What is priapism?

Patient's question:

I have a female friend who studies medicine. Yesterday, we had sex for the first time. I don't know what field of medicine she is studying, but after we had sex, she told me that I have priapism and that she expects me to go to the hospital for treatment. But what exactly is priapism?

Doctor's answer:

Erectile dysfunction refers to the condition where the penis does not become firm or cannot achieve an erection before sexual activity. This condition requires timely medical attention and treatment, otherwise, it may hinder normal sexual life. You can choose to reduce psychological stress in your daily life, maintain a positive mood, engage in more outdoor activities, avoid foods that boost immunity, which helps in the recovery of the disease. Avoid smoking and drinking beer, and ensure a nutritious and balanced diet.
