Partial priapism of the penis: A case report and review
Abstract
A 38-year-old healthy man attended the emergency department with a two-week history of significant perineal discomfort and swelling. The week prior to the initiation of the symptoms, the patient had undertaken an intense gym routine which involved training daily for seven days. A significant portion of this exercise regime involved cycling on an exercise bike. This gentleman had no other significant past medical history, and no other significant risk factors were elicited from the patient’s history.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
