This study aims to present the management of priapism in adult men in Port
Harcourt, Nigeria. All patients who presented with priapism in 2 hospitals in
Port Harcourt from July 2007 to April 2014 were prospectively studied. Treatment
was assigned based on clinical presentation. Data analyzed included: age on
clinical presentation, risk factor, mode, and outcome of management. There were
18 patients aged 17 to 60 years (median age: 30 years). Three patients (16.7%)
presented with stuttering priapism. Most of the patients presented after 24 hours
of onset. Sixteen patients (89.9%) had hematological disorders. Five patients
(27.8%) took suspected aphrodisiac medications. Seven patients (38.9%) were
managed conservatively. The rest achieved detumescence following
glandulo-cavernous shunting. Erectile function after treatment was satisfactory
in 5 patients (27.8%). The commonest cause of priapism in Port Harcourt was
hematological disorder. Most of the patients presented late. Prevalence of
erectile dysfunction after treatment was high.
