Priapism is a rare or uncommon disorder, but its sudden attacks make it a medical emergency that should be treated timely to prevent the complications. It is a male disorder that affects their Penis. Priapism is of two types Ischemic and Non-Ischemic, out of which one is more painful than the other. But both the conditions need a proper and timely treatment. General treatment for this condition includes injecting the medications in the affected part or operating it to terminate the problem. But, an alternative treatment is far better than the general one that avoids the painless surgery and helps the person to get rid of the disease through a natural way.
As already introduced briefly Priapism is a male disorder in which the penis gets affected. The disorder is basically related with the blood circulation in the penis causing unwanted and abnormal prolonged erection. Normally the penis erection occurs due to the physical or emotional stimulation, causing an increase in the blood flow to the penis and making it normal as soon as the stimulation ends. Hence, the root cause is directly related to the blood circulatory process. It happens in two different conditions, which further called as two types of Priapism. To understand the main difference between the both, let us have a brief introduction to them.
Ischemic Priapism – It is also known as low-flow Priapism as in this condition the blood get accumulated in a particular chamber of the penis causing persistent and painful erection for long hours. It lasts for more than four hours without any sexual stimulation. This type of Priapism involves severe pain.
Non-Ischemic Priapism – Non-Ischemic Priapism is also called as high-flow Priapism in which there is an improper circulation of blood in the penis due to a broken artery. As the blood does not accumulate anywhere but circulates unnaturally, thus, it causes less pain than the ischemic Priapism. The time for lasting erection is between a few min. to four hours.
As here we are discussing about the treatment options available for Non-Ischemic Priapism, so let us focus on that deeply.
We have already understood the main concept of Non-Ischemic Priapism in the above part. To have more detailed information about this disease and its treatment. We need to understand some related points such as the symptoms, causes and the complications of the disease.
Some of the signs and symptoms of Non-Ischemic Priapism are similar to that of Ischemic Priapism, but the time factor and level of pain differs. The most common symptoms that can be seen in the patients of low-flow Priapism are:
As we are talking about the blood flow again and again and it is clear till now that the root cause for the disease is improper blood circulation in the penis. So, the causes for the abnormal blood flow will be ultimately the causes of Non-Ischemic Priapism. The factors responsible for the unnatural blood circulation may include the following:
The complications of untreated Non-Ischemic Priapism can be severe. The most common complication is conversion of Non-Ischemic Priapism to Ischemic Priapism. Non-treatment of Non-Ischemic or High-flow Priapism can consequently damage the tissues in the penis resulting in the oxygen-deprived blood flow. This further can damage or destruct the penile tissues permanently leading to chronic erectile dysfunction or disfigurement of the penis.
A proper treatment of any disease can only be done when diagnose is done correctly. For diagnosing the Non-Ischemic Priapism, generally the symptoms and the physical examination of the genital area is enough, but to be surer some medical tests are recommended by the medical professionals.
Blood Tests – It is to check for the platelet count, any blood disorder or other diseases.
Blood Gas Measurement – The blood sample for this test is collected by directly inserting a needle inside the penis. It is to understand the type of Priapism after knowing the level of oxygen present in the blood flow in the penis.
Toxicology Test – It is done by collecting urine sample to check the presence of any drug, if consumed recently.
Ultrasound – This is done to measure the blood flow in the penis and to determine whether there is any injury or not, which can be the underlying cause of Priapism.
