PRIAPISM IN BOYS AND MEN: INCIDENCE AND PREVENTION

该子项目是利用 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是 中心，不一定是研究者的机构。 这项研究的目的是了解更多关于阴茎异常勃起的情况，这是镰状细胞病的并发症。 阴茎异常勃起发生在阴茎内红细胞镰状化，引起勃起，疼痛，持续时间比正常勃起长。 除了引起疼痛，阴茎异常勃起还可能导致阴茎损伤。 关于阴茎异常勃起有很多事情还不清楚。 我们想了解男性和男孩有多频繁出现这个问题，以及它如何与一天中的时间，活动或药物有关。 我们也想知道日记是否是监测和记录阴茎异常勃起发生的好方法。 如果我们对阴茎异常勃起有更多的了解，我们也许能够更有效地治疗和预防它。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The purpose of this research study is to learn more about a condition called priapism, which is a complication of sickle cell disease. Priapism occurs when there is sickling of red blood cells inside a penis causing an erection which is painful and which lasts longer than normal erections. Besides causing pain, priapism can lead to damage to the penis. There are many things about priapism that are not understood. We would like to learn how often men and boys have this problem and how it may be related to time of day, activities or medicationss. We would also like to learn if diaries are a good method of monitoring and recording the occurrence of priapism. If we learn more about priapism, we may be able to treat and prevent it more effectively.
