Exploring the Clinical Landscape of Priapism Related to Intracavernosal Injection Therapy: Patient Characteristics, Management Patterns, and Erectile Dysfunction Outcomes
ICI-induced priapism represents a significant clinical challenge, with the duration of priapism varying markedly between in-office, prescribed, and recreational use. The high rate of ICI discontinuation following priapism suggests a substantial impact on ED management decisions. The association between recreational use and adverse outcomes, including de novo ED, identifies an important area for clinical outreach and risk mitigation strategies.
