According to the Mirror and other foreign media, a 36-year-old man living near Valencia, Spain, visited the hospital after having an erection for four hours.
As a result of the examination, it was diagnosed as 'Pronchial persistence (pneumonia)'.
This is a disease in which there is no sexual stimulation or the erection of the genital organs is maintained for several hours even after the stimulation is over.
If it lasts for a long time, there may be problems with blood flow and necrosis of the genitals.
However, the hospital delayed treatment because there was no urologist.
A, who was waiting, was transferred to another hospital in about 20 hours.
Eventually, A suffered from a high fever due to the infection. The medical staff removed the blood from the patient's penis and inserted the penis prosthesis a few days later.
However, due to the incorrect installation of the prosthesis, A underwent surgery again a few days later.
Since then, A has suffered permanent erectile dysfunction, lost sensation and strength in his right arm, and developed persistent pain in his left leg.
A and his wife filed a lawsuit with the court, claiming that the medical accident was obvious.
The court ruled that the hospitals should pay A about 49,000 euros (about 73 million won) and his wife 5,000 euros (about 7.5 million won).
One urologist warned "If erection lasts for four to five hours, genital tissue can be damaged and the risk is higher after 20 hours."
