Anxiety related to sexual abuse: A case of recurrent priapism.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.
