Patient's question:
Why does the penis frequently have 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 of this condition are relatively complex. Local inflammation, injury, tumors, leukemia, and other factors can trigger this disease, but in most cases, these possible causative factors cannot be identified. Clinically, it is referred to as idiopathic priapism. It is not due to kidney deficiency.
