Extractions: MANAGEMENT AND THERAPY OF SICKLE CELL DISEASE NIH Publication No. 95-2117, Revised December 1995 (Third Edition) National Institutes of Health, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Chapter 19-Priapism Priapism is a persistent, painful penile erection. Three clinical categories are discussed in this chapter, including recurrent acute priapism, acute prolonged priapism, and chronic priapism. RECURRENT ACUTE PRIAPISM This is the most common form of priapism in which the patient gets short attacks that subside spontaneously. The patient usually copes with this problem and may not seek medical advice. The natural history is variable. Most patients will continue to get attacks throughout their lives and will maintain some degree of potency. Others will eventually become impotent. A small group will develop an acute attack that will not subside without active and aggressive treatment in a timely fashion. ACUTE PROLONGED PRIAPISM The painful erection that does not subside after several hours is an emergency and should be treated aggressively. If untreated, the attack will last for several weeks, resulting in total impotence. Even with aggressive treatment, preservation of potency may be compromised. The presenting features are persistent erection, severe pain, and tenderness of the penile shaft. Radionuclear penile scan may show a very low flow, and penile blood gas may have a pO2 of less than 5. CHRONIC PRIAPISM This is a rare form of presentation that may follow an acute episode or may arise de novo. The penis is semierect and there is no pain. Clinically, this results in a progressive increase in the size of the penis, and penile scan shows good blood flow. Penile ultrasound shows dilated deep dorsal arteries in both corporeal bodies, and the patient has difficulty in getting a complete erection. Occasionally these patients may develop an acute episode. Suddenly for no apparent reason the penis becomes rigid and painful. These episodes may affect only a part of the penile shaft.

Extractions: Priapism Priapism is a prolonged, painful penile erection that occurs when blood in the penis is "trapped," or unable to drain. The stagnant blood causes an erection that can last from hours to days. A painful erection lasting for more than 4 hours indicates priapism. If not treated promptly, scarring and permanent impotence (inability to achieve an erection) can result. Types This rare, less painful type of priapism results from an injury to the penis or perineum (area between scrotum and anus) that prevents blood in the penis from circulating normally. It indicates a ruptured artery in the penis. There may be a lapse between the time of injury and onset of priapism. Incidence and Prevalence

Text message services Information About NetDoctor Commercial opportunities NetDoctor.com Priapism Written by Geoff Hackett , consultant in sexual dysfunction Priapism is a persistent erection, usually painful, that is not necessarily associated with stimulation or sexual desire. Much debate has taken place as to the meaning of 'persistent erection', but the current view is that the erection needs to be present for six hours. In practice, the usual recommendation is to seek medical help for a painful erection persisting for more than four hours. A normal erection results from relaxation of the muscles within the penis and an increase in arterial blood flow to the penis. The resulting swelling of the muscles compresses the penile veins, thus trapping blood within the penis. After ejaculation, the associated adrenaline surge constricts the arteries and relaxes the pressure on the veins, which leads to loss of erection (detumescence). Priapism may be spontaneous or caused by medical treatment (iatrogenic). Some 35 per cent of cases are idiopathic (unknown cause) and 21 per cent are associated with drug therapy or alcohol abuse. Trauma accounts for 21 per cent and blood disorders 8 per cent. Medically, the important issue is whether the condition is associated with high blood flow when there is little risk of tissue damage, or low blood flow when the risk of damage is higher.

Priapism Treatment priapism and Impotence. priapism is a condition wherein a man experiencespenile erection without sexual stimulation for an extended time. http://www.impotence-advice.com/impotence/priapism.htm
Extractions: Medical Education and Information Corner Priapism is a condition wherein a man experiences penile erection without sexual stimulation for an extended time. The erection may last a few hours or even days. In addition to being embarrassing and inconvenient, priapism is often painful and it can result in extensive tissue damage to the penis, as well as long-term impotence if not treated promptly. Fortunately, it is uncommon compared to other forms of sexual dysfunction, and many men can return to normal sex lives after receiving proper treatment. In general, priapism results from a disturbance to the mechanisms that control penile detumescence (the process by which the penis becomes flaccid). Blood enters the penis, but it cannot drain properly because it becomes trapped in the corpora cavernosa, a large chamber in the penis. The penis glans (head) and area around the urethra, however, remain flaccid.

Priapism is the occurrence of any persistent erection for more than four hours duration in the absence of sexual stimulation. Priapism is named after Priapus, the Greek god of fertility, and the son of Aphrodite, the goddess of love. He was apparently an ugly, satyrlike man with enormous genitalia. He was the god of gardens, bees, goats and sheep. According to the story, Priapus had a huge tongue, a fat belly, and his penis was so large that he was restricted to the position of scarecrow in the fields.

Extractions: Bandolier Bandolier Library search The incidence of priapism in the general population is about 1.5 per 100,000 person (men) years. Most cases occur in men over 40 years. Intracavernosal injection of vasodilators and sickle-cell disease accounted for 3 or 5 cases found. The setting was a primary care database in Holland (Rotterdam), with 485,000 patients. All male patients registered from January 1995 to May 1999 were followed for a first episode of priapism, excluding two who had a history of priapism before the study period. Priapism was defined as proplonged, painful erection of several hours duration. All potential cases were reviewed, with additional information from GPs if needed. The study cohoirt of 145,000 men contributed 340,000 years experience. There were eight cases of suspected priapism, five of which were confirmed. Two followed intracavernosal injection of vasodilators, one due to sickle cell disease, and two had no obvious cause. It occurred mainly in men aged 40 years or older. The incidence was 1.5 per 100,000 person years (95% confidence interval 0.2 to 2.8), and was 2.9 (0.1 to 5.7) per 100,000 person years in men of 40 years or older.

Extractions: Adult Medicine General Health Men's Health Adult Circumcision ... Information Priapism Causes and Symptoms: Priapism is the persistence of a spontaneous penile erection for more than four hours, in the absence of sexual stimulation. It is caused by abnormal regulation of penile flaccidity, and is best treated quickly so as to prevent painful side-effects. It is named for Priapus, the Greek god of fertility, and the son of Aphrodite. In Greek mythology, Priapus is a ponderous, satyrlike humanoid figure with genitalia so oversized that his principal social role is as a scarecrow in the fields. Priapism is worse than it sounds. The priapism-related erection does not dissipate with ejaculation; it quickly becomes agonizing, and a true urologic emergency. Almost all patients with priapism report intolerable pain and discomfort. Priapism is not necessarily associated with sexual excitement, and in fact can occur in pre-pubescent boys, and even newborns. Most reported cases of priapism occur either between the ages of five and ten, or twenty and fifty.

Extractions: Resources Priapism is a rare condition that causes a persistent, and often painful, penile erection. 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. 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. A physical examination is needed to diagnose priapism. Further testing, including nuclear scanning or Doppler ultrasound, will diagnose the underlying cause of the condition.
