Can priapism occur with Viagra?

Yes, it can. In extremely rare cases, Viagra may be associated with a very painful erection that is devoid of sexual pleasure. Known as priapism, this condition is a medical emergency and one needs to seek immediate medical help. The penis will remain erect and be painful. The color of the penis may range from dark blue to dusky brown. Priapism when not treated can lead to permanent damage to the penis. Therefore, you need to rush to the emergency center. Treatment varies but can involve surgery and/or medications.
