The man, who has Asperger's Syndrome, was a patient at a care home run by Barnsley Council.
A care home patient who suffered permanent physical damage after enduring an erection lasting up to four days was not failed by staff, an ombudsman has said.
His mother claimed hospital staff had told her treatment should have been sought within hours not days.The man's mother, referred to as Mrs B, told the ombudsman staff "did nothing for four days" after her son's erection began.Google It said the home did, however, investigate the man's medical episode, adding staff had contacted a GP and taken a urine sample.
On the day Y went to hospital, staff had been aware at 10:00 GMT that he had an erection, the ombudsman established.However, there was no record of Y continuing to have one at 13:30 GMT when staff supported him into a shower.Staff accompanied the resident to hospital, where he was diagnosed with priapism - a condition described on the NHS website as "a long-lasting, painful erection".
