Had Winters Shunt Procedure To Relieve Erection. Penis Not Returned To Normal Size. Painful. Cause?
I had a bout with priapism almost 30 days ago.....I had a winters shunt procedure done to help relieve my erection . At that time it was about 12 hours in. At this point my penis has not returned to its normal size ...although it is close I suppose. I am still having some pain...do you have any idea as to what may be causing this
Hello Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have undergone surgery for priapism 30 days back and getting pain in penis and the size of the penis has not reduced to normal.\ This is most likely to be due to issue reaction to a foreign body (stent) and localised inflammation around the stent. It takes 3-4 months to get it resolved. Take anti inflammatory medication like Diclofenac twice daily. It will get cured within 3-4weeks . Dr.Patil.
