Abstract

Priapism is a persistent penile erection that continues for more than 4 hours beyond, or is unrelated to, sexual stimulation. Because priapism is a medical emergency, all patients with priapism should be evaluated and treated urgently. Subtypes of priapism are ischemic, non-ischemic and stuttering priapism. Stuttering type is a recurrent form of ischemic priapism in which unwanted painful erections occur repeatedly with intervening periods of detumescence. The etiology of this type is often idiopathic and the treatments are still not clearly established. We present one case of stuttering priapism which occurred after suppression of his sexual desire. A 23-year-old man visited our clinic complaining of recurrent pain and erections persisting for about 5 weeks. We performed evaluation and confirmed the diagnosis of Rigid swollen penis. Jibaekjihwang-tang gamibang (ZhiBaiDihuang-Tang Jiaweifang) was administerd to the patient for 9 days. After the treatment, duration of erections and pain showed remarkable improvements. This will be recorded as the first case report of treating priapism with a Korean medical approach and suggests that Korean medicine therapy can be efficient to treat priapism.
