  • Health and Care Research: Priapism

    The team “CanadianHealthCareMalll.Com” conducted research in this area and that’s what happened, read our article!

    Priapisms of primitive appearance (idiopathics)

    Some of these can be caused by: Priapism

    • Extended erotic performances;
    • Pathological psychic states (phantasms, fatigues, psychic traumatisms);
    • Cortical lesions, encephalitis, tumors;
    • Medullar alterations (strangulations, plaque sclerosis, tabes, tumors, tuberculosis);
    • Reflexes caused by local stimuli of vicinity (rarely the priapism can occur after an anal dilatation or an intestinal parasitosis).

    Secondary priapisms triggered by a common causal affection:

    • Leukemic priapisms with a frequency of twenty five-thirty percent;
    • Priapisms through the diminishment of the venous drainage because of the modification of the sanguine viscosity as in: hypercapnia, poliglobulitis, trombocytemia, anemia with phalciphorm cells (the first cause of priapism at black people);
    • The priapisms from hemophilia are rare;
    • Priapisms from the intoxication with lead, with carbon oxide.

    Priapisms through mechanical obstacle regarding the blood’s elimination from the cavernous bodies;

    • Traumatisms which give open wounds of the scrotum or penis, urethral contusions or scrotal;
    • Thrombophlebitis of the erectile bodies or of the efferent veins;
    • Cancer of the cavernous bodies. The primitive neoplazias are rarer incriminated in report with the metastatic infiltrations with the center in the vicinity of the urinary bladder, prostate, rectum or testicle. Are also quoted cases of metastases came from a distance (liver cancer, kidneys, lungs);
    • Some diseases that can lead to priapism are: enteric fever, malaria, tularemia, mumps, and tuberculosis or can occur as a complication in metabolic diseases (gout, hyperglycemia).

    Iatrogenic priapisms (medicinal):

    • Excessively administering aphrodisiacs (iohimbine, blister beetle);
    • The heparinotherapy is responsible for a third of the priapisms on the series published and have a gloomier prognostic than the secondary priapisms of other etiology;
    • Extended treatments with alpha-blockers, especially Prazosin (Minipress) for arterial hypertension. In this case, the priapism explains through the modification of the intracavernous vasomotricity. Using these types of medicines on the hemo-dialysis sick persons, associated or not with heparinotherapy, can give the priapism;
    • After intracavernous injections (IIC) with vasoactive substances, erectogene.

    This had become one of the treatments that are most used in the erectile impotence (it is also practiced autoinjection at will). The substances that are most used are the papaverine, the phenotolamine (or the association of both) and the Prostaglandine E1.

    Even though this therapeutic method is efficient in seventy-eighty five percent (17.33) has a great risk because can give a pharmacologically extended erection, hours or days, unpredictable, which does not depend either on the dosage, either on the IIC schedule and which if it is painful and extends over four hours becomes a true priapism.
