Doctor Wang Hung-jen, head of Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital's Urology Department, said the patient's constantly erect penis was caused by late-stage bladder cancer, which had metastasised and caused tumours to obstruct blood vessels in his penis.
Three years prior, the man had found out he had early stages of the cancer.
He had been advised to have his bladder surgically removed.
The medic said: "But the patient refused because he didn't want to wear a urine bag for the rest of his life."
Wang and a team of surgeons operated on the man, opting to cut into his penis and bladder in order to relieve some of the pressure build-up causing the pain.
But they found that the cancerous tumours had spread too far, meaning half his penis had to be amputated.
Currently the patient is recovering from the operation but he will start chemotherapy treatment as soon as possible.
The doctor advises other patients to see a professional if they experience an erection which lasts for more than four hours.
