Editing Priapism (section)

===Complications===
Because [[ischemia|ischemic]] priapism causes the blood to remain in the penis for unusually long periods of time, the blood becomes deprived of oxygen, which can cause damage to the penile tissue. Such damage can result in [[erectile dysfunction]] or disfigurement of the penis.<ref>{{cite web | title= Priapism - Symptoms and Causes | publisher= [[Mayo Clinic]] | url= http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/priapism/basics/complications/con-20029378 | access-date= 2014-08-30 | url-status= live | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20140806005205/http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/priapism/basics/complications/con-20029378 | archive-date= 2014-08-06}}</ref> In extreme cases, if the penis develops severe vascular disease, the priapism can result in penile [[gangrene]].<ref>{{cite journal | title= Penile Gangrene: An Unusual Complication of Priapism in a Patient with Bladder Carcinoma | last1= Ajape | first1= A.
