Abstract
Priapism is a urologic emergency. All patients should receive prompt urologic consultation. Management is based on prompt recognition, differentiation between low- and high-flow priapism, reversal of any potential precipitating factors, and the use of corporal aspiration/irrigation combined with intracavernosal alpha-agonist injection therapy. It cannot be over-emphasized that severely prolonged erections are associated with the development of irreversible problems with erectile function and, therefore, immediate and aggressive management is mandatory.
