"Doktor, saya ada masalah besar. Zakar saya dah 4 jam tegang. Tak boleh turun! Macam mana ni, doktor?"

Kalau sebut kesihatan lelaki, biasanya orang fikir tentang ereksi lemah atau tak lama. Sebenarnya ada juga masalah ereksi berpanjangan.

Ia dinamakan priapism. (thread) Image
Priapism ni masalah kesihatan seksual yang serius. Ia kondisi bila zakar tegang (erected) berjam-jam tanpa sebab.

Priapism boleh berlaku pada lelaki berusia 20-50 tahun. Terdapat 2 jenis priapism, iaitu: ischemic dan non-ischemic.
Ischemic priapism berlaku bila darah tak boleh keluar dari zakar. Non-ischemic priapism pula berlaku bila ada peningkatan aliran darah ke zakar.

Priapism boleh menyebabkan kesan buruk seperti sakit, kehilangan fungsi seksual dan jangkitan. Rawatan secepat mungkin sangat penting.
