ORLANDO, FLORIDA, USA, June 15, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- On June 23 and 24, 2023, the Kids Conquering Sickle Cell Disease Foundation is holding the 2023 Sickle Cell & Chronic Pain Management Symposium, to be held online. The theme this year is Beyond Limits, Evolving with Possibilities. The event is open to the public, and tickets are available at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sickle-cell-chronic-pain-management-symposium-2023-tickets-627241866307

The Symposium offers a unique opportunity to learn about the latest advances in clinical care, transition services, and emerging new therapies including updates for curative treatment options. Thus, attendance is of great interest for the community of patients, care givers, health care providers, social workers, students and those with interest in sickle cell and chronic pain. But in fact, the Symposium is for anybody with an interest in chronic pain and sickle cell disease, to learn about the latest effective therapies bringing help and hope. Nurses and other health professionals may receive CE credits for attending the event.

At the Symposium, Dr. Zamip Patel, urologist in Orlando, Florida, will give a presentation on “Priapism in Sickle Cell Disease: Diagnosis, Treatment, & Management.” Explanatory note: Priapism (a penile erection in the absence of sexual activity or desire) is a common complication in males with sickle cell disease, including children, adolescents, and adults. Repeated episodes of priapism may cause permanent damage including erectile dysfunction.

Explains Dr. Patel, “I have been a supporter of the Kids Conquering Sickle Cell Disease Foundation, and am honored by the invitation to speak at the 2023 Symposium and share my experience as a medical doctor in this regard. Priapism affects approximately half of all men with sickle cell disease, however, so far there are few evidence-based treatment options that have been explored in the scientific literature. It is an important scientific matter to be researched more to eventually have consistent treatments.”

Dr. Patel’s presentation is scheduled for Saturday, June 24, at 1.00 pm in the afternoon. There will also be a question & answer time during which audience members can ask questions of Dr. Patel. To register for the event, go to https://bit.ly/3IXP1Ud
