About 6 years ago I experienced a 6 - hour priapism that caused lasting damage on my penis. The irony is that this was caused by an injection given to me for a diagnostic doppler examination, to rule out venous leakage during a period of weaker erections.

I am interested to listen to the stories of other people who have experienced priapism, and what was the impact it had on their penis, and ultimately in their lives.

Please share your stories!

I didn't have priapism, thank god, because that is a medical emergency. You never wait around on something like that because it can cause permanent irreversible damage and ED. But, I once took a sleeping aid, trazadone, which a psychiatrist gave me. I started getting these weird inappropriate erections. By inappropriate I mean, nothing was going on in my head to make this happen. I told the doc about this later (it never went to full on priapism) and he said, ,,When you get home I want you to throw all those trazadone pills in the garbage and never take one again! That's a rare but known side effect in some men and, if you get priapism, you're not going to like the treatment for it." So, I dumped those pills and never took another. I don't know how they treat it (this guy didn't say), but I assume they put a hole in you and drain the blood out. Yuk.

Thanks for your response Jan.schaller1958.

It will be nice to hear from more people that have experienced priapism of any duration.

It will be nice to share our experiences, any impact it had on the penis, no matter how severe may be, and life after that, so that we can help each other in any way.

Looking forward to hear to more personal stories.

Thank you in advance guys!

You're welcome KC2.

I didn't really have priapism but it was very weird. It could have turned into priapism but I guess I was lucky. It was like all of the sudden you just start getting an erection for no reason. The erectile dysfunction drugs like Cialis or viagra have a warning on them that that can be a side-effect of them. But, I've never heard of anyone having any trouble with them like that. They only work when you have appropriate mental stimulation, I suppose except at night. Like even if you are full of Cialis or viagra but your mind is not on anything sexual, like you look at your cat, nothing is going to happen. So, they work the way they are supposed to.

At to the treatment for priapism, the way that doctor I knew described it, I thought they drilled some holes in your penis to drain the blood out (I had images in my mind of something pretty unpleasant like that, but I don't think it's that dramatic. Don't they just have an injection they can put into the penis that will reverse the erection? )

Yeah, you don't want priapism. I heard after 4 hours you can damage permanently the erectile blood vessels, and then be rendered permanently with ED and wind up needing an implant.

I'd like to hear from people too who actually experienced priapism, but it could be fairly rare to find such person, so few guys here may have ever had it. You know, you said a doctor induced an erection on you 6 years ago for diagnostic purposes that ended up causing you permanently penile damage?  Did you seek out a good solicitor over this, because your story just screams ,,medical malpractice" all over the place? Did you report that dummy who did this to the GMC? Maybe he's got some great defense, I don't know, but why he let you wind up with a 6 hour erection? Every doctor should know how dangerous that is. That's pretty basic stuff everyone knows, non-doctors alike.

I had Piraprism, it was a 3'30 min extremely painful erection due to a Trimix injection done at Summit Male Medical in Tempe Arizona, they told me to put the erection down after 4 hours but the pain was extreme that I had to use the antidote to put my erection down after 3 hours and a half. Now I have permanent damage that is turning my life into a nightmare, I tried to sued the "clinic" and no one is taking my case, I wrote a review on the "clinic" site and they erase it, the owner of the "clinic" called me a liar over the phone and my case is not being reported anywhere, my life is ruined because of the wrong information. If they just told me that if I have a painful erection I should take Sudafed right away instead of telling me only take Sudafed after 4 hours my penis would still be NORMAL, I'm been disfigured by a Trimix injection
My first symptoms started early in 2019
I tried Traction device, Pentofixiline, Q10, TRT, L-Argenine, cialis
I have narrowing/dent/hinge on the left side of my shaft
My ED is getting worse

For all the guys out there that we being damaged for life for not getting the right information for the effects of Paraprism after Trimix injections we should do something about it, I'm sick and tired of being ignored by lawyers and Doctors that don't think that having a disfigured penis for life is a big deal, the cases have to be reported so at least people can be informed properly what to do if you have a painful erection that  doesn't go away after 2 hours is a medical emergency, not 4 hours.

Can you give a bit more details about what you mean about your penis being disfigured?

Do you have internal scars?
Can you feel anything like a scar?
Do you have a burning feeling in your penis or a shooting pain?
Do you have erectile dysfunction?

If your erection was less than 4 hours then you shouldn't have any problems according to the guidelines.

I agree though with you that action must be taken earlier , within 2 hours and not 4 hours. I think this has to do with keeping the injection medications in the market. If the guidelines were saying that action must be taken within 2 hours then nobody will be using these medications, because the injections cause erections even for old and sick men for about 3- 4  hours minimum.

FYI my erection lasted 6 hours before going down by itself.

I have a small scar which causes a bit of pain when the penis is
erected and also some ED.

My biggest complaint though is the almost constant sensation of burning and aching in my penis which has compromised the quality of my life. It prevents me from enjoying simple life pleasures and being myself for the last 8 years now.

I have bad ED since the Piraprism episode, and this is how my penis looks like now.

Some articles mention Piraprism as " painful erection without sexual estimulation regardless the time", that is what happened to me, extremely painful erection without sexual estimulation for almost 4 hours. That is why I'm extremely angry at the clinic for only mentioning the 4 hour erection but never mentioned pain!!!! They are responsible for my situation fir not informing of the difference between Ischemic Piraprism vs non Ischemic Piraprism.

Do you have photos of how your penis looked before?

Yes it seems there is an indentation from the photos you send.

Do you feel any plague though there?

Do you have any pain?

