Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Andrology

Context:

  • Priapism is a medical emergency characterized by prolonged erection unrelated to sexual stimulation.
  • It necessitates prompt intervention, ideally within six hours, to avert irreversible penile tissue damage and subsequent erectile dysfunction.

Purpose:

  • To define priapism, its classifications (low-flow, high-flow, primary, secondary), and common etiologies.
  • To emphasize the critical time window for treatment and the importance of specialized urological care.

Summary:

  • Priapism presents as either low-flow (impaired blood outflow) or high-flow (excessive blood inflow).
  • Secondary causes include intracavernous injection overdose, tumors, and trauma; sickle cell disease is also a risk factor.
  • Timely treatment by a urologist is essential to prevent long-term complications like erectile dysfunction.
