ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Female priapism is a rare condition that is not commonly described in the literature. There are many treatment strategies for the management of priapism, including conservative and safe over-the-counter options.AIM:
To describe a case of a woman who presented with clitoral priapism, who was managed conservatively with a simple over-the-counter treatment plan.METHODS:
A 29-year-old gravida 0 para 0 presented to the emergency room with painful clitoral priapism lasting for 5 days. Despite cessation of the suspected causal agents, trazodone and wellbutrin, her symptoms persisted.RESULTS:
The patient was managed conservatively with analgesics and around-the-clock oral pseudoephedrine and experienced complete resolution of her symptoms.CONCLUSIONS:
Oral pseudoephedrine may be a reasonable option for certain patients, and may be considered as a first-line therapy and adjunct to conservative measures.Palavras-chave