I have an indentation similar to yours when flaccid at about the same point on the penis even on the same side, but if I have a good erection with Cialis, this indentation is not obvious in the erected state, although I feel that area a bit stretched.

I do not have pictures from before unfortunately. If you don't have problems with erections and no dent with an erection consider yourself lucky. That Piraprism episode didn't affected you as much

KC2, was your erection painful during the Piraprism episode? My erection was very painful just after 1 hour of the Trimix shot, after 3 hours of the erection my pain was extreme but I wasn't worry because of what the clinic said to ONLY WORRY after 4 hours of an erection, never mention pain, well is too late for me, I have permanent damage for the rest of my life

I've had a priapism unfortunately. I injured my penis in 2018, can't really recall the event too greatly. I didn't take much notice, it worked ok afterwards no real cause for concern. There was no major bruising. I just missed the target drunk. I didn't even know fracturing your penis was an actual thing. Months down the line it would hurt a little if I had too much sex (like 3 times in a day) but a days rest always put things right. Forward a year to 2019 I went on antidepressants because my ex stopped me seeing my kids. (We had split up about 4 years previously) The antidepressants were called trazodone!!!! I highly recommend nobody ever taking these EVER. I wish I had thrown them in the garbage too... I suffered a priapism as a side effect to the drug which lasted about 4 hours, it was the scariest thing of my life. Woke up to my penis throbbing! Very painful. Went to A&E and luckily it went down on its own without intervention. My penis felt so sore afterwards. I was worried I'd never get an erection ever again. Doctor said it wouldn't of done any damage as it was only 4 hours. It was sore for a few days afterwards with a noticeable crescent shaped lump wrapped around the right side of my penis. (This must of been the original fracture site) which was made worse by the 4 hour long erection... My erections came back to full capacity a week later but whilst flaccid it would lean to the right handside with some hour glassing. (This hourglass look really freaks me out) When erect it straightens out. No pain.... Forward two more years to the present day. I have a lovely girlfriend who loves me and wants to stand by me, but I'm an absolute mess. Why? I'm in pain. Erections seem ok, I can get an erection and it's relatively straight but with a soft crescent shaped lump. (If I press my fingers along the shaft where the lump is, it's dented slightly) I can actually enjoy sex but after my erection goes I'm ok for a few hours but then I'm in constant pain. Everyday pain on the right handside of my penis but it's never ending. It's always there. It's crushing me mentally. I don't want to masturbate or have sex anymore because I know it will be worse afterwards. I'm 37 years old and feel like my life is over (I know I'm being dramatic) but can't help it. I feel less of a man. I can't believe my luck. The urologist thinks because I can get an erection and there's no hard plaque it's all good but it's not when 99% of the time it feels sore. It's a constant reminder. I think if I had the priapism alone I would of been fine but because I injured it before hand the priapism has just exasperated the problem. Would love some advice but after living with this for years now. I already know it's not going to change. I'm left with a considerable scar on the right side which constricts the blood flow.

I'm been reading extensively articles about Piraprism, if you have a painful erection over two hours you must start to take Sudafed, after 4 hours is a medical emergency because is when the damage of the penile tissues start!!!. Well, the "clinic" that destroyed me said on their paper that I should start taking Sudafed after 4 hours of an erection!!!!. Basically "Summit Male Medical in Tempe AZ" have no idea about what they are doing, they damaged for life because they didn't take their time to know about Trimix induced Piraprism, they completely don't follow the basic medical guidelines, once I get a proper diagnosis I'll try to sued them again

Ischemic Piraprism is a painful erection that requires treatment right away before the penis damage starts vs non Ischemic Piraprism the erection is not painful and there is no damage, this clinic obviously didn't know the difference between both, no time for them to do a little research

@James884 - I got a crescent like lump wrapped around the left side of my penis. The lump is at the site they gave me the injection. The symptoms/ discomfort, as well the type of lump I have, are very similar to yours and I hope there shall be a way in the future to make that constant discomfort go away. For the last 8 years I am living with this and still have not used to it or got over it. It is a constant reminder of a stupid decision of mine that drains out my energy and any happiness.

It's awful isn't it. Honestly I can't stand this anymore. Like you said it drains all my happiness. I honestly know why the male suicide rate is by far higher than women's. It's because we get something wrong with our dicks and as a man it leaves us feeling worthless.

I work in the cold and my circulation isn't the best. I always have cold hands/feet (penis) lol... I actually think this has added to my problem. I should start running to improve my cardiovascular.

Is there anything at all what helps your dull pain?

Hang in there buddy. Recently a work friend of mine was going through some difficulties in his life. He's 62. He told me he has sone other issues and made me swear I'd never repeat what he was about to tell me. He told me he has suffered with erectile disfunction since the age of 42. He burst out crying in front of me, and I mean true raw emotion. I consoled him. (This is a guy who is full of confidence who is always flirting at the age of 60, a massive alpha male) I never EVER in a million years would of thought this about him. He hid this well. He knows my nature and knew I would never make fun of him. You know when he broke down crying infont of me... I saw a mountain of a man. I saw this big alpha male with the weight of the world on his shoulders, and for a brief moment he showed me his hand of cards. The imagine of him crying and the raw emotion will live with me forever. This is also a man who has a severely disabled adult son. I hugged him so tight. He changed something in me that day. I went home and couldn't believe what he had told me. It gave me renewed hope that I can deal with my problem. That I'm not alone. I also shared my experience with him about the priapism and pain I'm in everyday. The moral of the story is... we are not alone. We all have our battles. And some of us are true real life warriors. Keep fighting my friend.
