Detumescence is the reversal of this process, by which blood leaves the erectile tissue, returning the erectile tissue to the flaccid state. [ 3 ] Something that causes an erection is sometimes referred to as a tumefier (tumefyer) or tumescer.

On the contrary, stuttering priapism can occur spontaneously at any time of the day, but more commonly so during REM sleep. SP is a subtype of ischemic priapism that is characterized by recurrent, self-limiting, painful erections that often require maneuvers (compression, cold packs or a cold shower, voiding, or exercise, etc.) to aid detumescence.
The internal anatomy of the human vulva, with the clitoral hood and labia minora indicated as lines.. The clitoris is the homolog to the penis in the male. Similarly, the clitoris and its erection can subtly differ in size.

Its fibers diverge; the most posterior form a thin layer, which is lost on the inferior fascia of the urogenital diaphragm; the middle fibers encircle the bulb and adjacent parts, of the corpus cavernosum urethrae, and join with the fibers of the opposite side, on the upper part of the corpus cavernosum urethrae, in a strong aponeurosis; the anterior fibers, spread out over the side of the ...
3D medical animation still showing skin grafting in case of penile injury. Degloving and avulsion injuries involve the removal of the penis skin, which is a serious medical emergency.
The table beside 'Functions' which describes how various organs are affected by the SNS states that the penis has detumescence inhibited by the SNS. Based on my reading ( [ 1 ] ) this seems to be misleading as it normally plays a role in causing detumescence, not necessarily inhibiting it.
