Patient's question:
Penile abnormal erection. Glans redness. Swelling and pain. Sexual intercourse discomfort. Examination and test results: Urinalysis shows blood. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Treated for balanitis? Wondering what the disease is.Doctor's answer:
Penile priapism refers to a persistent state of penile erection unrelated to sexual desire. If the penile erection persists for less than 6 hours, it is diagnosed as abnormal penile erection. Abnormal penile erection has no relation to sexual desire, and the penis remains erect even after ejaculation. If not treated promptly, it can lead to permanent premature ejaculation. It is generally believed that abnormal penile erection should be addressed urgently within 12 hours, and typically not exceeding 24 hours. The principle of treatment is to initially adopt conservative measures. If successful, surgical treatment can be performed to restore normal cavernous blood circulation, allowing the abnormal erection to subside and restoring normal sexual function.
