Doctor of Urology department mln medical college, PrayagrajHad a rare penile prosthesis surgery which helped him come out of the crisis he himself had landed in.
Doctors said that the man got married three months back and started taking Viagra on the suggestion of his friends. He gradually increased his dosage to 200 mg daily (six to eight times the prescribed limit of 25-30 mg) after which he was in serious trouble.
“The man developed a condition called ‘priapism’ which is an unwanted, persistent erection with progressively worsening pain. This can happen spontaneously or from certain antidepressants or erectile dysfunction medications,” said Dr. Dileep Chaurasia,
Symptoms include erections lasting more than four hours on or off and lasting several hours.

“Penile prosthesis surgery is a treatment option for men with erectile dysfunction. In this surgery, devices known as penis implants are placed in the male genitalia to help men with erectile dysfunction (ED). Dr. Chaurasia claimed that this is the first time such a surgery has been done in Prayagraj.
“After the surgery, the man will again lead a happy married life and become a father too,” he said.
The family members of the man thanked the doctors very much for their efforts.
However, Dr. Chaurasia warned people not to take performance enhancing drugs and aphrodisiacs without consulting doctors.
He added that people with diabetes and erectile dysfunction especially should be more cautious and should never take such medicines without expert advice as it can prove to be disastrous for them.
