Priapism is a disease characterized by a prolonged (more than 4 hours) erection in the absence of any sexual stimulation. There are three main types of priapism: ischemic (low-flow, veno-occlusive), non-ischemic (high-flow, arterial) and intermittent (chronic-recurrent) type. Ischemic causes of priapism are a true emergency and require prompt intervention to prevent penile damage that can progress to complete and permanent erectile dysfunction. Emergency treatment of this disease is aimed at achieving detumescence. The earliest possible treatment is essential for the functional restoration of erectile ability. If left untreated, necrosis of the penile body and eventual fibrosis occurs, along with permanent erectile dysfunction.
