Prolonged erection may lead to persistent pelvic congestion, causing pain in the testicles and lower abdomen. It is important to reduce sexual stimulation, get adequate rest, and decrease the likelihood of pelvic congestion to alleviate clinical symptoms. Additionally, if the pain is severe, patients may need to take analgesics for symptomatic relief. For married individuals, maintaining regular sexual activity is recommended; for unmarried individuals, regular masturbation is acceptable but should not be excessive, to avoid overstimulation.
