patient in the hospital with COVID-19 complications had an erection that wouldn\u2019t go down<\/a>, they were understandably concerned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The doctors had to use a needle to release the pressure from the penis. While this worked right away, it didn\u2019t mean the danger had passed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To fix the problem, doctors first had to understand why the man suffered from a priapism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What they found was that this prolonged erection was caused by blood clots…a COVID complication that doctors are seeing around the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only can blood clots lead to priapisms, but they can cause strokes or respiratory failure that result in death. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To treat the blood clots, doctors use blood thinners. But for some patients, doctors don\u2019t find the clotting in time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t know about you, but a needle in the penis doesn\u2019t sound like fun. The risk of priapism is just one more reason to wear a mask in social settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Keep Your Penis Healthy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most people will never experience a 4-hour long erection. But if you do, head to the hospital right away. The sooner you\u2019re treated, the better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And to keep your penis oxygenated on a regular basis, we recommend doing regular penis exercises. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stretches and exercises found in the Phalogenics male enhancement plan<\/a> boost penis oxygenation, which supports healthy penile tissue. Plus, you can add inches to your erect length at the same time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
