Why is it still hard after ejaculation?

If you just have an erection without any discomfort, it is considered a normal physiological phenomenon. This means that your erectile function is better, which is a good phenomenon and does not require special treatment.

This phenomenon needs to be distinguished from abnormal penile erection. Abnormal penile erection refers to a state of sustained penile erection that is unrelated to sexual desire, generally lasting more than 4 hours. It often occurs suddenly for unknown reasons, or is common in special circumstances such as taking or injecting vasoactive drugs. It is an emergency in men's medicine. If similar situations occur, you need to go to the hospital for treatment in time. However, this reader's sustained erection occurred after sexual intercourse and ejaculation, and the duration was short. Therefore, the diagnosis of abnormal penile erection can be ruled out.

The main causes of abnormal penile erection

(1) Blood diseases. Such as sickle anemia, leukemia, erythrocytosis and thrombocytopenia. These diseases can cause blood sediment in the corpus cavernosum of the penis and lead to abnormal penile erection.

(2) Neurological diseases. Commonly seen in spinal cord injury or inflammation and brain stem lesions, it can also be seen in some patients after craniotomy where the central spinal cord is overexcited, leading to persistent penile erection.

(3) Mechanical lesions. Such as external injuries to the genitals and advanced pelvic tumors. These lesions can continuously compress the base of the penis, affecting blood circulation and causing erections to persist.

(4) Certain drugs. Drugs that can cause sustained penile erection include epinephrine, reserpine, compound antihypertensive capsules, etc. Hemostatic drugs such as 6-aminoacetic acid and diazepam may also cause it.

(5) Inflammation. If you suffer from prostatitis, it may cause thrombosis of the prostatic venous plexus, affecting the return of deep veins and causing the penis to be erect and unable to fall.

Once this disease occurs, you should seek medical attention immediately and do not delay treatment out of shame.
