Quick rundown on the above case
>Man has recurring priapisms (erections that last and do not go away)
>He averaged 96 hours of priapism per year for 7 years
>His penis grows to a massive 18x16cm flaccid size
>No loss of function, no scar tissue
>The head of the penis and the erectile tissue surrounding the urinary tract were not enlargened
The author also writes:
Furthermore, repeated episodes of mild
hypoxia resulting from the transient partial venous
obstruction in our patient might have been a stimulus
for the hypertrophy of corpora cavernosa, because
hypoxia is known to result in hypertrophy of tissues.
Could priapisms perhaps be induced under controlled circumstances to induce growth of the penis like what happened to the patient in the above example? Keep in mind that there have also been many other cases where priapism has lead to extreme enlargening of the penis, so this is not an isolated incident.
Discuss.
