Summary
It is believed that when androgen (testosterone) levels are below normal there is a
disturbance of normal bodily functioning that is associated with priapism in some men.
Conversely, it is believed that testosterone replacement will improve the condition of
priapism when the testosterone levels are brought to normal. In turn, this will also improve
psychological well being in men with sickle cell disease (SCD).
