Dear Ask The Doctor: Hello my child who is 06 years old start to have painful erctins that last for 02-03 minutes now start to be 03 times a day he is otherwise healthy is this priapism? what is the treament thank you in advance
Dear Ahmed: It seems that your son is suffering from priapism although by definition priapism is a painful erection lasting for more than four hours. Priapism is often associated with blood diseases such as Sickle Cell anemia and Thalassemia. It is best to take your son to a pediatrician and have this checked out. There are various treatment options that can be employed in acute cases which include both surgical and non-surgical procedures. |
