I did go back to the Sholdice clinic where I had the hernia repaired and they claimed they had never heard of similar side effects. I somehow find that strange, but they are one trick ponies anyway so I don't expect any diagnostics from them. What could they do anyway?View Thread


I had inguinal hernia surgery 6 months ago and have recently started experiencing priapism. The erection starts about half an hour after I've gone to bed so there seems to be a correlation to laying horizontally. It will continue on and off throughout the night, at times lasting for several hours. Sometimes I can get relief if I lay on my back, but generally I can't seem to control it. It's not painful but I am concerned about the length of time of the erection ie. blood clotting possibilities and general deterioration of sensitivity in the penis. Is this a serious issue that needs immediate attention? I'm trying to set up an appointment with an urologist, but it takes time.View Thread
