Abstract
Priapism is a urological emergency which is commonly classified into low-flow and high-flow priapism. Immediate intervention is required for low-flow cases as the development of ischaemia ultimately leads to long-term erectile dysfunction. Stuttering or recurrent priapism is less well understood. This subtype is characterised by short-lived painful erections and is commonly encountered in patients with sickle cell disease. A systematic review of the treatment options available for stuttering priapism is presented combined with our own experience in managing this condition over a period of 25 years. Although numerous medical treatment options have been reported, the majority are through small trials or anecdotal reports. Stuttering priapism is a condition which is still not well understood and there is no standardised algorithm for the management of this condition. A multicentre randomised trial is required to evaluate the treatment options.
