The medical term is called Priapism.It is considered a "medical" emergency if it last over 4 hours. The mechanisms are poorly understood,but it involves both vascular and neurololgic abnormalities.You need to get yourself to your MD or go to the ER to get treated. Applying ice packs to the area and the perineum may help also.Treatment can include medications to allow for decompression,in severe cases surgery to create a vein shunt may be necessary.Permanent urinary damage even gangrene can result from lack of adequate medical care.Please take care.

Did you take something to make you to have an erection for that long? I would say that you need to go to your doctors office or even an Urgent Care Clinic. You may even want to go to the ER.
Good Luck!

See your doctor who is qualified, trained, and licensed to give you medical advice. People on this site are not. Good luck.
