If relieved within the first 12-24 hours, usually no residual damage. After that, permanent impotence may result, since the high pressure in the penis effects blood flow and leads to tissue death (infarction).
An antineoplastic drug (hydroxyurea) may prevent future episodes of priapism for patients with sickle cell disease.
Priapism is nothing to do with the spinal cord. It's a medical condition affecting blood flow in a man's penis.
A physical examination is needed to diagnose priapism. Further testing, including nuclear scanning or Doppler ultrasound, will diagnose the underlying cause of the condition.
In mythology, the guy with the huge penis was a man named Priapus, and he is what a priapism is named after. A priapism is a condition where an erection won't go away.
Priapism is caused by leukemia, sickle cell disease, spinal cord injury, a rare side effect of the anti-depressant trazodone (Desyrel) or an overdose of self-injected chemicals to treat impotence.
Spinal injury can lead to priapism, a prolonged and painful erection, due to disruption of nerve signals that control blood flow in the penis. Complications of priapism include tissue damage, erectile dysfunction, and infection, which can be serious if not treated promptly.

Yes, steroids can potentially cause priapism, which is a prolonged and painful erection not associated with sexual desire. This side effect is more commonly linked to anabolic steroids, particularly in individuals who misuse them. The mechanism is thought to involve hormonal changes and alterations in blood flow. However, priapism is a rare side effect and not all steroid users will experience it.

The prognosis of abulia depends on the prognosis of the underlying condition.
