💨 Abstract

Prolonged erections, known as priapism, can be dangerous and potentially life-threatening, causing pain, necrosis, and even amputation. This condition occurs when blood flow to the penis is impaired, lasting over four hours and not related to sexual activity. Types include ischemic (due to blood not leaving the penis) and non-ischemic (damaged blood flow from arteries).
