Priapism

A loyalty program is available for surgical interventions in the hospital, which makes treatment even more affordable.

Priapism is a pathological condition that manifests itself as a long-term erection of the penis, not associated with sexual arousal. The main cause is impaired blood flow.

You should consult a urologist if the erection persists for more than 4 hours. Without timely medical care, complications may develop: the formation of scar tissue in the cavernous bodies, tissue death (necrosis), erectile dysfunction, etc.

Make an appointment with an experienced andrologist. The method and effectiveness of treatment, as well as the ability to prevent complications, depend on the timeliness of seeking medical help.

Conservative methods may be used during the first 4-6 hours. The patient is given intravenous medications that improve blood circulation, and a cooling compress is applied. If there is no improvement, a puncture is performed. A thin needle is inserted into the corpora cavernosa to remove excess blood. If necessary, vasoconstrictors are also administered. Puncture is most effective during the first day.

In the case of a longer erection or ineffectiveness of conservative treatment, surgical methods are used. The most common method is bypassing - creating an alternative path for blood outflow through the connection of the corpora cavernosa with other veins.

In the case of timely treatment to the clinic, in most cases, complications can be avoided. If erectile dysfunction occurs as a result of priapism, a man may be recommended a penile prosthesis.
