Résumé
Erectile dysfunction is a dreadful complication of priapism especially with delay in diagnosis and management. The lack of awareness of priapism as a vaso-occlusive complication of sickle cell disease (SCD) is more concerning. The objective of this study was to evaluate the burden of priapism in adult Senegalese males adults with sickle cell disease. A cross-sectional study was carried out amongst consecutive consenting males aged 18 years and older with SCD presenting to the in Haematology Department of the National Blood Transfusion Centre (Dakar, Senegal). All participants completed a questionnaire detailing knowledge on the definition of priapism, its association with SCD, consequences of untreated priapism and treatment options. A total of 219 participants completed the questionnaire. The mean age of the respondents was 27.1 years with a range of (18-54). Of the respondents, 78.5% (n = 172) did not have any knowledge of the term "priapism". After the term was explained, 38.4% (n = 84) thought that there may be a risk of developing priapism given the diagnosis of sickle cell disease. Among the participants, 41.5% (n = 91) reported having a history of priapism. Among all patients who experienced priapism, 36.3% (n = 33) did not seek medical attention with episodes of priapism. It was found that 48.4% (n = 106) of the participants thought there may be a risk of irreversible complications associated with priapism and a corresponding proportion, 42% (n = 92) thought this risk was time dependent. 36.5% (n = 80) of patients believed priapism could lead to erectile dysfunction. Priapism is a common complication of sickle cell disease in Senegalese adults which is not well known by sickle cell patients. The health authorities must undertake efforts to raise awareness of priapism as a complication amongst sickle cell patients.
