| | Priapism |
| | Priapism is not associated with sexual excitement, at least not initially, and the erection does not subside after ejaculation. | | | Priapism is the occurrence of any persistent erection for more than four hours duration in the absence of sexual stimulation. | | | Once the blood-gas measurement has been performed and the priapism is determined to be ischemic, or that in fact the penis has very poor blood flow, I then evacuate the old blood by aspirating through a small needle placed directly in the corporal body. |

| | Priapism |
| | Priapism is a rare condition that causes a persistent, and often painful, penile erection. | | | However, unlike a normal erection that dissipates after sexual activity ends, the persistent erection caused by priapism is maintained because the blood in the penile shaft does not drain. | | | If it is not relieved promptly, priapism can lead to permanent scarring of the penis and inability to have a normal erection. |

| | Priapism |
| | Priapism is a persistent, usually painful, erection that lasts for more than four hours and occurs without sexual stimulation. | | | Surgical shunt: Also used for low-flow priapism, a shunt is a passageway that is surgically inserted into the penis to divert the blood flow and allow circulation to return to normal. | | | If you experience priapism, it is important that you seek medical care immediately. |
