PRIAPISM WHEN GBOLA RISES AND FAILS TO COME DOWN
Priapism is a urological emergency characterized by a prolonged and often painful penile erection that persists for more than four hours and is unrelated to sexual stimulation. It may occur spontaneously or following sexual activity. This condition results from impaired blood outflow from the penis, causing blood to become trapped in the erectile tissues. If untreated, priapism can lead to tissue damage and long-term erectile dysfunction. Management typically involves aspiration of the trapped blood from the corpora cavernosa (erectile tissue) and/or administration of medications to constrict blood vessels and restore normal blood flow. Men who use sexual enhancement herbal drugs or unregulated aphrodisiacs to prolong erection are at increased risk for priapism and are strongly advised to avoid such substances. Additionally, individuals with sickle cell disease are more prone to priapism due to the abnormal shape and rigidity of their red blood cells, which can obstruct penile blood vessels. Prompt medical attention is essential to prevent permanent damage, consult a fertility scientists.
