What are the symptoms of Priapism?

The symptom of Priapism depends upon the type of Priapism you have. If you have low flow priapism, then your symptoms might include:

• Penis pain
• Erections lasting for more than 4 hours
• Rigid penile shaft with a soft tip

If you have high-flow priapism, you’ll have some of the same symptoms as low-flow priapism. The main difference is that pain doesn’t occur with high-flow priapism.

Treatment for Priapism:

Treatments to help reduce your erection include:

• tablets or injections directly into your penis
• using a needle to drain blood from your penis, done while the area is numbed under local anaesthetic
• surgery to drain the blood through a tiny cut, done while you’re asleep under general anaesthetic
