This guy had an erection for 7 weeks after an accident on his crossbar.....
***************************************
He had fallen astride his bicycle handlebar and suffered pain, bruising and swelling, all of which had cleared up within a few days.
However, the unwanted erection persisted; although when he was examined by doctors they found no signs of injury and apart from embarrassment he was not in discomfort.
The successful treatment involved inserting gel foam and four tiny platinum coils at an abnormal connection between an artery and a vein that supplied blood to the man's penis.
Consultant Intervention radiologist at Tallaght Hospital, Dr Ronan Browne described the treatment as "a great result for him. We were very happy with the outcome. It was an anxious time for the patient as it would be for any young man."
Although the procedure was minimally invasive, it involved "a high level of expertise".
Doctors had to insert a catheter, a flexible tube through a narrow opening, into the man's pelvic artery.
The delicate treatment saw the doctors inserting foam and coils into the artery, mindful that it carried a small risk of impotence.
However, other more invasive treatment had a higher risk of impotence. Dr Browne pointed out: "You have to get it right -- you don't want to block off too much blood supply
oooooooooooo
