A member asked:

If person had prispism once before due to meds,is there a possibility that caffeine can induce it to happen again ? can caffeine cause blood to stay ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: actually, caffeine and other stimulants REDUCE blood flow, and actually can be used to treat priapism caused by other drugs. There are reports that the combination of caffeine and alcohol can be associated with priapism, but it is not clear to me that this association is real.

Dr Minich and another doctor agreed
