Priapism: Overview
Priapism is a prolonged erection that occurs in the absence of sexual stimulation. The condition can last for several hours. Not only is priapism inconvenient, embarrassing, and uncomfortable, it can also damage the tissue of the penis.
Priapism may be caused by a blood clot, leukemia, blood disorder, sickle cell disease, tumor, or infection. However, priapism can also be a side effect of medication. The popular erectile dysfunction or "impotence" drug Viagra may cause priapism.
