Coronavirus can cause PRIAPISM: the 62-year-old man has a four-hour erection

An unidentified 62-year-old man from France suffered from the painful condition while being hospitalized for a serious attack of the coronavirus.

His erection was caused by trapped blood in the penis, which turned out to be full of blood clots when it was drained by doctors.

Blood clotting or thrombosis has been reported as a dangerous complication in up to one-third of coronavirus-infected patients.

But this is believed to be the first time that priapism has been seen as a side effect of the coronavirus, which has killed 500,000 people worldwide.
