Summary of Priapism
Ischemic priapism is a painful sustained erection lasting more than four hours. It is associated with sickle cell disease and some medications like sildenafil and trazodone. Treatment is with immediate corporal aspiration, intracavernosal phenylephrine, or surgical decompression. Delay in treatment will lead to ischemia and eventual necrosis of penile tissue.
