An erection normally occurs in response to physical or psychological stimulation. This stimulation causes certain blood vessels to relax and expand, increasing blood flow to spongy tissues in the penis. Consequently, the blood-filled penis becomes erect. After stimulation ends, the blood flows out, and the penis returns to its nonrigid (flaccid) state.

Priapism occurs when some part of this system the blood, blood vessels or nerves changes normal blood flow, resulting in painful erections. Consult urologist for further evaluation...

I've been feeling a lot of tickling on the top and a little deeper inside my hips lately, and my urine has been yellow for a few days now. What's going on with my body?

Too much tickling on the upper side and top of the penis, along with discomfort deep inside the hips and yellow urine could be indicative of a urinary tract infection. I would recommend taking an antibiotic like Ciprofloxacin to treat the infection. Additionally, it would be beneficial to drink plenty of water to help flush out the bacteria causing the infection.
