To examine the distribution, clinical characteristics, and management of priapism in a Saudi Arabian tertiary care setting to provide a regional perspective.
This retrospective chart review included 29 male patients presenting with priapism at a tertiary care hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from January 2011 to June 2023. Data were collected on patient demographics, clinical presentation, treatment modalities, and outcomes.
The study found recurrent episodes of priapism in many patients, with a significant number associated with hematological diseases, notably sickle cell disease. Most treatments involved non-surgical methods. A notable finding was the correlation between the duration of priapism episodes and the likelihood of hospital admissions, suggesting that prolonged episodes often required more extensive medical attention.
Priapism often presents as a chronic and recurrent condition requiring personalized management strategies. This study emphasizes the importance of recognizing regional occurrence patterns to enhance the management of priapism and suggests a need for further research in regions where this condition is less common.
在沙特阿拉伯的三级医疗环境中研究阴茎异常勃起的分布、临床特征及管理，以提供区域视角。
这项回顾性病历审查纳入了2011年1月至2023年6月期间在沙特阿拉伯利雅得一家三级医院就诊的29例阴茎异常勃起男性患者。收集了患者的人口统计学数据、临床表现、治疗方式及结果。
研究发现许多患者存在阴茎异常勃起复发情况，其中相当一部分与血液系统疾病有关，尤其是镰状细胞病。大多数治疗采用非手术方法。一个显著发现是阴茎异常勃起发作持续时间与住院可能性之间的相关性，这表明发作时间延长通常需要更广泛的医疗关注。
阴茎异常勃起常表现为慢性复发性疾病，需要个性化管理策略。本研究强调认识区域发病模式对加强阴茎异常勃起管理的重要性，并表明在该疾病不太常见的地区需要进一步研究。
