The penis is one of the end-artery organs in the human body. The blood supply of the penis depends on the internal pudendal artery, which arises from the anterior division of the internal iliac artery. Subsequently, the penis is one of the organs that are highly affected by peripheral vascular disease. Furthermore, erectile dysfunction is a clinical sign that might precede coronary heart disease. Artificial entrapment of the blood into the cavernous bodies is one of the treatment options for erectile dysfunction. In addition, the same concept might be utilized in some sex aids to increase self-pleasure; hence, penile rings are widely used in some cultures. We present here a case of metal penile ring entrapment, which was managed successfully with the help of the hospital maintenance team. Therefore, it is of tremendous importance in unusual cases to seek advice from all possible resources. Such complications should be highlighted to increase the awareness of the users and the medical professionals as well.
阴茎是人体的终末动脉器官之一。阴茎的血液供应依赖于阴部内动脉，该动脉起源于髂内动脉前支。随后，阴茎是受外周血管疾病影响较大的器官之一。此外，勃起功能障碍是可能先于冠心病出现的临床体征。将血液人工截留到海绵体内是勃起功能障碍的治疗选择之一。此外，相同的概念可能在一些性辅助器具中被用于增加自我愉悦感；因此，阴茎环在一些文化中被广泛使用。我们在此呈现一例金属阴茎环嵌顿病例，该病例在医院维修团队的帮助下成功得到处理。因此，在异常情况下向所有可能的资源寻求建议极为重要。此类并发症也应予以强调，以提高使用者和医学专业人员的认识。
