From what I've been reading, if it is just due to stress or tiredness, it might last only a few days or weeks. But if there is an underlying physical issue, it can persist until that is treated. It seems very common and nothing to be embarrassed about.

How long it lasts depends entirely on the root cause, like diabetes or high BP. I suggest getting a basic lipid and hormone profile test done first. You can easily compare prices online to find an affordable lab before taking the reports to a doctor.

I went through a very stressful phase at work and panicked when this happened to me for a couple of weeks. But once I reduced my stress and spoke to a urologist, everything went back to normal. It is highly treatable, so don't lose sleep over it.

If it is due to mental worry, simple daily walks and deep breathing can help resolve it in a few weeks. However, if this has been happening for more than a couple of months, it is very important to consult a qualified doctor for a proper checkup.

If it is linked to poor blood circulation, it can last until you improve your lifestyle. Eating a clean, whole-food plant diet, reducing refined sugar, and exercising daily can make a huge difference in your cardiovascular health over a few months.
