Brief Summary: Priapism a prolonged erection of the penis is a medical issue that often affects men with sickle cell disease The purpose of this study is to collect demographic and clinical information on priapism by interviewing men with sickle cell disease
Detailed Description: Priapism is a prolonged painful erection of the penis that lasts for more than four hours and occurs without sexual stimulation It occurs when blood in the penis becomes trapped and is unable to drain properly If it is not treated immediately it can lead to scarring and permanent erectile dysfunction Many cases of priapism are the result of sickle cell disease approximately 42 of all adults with sickle cell disease will eventually develop priapism Current treatments include medication ice packs or surgery More research is needed to better understand the demographic and clinical characteristics of priapism The purpose of this study is to collect information and further characterize priapism by conducting interviews with men with sickle cell disease In turn these findings may guide future priapism clinical trials

This study will consist of two standardized questionnaires that will be administered to 1650 men with sickle cell disease Participants will complete an initial five-item questionnaire about priapism If a participant indicates past experience with priapism on this initial questionnaire he will be asked to complete a second questionnaire This questionnaire will ask in-depth questions to further characterize the participants episodes of priapism If health issues such as drug use harmful sexual behaviors or impotence are identified upon reviewing the questionnaire clinic staff will suggest care options and provide appropriate referrals to the participants All participants will receive an educational brochure about priapism and compensation for completing the questionnaires
