Hello doctor, I am a 29 year old male. I have a problem of priapism or prolonged erection at night since more than a year. During the day I find many people staring at me directly or indirectly, and this creates tension or pressure on my mind. I try to be normal as much as possible, but due to intrusive thoughts, anxiety and physical appearance people react in such ways. This tension escalates in the form of priapism, especially during night times. When I wake up the pressure or the tension in my head is not there, but when I check my penis I find engorged veins on the surface. My anus is also loose and hips flattened, which I think is due to prolonged involuntary or forced erection. These causes depression and physical weakness. The sight of my penis becoming thinner and veins appearing on the surface itself is horrifying to me. Earlier, there was no pain or engorged veins on the surface. But, since one month, these symptoms have started. The veins make it difficult to walk freely. I cannot stop people around me from staring or passing offensive comments at me so easily, but the consequence that is involuntary erection during sleep is taking its toll on my health and career. I know my behavior might be too polite or I can say weird things which cause people to react in such ways, but this problem occurring every night does not enable me to improve my appearance and behavior. I have heard of the NPT, but the symptoms I see, and the tension that I feel in my mind is totally different from that. Please help.
