PRIAPISM IN BOYS AND MEN: INCIDENCE AND PREVENTION

该子项目是利用该技术的众多研究子项目之一 资源由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目及 研究者 (PI) 可能已从 NIH 的另一个来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中表示。列出的机构是 对于中心来说，它不一定是研究者的机构。 这项研究的目的是更多地了解一种称为阴茎异常勃起的疾病，这是镰状细胞病的一种并发症。 当阴茎内的红细胞镰刀状形成，导致勃起疼痛且比正常勃起持续时间更长时，就会发生阴茎异常勃起。 除了引起疼痛之外，阴茎异常勃起还会导致阴茎损伤。 关于阴茎异常勃起还有很多不为人理解的事情。 我们想了解男性和男孩出现此问题的频率以及它与一天中的时间、活动或药物的关系。 我们还想了解日记是否是监测和记录阴茎异常勃起发生的好方法。 如果我们更多地了解阴茎异常勃起，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.
