Abstract：Objective To observe the diagnosis and treatment of priapism. Methods Twelve cases of priapism were included in this study. All the 12 eases were diagnosed as Low-flow priapism. Two underwent conservative therapy (penis was coated by an ice pack). Ten eases who failed conservative therapy underwent the other therapy that draws blood from the cavernosa which was irrigated by saline then; drugs were injected into the cavernosa. Specifically methylene blue was injected in two eases, with aramine in ten eases (2～10rag each). Two eases that had no response to ice pack or intracavernous injection underwent shunt surgery. The follow-up time ranged from Two months to 117 months. Results Twelve cases had no recurrence of priapism. Two eases died of leukemia at 4 and 12 months respectively. Conclusion History inquiry and physical examination are essential to the diagnosis and treatment of prapism. The prognosis is related with the erection time. Complications can be reduced with early diagnosis and proper treatment.
