"question": "A young adult male took tadalafil (10 mg after two weeks of 5 mg daily) followed by multiple doses of sildenafil (total 60 mg) for erectile dysfunction. Since then, the patient has experienced persistent semi-erections, penile discoloration, numbness, occasional pain, urinary stream difficulty, and bowel-movement issues for approximately one month. What is the expected healing timeline, is ongoing discoloration normal, and why are erections inconsistent and sometimes shorter or bent?"
}I am a 21-year-old male who took tadalafil (10 mg) after a two‑week course of 5 mg daily and then took multiple doses of sildenafil (30 mg) for erectile dysfunction. Since then I have persistent semi‑erections, penile discoloration, numbness, occasional pain, urinary stream difficulty, and bowel‑movement issues. What is the expected healing timeline, is ongoing discoloration normal, and why are my erections inconsistent and sometimes shorter or bent?
