MAIN SEARCH INDEX Priapism Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition Priapism is a rare condition that causes a persistent, and often painful, penile erection. Description Priapism is drug induced, injury related, or caused by disease, not sexual desire. As in a normal erection, the penis fills with blood and becomes erect. However, unlike a normal erection that dissipates after sexual activity ends, the persistent erection caused by priapism is maintained because the blood in the penile shaft does not drain. The shaft remains hard, while the tip of the penis is soft. If it is not relieved promptly, priapism can lead to permanent scarring of the penis and inability to have a normal erection. Causes and symptoms Priapism is caused by leukemia, sickle cell disease , or spinal cord injury . It has also been associated as a rare side effect to trazodone (Desyrel), a drug prescribed to treat depression. An overdose of self-injected chemicals to counteract impotence has also been responsible for priapism. The chemicals are directly injected into the penis, and at least a quarter of all men who have used this method of treatment for over three months develop priapism. Diagnosis A physical examination is needed to diagnose priapism. Further testing, including nuclear scanning or Doppler ultrasound, will diagnose the underlying cause of the condition.

Treatment is often not satisfactory. Clinical Findings Subjective Data Present Illness . Note time of onset of symptoms, frequency and duration of attacks, time of night, pain, dysuria, frequency, discharge. Association with dreams, sexual activity, or masturbation. Determine response to previous therapy. Objective Data Physical Examination - Vital Signs: Temperature, blood pressure. - Genitourinary: Document size and turgor of penis. Soft glans and ability to urinate indicate little involvement of the corpora spongiosa. Glans involvement indicates tricorporal priapism.

According to one study, the mean age at which priapism occurs is 12 years, and by the age of 20, as many as 89 percent of males with SCD will have experienced one or more episodes of priapism (1). Priapism in males with SCD is due to vaso-occlusion, which causes obstruction of the venous drainage of the penis. Priapism can be classified as prolonged if it lasts for more than three hours or stuttering if it lasts for more than a few minutes but less than three hours and resolves spontaneously; however, such stuttering episodes may recur or develop into more prolonged events. Prolonged priapism is an emergency that requires urologic consultation.

Ask the Doctor Q: Priapism... Why do men need to have treatment for priapism? Surely having this is a good thing? Martin Dr Rob Hicks responds A priapism is a persistent erection of the penis that lasts for four hours or often much longer. Although many men may think this might be a good and desirable thing to have there are a number of reasons why it isn't. Firstly, it may be a real nuisance since priapism can occur when a man doesn't have any sexual desire. Secondly, priapism can damage the erectile tissues of the penis permanently. And thirdly, it can be extremely painful. Priapism occurs because the blood in the penis that forms the erection can't escape. This might be because of prolonged sexual intercourse, medical conditions such as polycythaemia, or drug side effects. Very occasionally drugs used to treat impotence can cause priapism too. The problem of priapism can be relieved immediately by releasing the blood from the penis. A doctor will do this at the local casualty (accident and emergency) department with a needle and syringe.

Priapism - abnormal erection of the penis www.Studenthealth.co.uk Background information Priapism is a condition characterised by a painful, persistent and abnormal penile erection. It is named after a perpetually erect Greek god of fertility, Priapus. Causes Frequently no specific cause is found. It can be associated with some diseases such as blood disorders, tumours and infections. It can be caused by an injury to the spine, pelvis or genitals. Some prescription and also illicit drugs can cause priapism. It can also be caused by some drugs used for erectile dysfunction. Symptoms Painful erection present for hours to days. Diagnosis Diagnosis is made on the basis of a detailed history and examination. Duration of erection must be carefully documented. Treatment Treatment is aimed at terminating the erection and preserving normal erectile function. It partly depends on the individual causes of priapism and the length of the episode. Hospitalisation is usually needed and sometimes surgery is required. Complications Prolonged untreated priapism can damage the penis blood circulation and cause long term impotence.

Dictionaries: General Computing Medical Legal Encyclopedia Priapism Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition Priapism is a painful and potentially harmful medical condition in which the erect penis The penis (plural penises or penes ) or phallus is the male copulatory organ, and, in mammals, the male organ of urination. It is homologous to the female clitoris, as it develops from the same embryonic structure. The penis is capable of erection for use in copulation. Animal penises Most marsupials, except for the two largest species of kangaroos, have a bifurcated penis. That is, it separates into two separate columns, and so the penis terminates in two ends. The dolphin has prehensile control over his penis, so he sometimes uses it as an sensory appendage with which to probe the ocean floor. The barnacle has the longest penis for its own length: up to twenty times the length of the animal. Click the link for more information. erection Erection , in the sexual sense, is the hardening, enlarging and rising of the penis which often occurs in the sexually aroused male. Erection enables sexual intercourse and some other sexual activities, though it is not essential for all of them. In addition to sexual arousal, erection can be caused by friction or by the pressure of the filled urinary bladder. In healthy males, erections occur several times per night during sleep, and morning erections when waking up are common. Erections already occur in infant boys.
