Tests at the hospital showed the man had “thrombosis of deep dorsal penile vein” – blood clotting in a vein that runs along the top of the shaft.

The vein runs the whole length of the penis and is involved in supply of oxygenated blood to the organ.

An ultrasound showed “no [blood] flow in the vein” due to a clot around half way along the penis.

“Searching the literature showed no previously published similar case of deep dorsal penile vein thrombosis following COVID-19 infection and our patient is the first reported case,” Mr Morteza Bagheri said.

A 69-year-old man in Ohio, suffered a three-hour erection — a condition called priapism — due to blood clotting problems in his penis.

Medics reported in The American Journal of American Medicine that they believed COVID had caused clots to form in his penis, trapping blood in the erection chambers. .

Meanwhile, experts have found evidence that COVID may damage the blood vessels of the penis, making it harder to get an erection
