Holy guacamole!
When you’re a cyclist, you’re used to something hard between your legs for an extended amount of time — just not THIS long!!
A 22-year-old mountain biker was admitted to a Dublin hospital after a bike injury ended up having an erection that lasted for FIVE WEEKS!
It was a straddle injury on the crossbar of his bike that started an irregular blood flow to his penis. Here’s the thing, though — he didn’t go to the hospital until he had the boner for those 5 weeks!
The initial examination:
“…revealed no signs of injury, but penis was erect.”
That’s hilariously matter-of-fact!
Also, we know you’re all wondering! YES, he could’ve been gettin’ his mack on, but it would’ve been super painful!
Here’s what the radiologist at Tallaght Hospital, said:
“It was an anxious time for the patient as it would be for any young man.”
Luckily, they were able to treat it — but only after a bunch of attempts. What finally worked was an inserted gel foam and four tiny platinum coils at an abnormal connection between an artery and a vein that supplied blood. How they figured that out… we don’t even want to know.
Had he not come in, it could’ve caused a blood clot!
Terrifying!
