You said there was no pain and erection went down some. This means that it probably wasn't ischemic. After 6 hours of ischemic priapism blood acidity goes up and you start to get some damage. Even then, after 16 hours of ischemic priapism yoy have an 80% chance of recovery.
Necrosis doesn't usually start until you pass 24 hrs. Tou should definitely get medical help long before that, if your erection is painful, glans is cold, and/or there is no detumescence (gets softer).
Sounds like you had low flow priapism. Which usually is much less dangerous. Every time your erection goes down even a little, restarts the "timer". Obviously low flow priapism can be dangerous too, and should be monitored.
I've had 3 ischemic incidents, one for 6hrs one for 4 and one for 8. I went to the er for 1 of these and just waited it out there.
Thanks for the information.
