cialis just wondering?

i was just wondering what happens if you take Cialis and end up having a
prolonged erection for more than 4 hours? if you go to the emergency room what will they do?

[tinmuning]

The goal of all treatment is to make the erection go away and preserve future erectile function. If a person receives treatment within four to six hours, the erection can almost always be reduced with medication. If the erection has lasted less than four hours, decongestant medications, which may act to decease blood flow to the penis, may be very helpful.

Other treatment options include ice packs, aspiration & ligation.

Thank you for the reply you gave. May I ask what do you mean by aspiration and ligation?

[ladypam]

Aspiration is a surgical procedure wherein the blood trapped in the penile shaft is removed through a needle inserted into it. Ligation is also a surgical procedure wherein a defective artery causing the priapism (prolonged erection) is tied up or ligated to stop blood flow to the penile shaft. Both procedures can help remove the erection. Unfortunately both pose a risk for erectile dysfunction.

Hope this helps.
