Penile erection lasting beyond 30 minutes during sexual intercourse must be immediately reported at a hospital, Professor Ademola Popoola has warned.
Professor Popoola of the Department of Surgery, University of Ilorin said erection lasting beyond 30 minutes is purposeless, dangerous and harmful to men.
The Unilorin don gave the warning in Ilorin while presenting his paper at the 250th Inaugural Lecture of the university, entitled: “That All May Pee in Peace”.
”A person who has more than 30 minutes of erection should report immediately to the hospital,” the scholar said.
He stated that the erection must be aborted as soon as possible by a competent doctor to preserve penile erection subsequently.
The expert, who observed that the penis needs to be turgid or erect for satisfactory sexual intercourse, however, said the erected penis often fractures or breaks.
“Research shows that the right side of the penis ruptures more than the left side,” he said.

Similarly, Popoola stated that in a person’s lifetime urination, which is supposed to be fun and relieving, may become a problem and sometimes, if intervention is not made on time, it could lead to the demise of the individual.
The don, who teaches in the Faculty of Clinical Sciences, College of Health Sciences of Unilorin, observed the various causes of challenges with urination in women.
“They include abnormal shifting of the uterus, urethrocele and other uncommon causes such as perforation ovarian teratoma and anteverted uterus,” he said.
The expert warned that blood in the urine should cause great concern and peaceless urination.
This, he said, may signify underlying disorders that need to be investigated, affecting that the cause of blood in the urine should be identified within a week or two of presentation to the hospital and a deadline of treatment set out.
He therefore called for comprehensive care of patients with urological malignancies, which should be covered by the National Health Insurance Authority.
Popoola also advised the Federal Government to make available research funding to support genitourinary problems, including kidney failure.
