It seems you would release enough to at least ease a lot of the pressure. I thought of this as an option.
OMG! ... don't ever consider such a thing! ... besides it would not work anyway. Take it from a guy who has been to the ER several times for an erection that would not go down. Long story short ... I watched the URO in the ER manually drain 40 cc of blood out, and less than one minute later my penis stood straight up again and fully erect. Injected meds are needed to counteract priapism (intracavernosal injections of phenylephrine) and in many cases manual draining is required.
I agree with the others ... limit the amount of Sudafed you take, and do not increase your Trimix dosage as much. If priapism ever occurs again (3-4 hrs.) go to the ER!
When priapism occurs the blood is unable to drain as it would normally. When the blood fails to circulate, it becomes stagnant and begins to lose oxygen. Without oxygen, red blood cells become stiff and thicken, making proper penis drainage even more problematic. The result: Penile fibrosis, the formation of scar tissue in the
main body of the penis. This often means permanent erectile dysfunction.
