In most cases Cheap Blank Jersey , a guy would hardly consider a tumescent male organ to be a crisis. Sure, occasionally popping a noticeable boner while giving a presentation or when meeting a partner s parents can be embarrassing or awkward, but it s hardly an emergency. However, when that hardness is due to priapism Cheap Blaise Matuidi Jersey , things are quite different. A man needs to take steps in order to maintain his male organ health and deal with the pain that accompanies priapism.

What is priapism?

Priapism is named after the Greek fertility god, Priapus, who was known for always sporting a very large, permanently tumescent male organ. It is defined as a medical condition in which a man s member remains fully firm for an extended period of time typically four or more hours. While some men might joke that having a raging tumescence for four or more hours would be a dream come true Cheap Benedikt Howedes Jersey , true priapsim is no joking matter. When a man has a constant boner, the process by which the manhood is kept firm for so long can cause a considerable amount of pain. It also can do significant damage to the member.

Why does it happen?

Priapism comes in two forms: ischemic and non-ischemic. Ischemic means the condition is caused by the blood getting trapped in the male organ while it is tumescent and being unable to flow back into the body when the normal period of activity has passed. Nonischemic priapism results when there is a vascular hitch that impedes but does not totally stop the flow of blood. The nonischemic variety tends to produce excited reactions which are softer and don t create much pain or damage.

Nonischemic cases tend to result from trauma such as a blow to a hard male organ and are usually treated with ice packs on the perineum.

The vast majority of cases of priapism are ischemic. Ischemic instances can come from a variety of causes. Sickle cell disease and sickle cell trait are a leading cause, affecting up to 64% of men with sickle cell. The sickle shape of the blood cells can cause them to stop up the flow, creating the painfully tumescent male organ.

Other causes include medications (including those used to treat tumescence dysfunction) Cheap Andrea Barzagli Jersey , cocaine, heroin, alcohol and certain spider bites.

Beyond pain

Beyond the pain and inconvenience associated with a persistent firmness, priapism can damage the delicate manhood tissue. When the blood remains trapped in the member Cheap Alex Sandro Jersey , it loses a significant amount of oxygen, which in turn degenerates the tissue. This can have short and long-term effects on male organ function. In rare cases, surgery may be required.
