What exactly happens if you have SRPE for a long time?

Having SRPE for a long time can cause:

  • Depression/anxiety;
  • All the issues that come from lack of getting enough sleep like irritability, lack of focus, low productivity, high blood pressure, gaining weight, hormones imbalance;
  • Some men have reported loss of penile sensitivity due to the prolonged erections;
  • Erectile tissue can be damaged by an erection lasting more than 4 hours; however, since the painful erections usually result in waking up, it is only rarely that someone with SRPE will sleep through them, causing such damage.

SRPE is not physiologically life-threatening, despite its psychological effects having the potential to be quite severe.

SRPE is not usually a case of medical emergency.

It can be lived with, but will certainly affect quality of life in varying degrees, based on the severity of the individual SRPE-sufferer’s case
