Abstract
Idiopathic recurrent priapism may be explained by underlying hemolytic anemia associated with G6PD deficiency. Several possible mechanisms exist to explain this association, including hyperviscosity, direct endothelial dysfunction secondary to bare hemoglobin vasculotoxicity, and relative nitric oxide deficiency causing vasoconstriction and vascular smooth muscle proliferation.
