Q: i heard about clitoral priapism why does it happen and how do i avoid it?

: Male priapism is rare and female priapism is even rarer. Women have this very rare condition are usually on certain medications such as Trazodone or medications with a strong alpha- adrenergic blockade effect. If you are not taking any medication you should not worry about this rare problem at all.
