ABSTRACT
Priapism is a rare disease with
a relatively low incidence in
the general population, but not
for patients with exposure to
intracavernous or intravenous
therapies for the treatment of
erectile dysfunction, or sickle cell
patients where the risk of crises is
considerable. Basically there are
two types of priapism; ischemic
or low-flow and non-ischemic
or high flow. Early recognition
of the symptoms is critical, as
it has been seen that there are
disastrous consequences for
the patient’s sex life the longer
the symptoms occur and the
later the treatment begins. The
importance of early recognition
and differentiation between the
two types is necessary as their
treatment is different, since one is
a urological medical emergency
while the other is not. Priapism
is a urological condition that
must be recognized and treated
promptly, while being studied to
prevent future episodes
