Doctors have warned that a patient with Corona virus in France suffers from a condition called “priapism” for 4 hours due to a blood clot that may have been caused by the disease.

The 62-year-old man suffered from a painful condition known as “priapism”, that is, what is known as an erection of the penis, while he was in the intensive care unit at Le Chesnay Hospital, according to the case report in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine, according to “Russia” Today”.

Initially, the doctors put an ice pack over the area, but after 4 hours the annoying condition did not go away.

Instead, the report said, they decided to use a needle to drain the blood and discovered that it was full of blood clots.

Doctors explained that blood clots are common among patients with the Coronavirus, but that it was the first known condition for “priapism”, which was caused by trapped blood.

They wrote: “The clinical and laboratory presentation of our patient strongly suggests” priapism “associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

They said that more research is needed on the relationship between the peculiar state of coagulation and the virus.

The report revealed, “Although the arguments in support of the causal relationship between” Covid-19 “and” Ruthless “are very strong in the case presented, reports of other cases will reinforce the evidence.”
