Abstract
Recurrent priapism is notoriously difficult to treat and very distressing to the sufferer. There is little literature about emotional contributors to this condition. We report a case of a man with sexual abuse and severe anxiety who responded acutely to emotion-focused treatment with persistent cessation of severe recurrent priapism episodes. A second case treated with the same method had a similar response to treatment. Emotional factors may be relevant in certain cases of recurrent priapism and these factors warrant clinical management and formal study.Entities:
