Finasteride for Recurrent Priapism in Children and Adolescents: A Report on 5 Cases

The document reported on the use of finasteride for treating recurrent priapism in 5 children and adolescents. The study aimed to explore the effectiveness of finasteride, a medication typically used for other conditions, in managing this rare and distressing condition. The findings suggested that finasteride could be a promising treatment option for recurrent priapism in the pediatric population, as it appeared to reduce the frequency and severity of episodes in the cases studied. However, due to the small sample size, further research was needed to confirm these results and establish comprehensive treatment guidelines.
