It\u2019s a serious medical condition that may, in rare cases, be caused by Viagra. Medical data is reassuring, however \u2014 developing priapism after using ED medication is extremely rare.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What Is Priapism?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.urologyhealth.org\/urology-a-z\/p\/priapism\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Priapism<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an erection that lasts unusually long, causing pain and discomfort. It may or may not involve sexual arousal and stimulation. If untreated, priapism can be very dangerous. In medical terms, an erection that lasts four or more hours is usually regarded as priapism.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get a better understanding of how priapism works, think of a water fountain. It works well when fresh water flows freely in and out. Now think of a blockage that prevents old water from flowing out and new water from coming in. What do you get? A fountain filled with water that can\u2019t drain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something similar happens to a penis affected by priapism. The sexual organ relies on good circulation of blood flowing into its spongy tissues to enable erections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blood vessels temporarily tighten to keep the penis erect, but after a while, they open to let the blood out and allow for recovery and the continued exchange of oxygenated blood that keeps the penis in top shape.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2.jpeg-9.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-35912\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2.jpeg-9.jpg\" alt=\"mechanism of erection\" width=\"780\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2.jpeg-9.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2.jpeg-9-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2.jpeg-9-768x393.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Types of Priapism<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For men who experience priapism, it&#8217;s usually a one-off situation. Some unlucky ones, however, may have its recurrent form, called stuttering priapism.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the most common form of priapism, known as ischemic, or low-flow, the blood will get stuck inside of the sexual organ for too long, depriving it of oxygen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another less common form of the disorder is non-ischemic, or high-flow, priapism. When it happens, there&#8217;s a constant, high volume flow of blood into the penis. When so much blood is pumped into the organ, it can&#8217;t rest and recover. This, too, can be dangerous.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Causes of Priapism<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For some men, priapism happens spontaneously and is difficult to predict. Those suffering from certain medical conditions or using specific medications can be at higher risk for this complication.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are the main <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.msdmanuals.com\/professional\/multimedia\/table\/some-causes-of-priapism\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">causes of priapism<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Hematologic disorders. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blood diseases that can increase the risk of priapism include sickle cell disease and leukemia. Medical data suggests that there are more cases among young men of African or Mediterranean descent.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Side effects of medication. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The strongest link to priapism has been found for antipsychotic drugs. Other types of medication include antihypertensives, beta blockers, anticoagulants, corticosteroids, hypoglycemics, lithium, methaqualone, and trazodone.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Erectile dysfunction medications. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Priapism is one of the adverse effects of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/current-health-news\/what-you-should-know-about-injections-to-treat-ed\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">injectable ED treatments<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, such as alprostadil or papaverine.<\/span><b> It\u2019s much less likely to occur from oral PDE5 inhibitors, such as <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/edrugstore.com\/viagra\"><b>Viagra<\/b><\/a><b>, <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/edrugstore.com\/cialis\"><b>Cialis<\/b><\/a><b>, or <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/edrugstore.com\/levitra\"><b>Levitra<\/b><\/a><b>.\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Recreational drugs. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There have been reports of priapism in men who took amphetamines or cocaine.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Trauma.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Men who have suffered injury to the penis may develop a non-ischemic form of priapism.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other causes of the condition include prostate cancer, spinal cord stenosis or compression, genital infections, pelvic hematomas, cerebrospinal disorder, and carbon monoxide poisoning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How Common Is Priapism?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A painful, prolonged erection causing penile damage is a stuff of nightmares for most men, but getting one is unlikely. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/23583536\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Statistically speaking<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, out of a hundred thousand men in the United States, only 5.34 will end up with priapism symptoms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No one knows why, but there are over 30 percent more reported cases in the summer months compared to wintertime.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Link Between Priapism and Viagra<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The risk of taking Viagra for ED only to get too much of a good thing \u2014 an erection lasting over four hours, causing pain and tissue damage \u2014 may have been overestimated, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/32622767\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">analysis of documented drug-induced priapism<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> cases revealed that the use of erectile dysfunction medications from the PDE5 inhibitor group (such as Viagra or Cialis) caused only 2.9 percent of priapism cases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&#8217;s a small proportion, compared to 33.8 percent of prolonged erection cases resulting from the use of certain antipsychotic drugs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/talking-with-a-doctor-about-priapism.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-35913\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/talking-with-a-doctor-about-priapism.jpg\" alt=\"talking with a doctor about priapism\" width=\"780\" height=\"524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/talking-with-a-doctor-about-priapism.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/talking-with-a-doctor-about-priapism-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/talking-with-a-doctor-about-priapism-768x516.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>What To Do if Your Erection Won\u2019t Go Away<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Priapism is a urological emergency, and you should try to do something about it as soon as you can.

The doctor may give you medication to resolve the issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If need be, they may drain the stagnant blood from your penis using a needle. (Don\u2019t worry, you will be numbed in that area before the procedure.) Sometimes, a surgical procedure called a shunt or ligation may be necessary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The idea of going to the hospital with an erect penis and having needles injected into it may sound scary, but hesitating to get medical assistance could result in permanent damage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that doctors are professionals, trained to deal with all kinds of emergencies. They will not judge or make fun of you.
