Mac users: please note that our site is optimized for the Safari browser About Men What is priapism? Originally Published: March 28, 1997 / Updated on: October 03, 2003 What is priapism? Priapism is a prolonged and painful erection that can last from several hours up to a few days. The priapismic erection is NOT associated with sexual thoughts or sexual activity. What happens is that blood flows into the penis, but is unable to drain as it would in a normally flaccid penis. Considering that the penis provides little room for blood to circulate, the blood becomes stagnant after a while, acidifies, and loses oxygen. Without oxygen, the red blood cells become stiff, and even less able to squeeze their way out of the penis. Very few cases of priapism are without an obvious cause. In most cases, priapism results from one of two things: certain medications or medical conditions. Under the category of medications, there are two primary culprits. For one, penile injections used to treat some forms of impotence can cause priapism; however, this usually only happens when a man decides, on his own, to increase the dosage. Second, psychiatric medications, such as anti-depressants, seem to cause some cases of priapism; however, how these drugs affect priapism is unclear. The second major cause of priapism is certain medical conditions and diseases generally, any that cause the blood to thicken, or cause red blood cells to lose their flexibility and mobility. Sickle-cell anemia and leukemia are probably the most common conditions that cause priapism.

Priapism is named after Priapus, the Greek god of fertility, and the son of Aphrodite, the goddess of love. He was apparently an ugly, satyrlike man with enormous genitalia. He was the god of gardens, bees, goats, and sheep. According to the story, Priapus had a huge tongue, a fat belly, and his penis was so large that he was restricted to the position of scarecrow in the fields. Most erections due to sexual stimulation never approach four to six hours. Priapism is not associated with sexual excitement, at least not initially, and the erection does not subside after ejaculation. Priapism can occur in all age groups, including newborns. Most cases of priapism are clustered between two age groups: between the ages of five to ten and twenty to fifty years. Priapism constitutes a true urologic emergency. Men often joke that they wish they could have a permanent erection, but in reality, men are extremely miserable when this actually happens.

4. Prozac & Priapism The Urology Forum Question and answer about the use of anti-depressants and this disorder. http://www.medhelp.org/perl6/urology/archive/1157.html

Questions in the Urology Forum have been answered by Dr. Kevin Pho, (who is board certified in Internal Medicine) and by urologists from Henry Ford Health System. Forum: The Urology Forum Topic: Urology - General Subject: Prozac has been a lifesaver for me, but it given me uncomfortable/ painful erections. These happen only in the middle of the night. I discover them when I get up at night to urinate. I stopped taking prozac for awhile, and the erections very slowly subsided after about one month. Then I started prozac again (20 mgs.) and developed the problem again after 7 or so days. (The only way to get the erections to go down is for me to stand up, and it takes maybe a minute or so for them to go away. Sometimes they come right back if I lie down, for some reason.) Questions: does this sound serious? Could this be a drug interaction? I also take bentyl and sometimes Fiorinal-type migraine meds. Should I be concerned about zoloft causing the same problems? Strangely, I am not aware of priapism being a noted side effect fro prozac...

Priapism Priapism is a persistent, usually painful, erection that lasts for more than four hours and occurs without sexual stimulation. The condition develops when blood in the penis becomes trapped and unable to drain. If the condition is not treated immediately, it can lead to scarring and permanent erectile dysfunction. It can occur in all age groups, including newborns. However, it usually affects men between the ages of 5 to 10 years and 20 to 50 years. There are two categories of priapism: low-flow and high-flow. Low flow This type of priapism is the result of blood being trapped in the erection chambers. It often occurs without a known cause in men who are otherwise healthy, but also affects men with sickle-cell disease, leukemia (cancer of the blood) or malaria. High-flow : High-flow priapism is more rare than low-flow and usually less painful. It is the result of a ruptured artery from an injury to the penis or the perineum (area between the scrotum and anus), which prevents blood in the penis from circulating normally.
