2 years ago on july 4th out of nowhere i started having priapism(unsual erections) I ended up goin to the hospital and they had to deflate it by draning blood from it. Less then a week later it happen again. none of the dr'a no urelogist seem to have any answers as to why this happen and continues ot happen to me out of nowhere. every reason they have gone over to why it just started doesnt apply to me. History of sickle cell, drugs, using viagra, pumps or cockrings none of these apply. nor does expereincing trauma to the genital or groin area. I started taking sudafed on a weekly basis and it seems to keep it down and not cause the erections to go to long.. however sudafed over the long haul can cause heart problems. I am only 38 and i'm afraid why ca't anyone help me in finding this problem and solution. The only other solution as far as other then sudafed is a sugery. This surgery however could caused impotency and is very invasive. someone please help

i have just read a few sites regarding priapism. there are no indications that surgery could cause impotency. they report that surgery usually works. years ago i had a patient when i worked in a hospital as a nurse, that had priapism, and the doctors felt at that time it was pressure on a nerve in the spinal cord. he has successful surgery. i believe you are being seen by a urologist, and it would not hurt you to know exactly what operation they would do for you, and the risks involved. a second opinion may be helpfull. below is a link for you to read that might be helpfull. good luck to you,

Hello =)
I know this must be terrible and painful, as well as potentially damaging to you, but...
God, I wish I had that problem........
No, there are other options.. There are blood pressure pills that could work for you, if your BP is high enough to withstand the decrease. You need to discuss this option with an internist instead of your family doctor, or urologist. Only an internist has the multi-system knowledge to make that connection. I'm sure that your family doctor can suggest one to you.
Have you tried using it to have sex, and then using the refraction to deflate the erection??
Namaste, and Happy Holidays.

The side effects of the sudafed (abnormal heart rhtymn) is considered very rare. Check out these links see if they help! Itis either sudafed or surgery it sounds like to me
