Priapism in Utah

Discreet, Professional Help for Painful or Persistent Erections Without Surgery

A prolonged or painful erection can be alarming—and if it doesn’t go away on its own, it may be a medical condition called priapism. Whether you’re recovering from a recent episode or dealing with long-term effects, Reborn Pelvic Health & Wellness offers conservative, restorative treatment for men across Utah.

We provide non-invasive pelvic therapy that helps relieve pressure, restore function, and prevent recurrence—without medication dependency or risky procedures.

What Is Priapism?

Priapism is a condition where an erection lasts longer than four hours and isn’t related to sexual stimulation. It can be painful and may lead to long-term complications if not treated properly. There are two main types:

  • Ischemic (low-flow) priapism – caused by blood not being able to leave the penis, usually painful and urgent
  • Non-ischemic (high-flow) priapism – caused by uncontrolled blood flow, often after trauma and typically less painful

Either form can affect tissue health, nerve function, and future sexual performance if not addressed properly.

Symptoms of Priapism May Include:

  • Erection lasting longer than 4 hours
  • Pain or throbbing in the penis or perineum
  • Difficulty softening the erection even after climax
  • Swelling or tenderness
  • Numbness or tingling after the episode
  • Erectile dysfunction over time
  • Anxiety related to intimacy

If you’re recovering from priapism or experiencing ongoing symptoms, pelvic therapy may be the key to resolving underlying dysfunction and preventing future episodes.

What Causes Priapism?

  • Trauma or injury to the pelvis, perineum, or penis
  • Side effects of medications (ED meds, antidepressants, blood thinners)
  • Sickle cell disease or blood disorders
  • Neurological dysfunction
  • Vascular congestion and poor venous return
  • Pelvic floor muscle hypertonicity (tightness)

At Reborn, we assess how muscle tension, blood flow, and nerve function interact—and target the root causes, not just the symptoms.

How Reborn Pelvic Therapy Can Help

Traditional priapism treatment is reactive: injections, aspiration, or surgery. But at Reborn, we provide proactive, supportive therapy to:

  • Improve blood flow and lymphatic drainage in the pelvic floor
  • Release chronic muscular tension that may be constricting vascular pathways
  • Address scar tissue and adhesions that impair blood circulation
  • Normalize nerve signaling and reduce overactivity in pelvic nerves
  • Enhance postural and breathing patterns that regulate vascular pressure
  • Promote healing and tissue health following an acute episode

We also help with lingering symptoms such as pain, erectile dysfunction, or pelvic congestion that often go unaddressed.

What to Expect at Your Session

Your comfort and privacy are our top priorities. We begin with a thorough history, listen to your concerns, and create a care plan tailored to your needs.

Therapy may include:

  • Gentle fascial release
  • Neuromuscular retraining
  • Pelvic floor trigger point therapy
  • Scar tissue mobilization (if needed)
  • Postural and breathwork-based interventions
  • Guidance on supportive home care

All work is conducted in a respectful, clinical setting by therapists trained specifically in men’s pelvic health.

Absolutely fantastic!!! Every woman should know about this! I was experiencing UTI symptoms for several months and was diagnosed with painful bladder syndrome. I first heard about pelvic floor PT on Youtube and asked a friend who is a Doula about it. She recommended Betty DeLass. From the first visit she was able to recreate my symptoms and started working with me. I noticed improvements immediately. Seven sessions later and was practically symptom free. I go back in a week or two for a final session and then plan to get with her once a year for a little ‘tune-up”. Cannot say enough positive things about my experience. I highly recommend Betty!

I went in to see Dr. Betty for stress incontinence after having kids and the woman is a true magician. I can confidently run/jump/sneeze without leaking after a handful of appointments. I highly suggest seeing her asap. You won’t regret it.
