Asosisasi Kejadian Priapismus Dengan Riwayat Penggunaan Antipsikosis

Abstract

Priapism is a urological emergency that requires immediate intervention. Priapism has a low prevalence rate in the general population, but has an increased risk in certain populations. There are various factors that increase the risk of priapism, namely in patients with hematological disorders, consumption of certain drugs, malignancies, and neurological disorders. Priapism due to drugs can be caused by Anti Psychotic Drugs (APD), antidepressants, antihypertensives, anticoagulants, alpha blockers, and some psychoactive substances. APD is estimated to account for half of drug-induced priapism cases. Because of this, to be more selective in prescribing certain drugs to patients, it is important for medical personnel to know the association between the incidence of priapism and APD. Methods: The author searches and selects journals related to the association of the incidence of priapism and APD through several research databases including ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, PubMed, and Wiley. The keywords used were "Priapismus", "Antipsycotic", and "Association". Results: Various studies have shown a significant association between the incidence of priapism and a history of APD consumption. APD accounts for 50% of drug-induced priapism. The combination of APD with other psychotropic drugs or other drugs increases the risk of developing priapism. Conclusion: The incidence of priapism has an association with a history of APD consumption.
