Dr. Zamip Patel speaks at the 10th Annual Sickle Cell Warriors Convention in Houston in July

ORLANDO, Fla. - July 13, 2023 - PRLog -- Again this year, the Sickle Cell Consortium is holding the Annual Sickle Cell Warriors Convention, this time in Houston, Texas, from July 18th to July 23rd, 2023. Participants can register for the event at www.sicklecellconvention.org.

This annual event has been designed to educate, empower, and encourage the sickle cell patient and caregiver community. With the theme "Sickle Cell Excellence: Breaking Barriers", the Consortium continues its education of the Sickle Cell community.

The presenters this year include Dr. Zamip Patel, urologist in Orlando, Florida, who has been a long-standing supporter of the sickle cell community. His in-person presentation is scheduled for July 20, on "SC Men's Health: Physical (to include Priapism)." Priapism is a common complication in males with sickle cell disease, including children, adolescents, and adults. Repeated episodes of priapism may cause permanent damage to the male reproductive system.

States Dr. Zamip Patel, "I'm greatly honored to have been invited to this event, the invitation reflecting the Consortium's opinion that my expertise is helpful to the sickle cell community. For a long time, I have been an active supporter of the sickle cell community, and have tried to do my part to advance treatments of related conditions. This year's Warrior Convention is a unique opportunity to once again share the newest research in this regard."
