Patient's question:
What is the reason for frequent abnormal erections, is it due to kidney deficiency?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Penile priapism refers to the prolonged and persistent erection of the penis without detumescence. This condition is more common in young and middle-aged adults, but it can also occur in other age groups. The causes are relatively complex. Local inflammation, injury, tumors, leukemia, and other conditions of the penis can trigger this disease, but in most cases, these possible underlying causes cannot be identified. Clinically, it is referred to as "induced" penile priapism. It is not due to kidney deficiency.
