Priapism is a persistent erection unrelated to sexual stimulation. This review updates the pathophysiology of ischemic and arterial priapism and proposes a diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Andrology
  • Pathophysiology

Context:

  • Understanding priapism pathophysiology is crucial for managing erectile dysfunction.
  • Recent research has focused on intracavernosal vasoactive molecule treatments.
  • Priapism is classified into ischemic (venocclusive) and arterial (non-ischaemic) types.

Purpose:

  • To provide an updated review of priapism pathophysiology.
  • To differentiate between ischemic and arterial priapism.
  • To develop a diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm for priapism.

Summary:

  • Priapism, a persistent erection, has unknown pathophysiology, particularly in patients treated with intracavernosal vasoactive drugs.
  • The two main types are ischemic (venocclusive) and arterial (non-ischaemic).

Related Experiment Videos

  • This review details the pathophysiology of both types and proposes a clinical approach.

    • Impact:

    • This review aims to improve the diagnosis and treatment of priapism.
    • It provides a framework for clinicians managing patients with prolonged erections.
    • Understanding the pathophysiology aids in developing targeted therapies for erectile dysfunction.
