PRIAPISM IN BOYS AND MEN: INCIDENCE AND PREVENTION

这个子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和调查员(PI)可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可能会出现在其他CRISE条目中。列出的机构是针对中心的，而不一定是针对调查员的机构。这项研究的目的是更多地了解一种名为异常勃起的疾病，这是镰状细胞疾病的并发症。阴茎勃起时，阴茎内的红细胞呈镰刀状，导致勃起，这是痛苦的，持续时间比正常勃起更长。除了引起疼痛，阴茎异常勃起还会导致阴茎损伤。有许多关于异常勃起的事情是不被理解的。我们想知道男性和男孩有这种问题的频率，以及它可能与一天中的时间、活动或药物有什么关系。我们还想知道日记是否是监测和记录异常勃起发生的好方法。如果我们对异常勃起有更多的了解，我们可能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.
