They do at 3 hours. I would have chewed some Sudafed and waited at least another hour or if at the doctors office already an hour and a half. They should have the antidote they could have injected. There were other options. When I was learning I had a fair number of injection erections that were banging on 4 hours.
Agreed...but the OP asked me and sogwap; presumably about our situations. I was 5 hours in when they started draining it....but from what I read, the "erection lasting longer than 4 hours" thing isn't as hard and fast a rule as the commercials would have one believe.
After reading up on it, apparently, if one isn't in pain...you can probably go a LOT longer (I won't say how long here; if someone wants to do the research....you may be as shocked as I was) without damaging your erectile tissue. I wasn't in any pain....actually quite the opposite in my instance.
I was given a couple of 'antidote' shots as well as given several of the higher dose Sudafed, ice packs and even did 'wall sits' to try and get the blood to go somewhere else.
The ER doc in my case was a younger guy....and appeared he was 'winging it' all by his lonesome and getting the procedure presumably from some online medical source. He botched mine and accidentally gave me an air embolism on the left side of my shaft with a 16 gauge need....then promptly switched to a 14 gauge and drained it. Not gonna lie....did some pretty decent damage to my dick and I had pretty good bend (to that left side) to my normally completely straight shaft. Luckily, I already had some PE stuff at home that helped me straighten it back out and helped avoid permanent damage. I'd guess what I had starting was something akin to or Peyronie's itself.
