Priapism event

[luv2hunt8]

I’m having priapism going on 16 hours . I finally am on my way to the ER. What should I expect? This is my first post sorry it had to be about this!

Tell us what dose did you take? And best of luck.

Welcome to the forum.

I'm sure we'd all like to hear the outcome if you'd care to share.

I take Trimix 10 units which was working about 1/2 the time. So, instead of bumping it up 1 or 2 units I went right to 15. I've had some medium priapism 2-5 hours in the past but this time scared me. By the time I was treated at the ER it had been a full 24 hours. I'm glad I went now...damn that was uncomfortable. First I got an IV for fluids and meds and I knew then this was more serious than I realized. Next was 2 shots in the base of the penis to numb for syringes that followed. Then they inserted a Big @rse needle into each side of the cavernosa to draw the trapped blood out. Then each side of the cavernosa received a shot to open the blood vessels. Yes it worked!! Hopefully no damage but I'm going to be black and blue for awhile plus a big puffy sack of trapped blood between the skin and lining. I don't ever want to go through that again and I will go VERY slowly when making dose adjustments in the future. Don't jump up the dose too fast! -brm

What was the prognosis given by the doctor?

I'm sure they cautioned you about waiting so long next time.

I'm no medical professional but I believe inconsistent results where it varies from excellent results to failed results is usually due to injection technique and not the dose itself.

Good luck. Glad you made it home reasonably quickly.

What is your script of trimix? Glad it’s over for you.
