How can you fracture your penis?

The penis can only be fractured when it is in the erect taste. Although the fracture of the penis occurs very rarely, it still happens if an abnormal force is applied to the erect penis. The fracture means a tear in the thick fibrous coat surrounding the tissue that produces an erection. If the penetration during sexual intercourse is violent or slightly rough, or if the penis literally ‘misses’ the vagina and hits another body part, such as the female pubic bone, the force applied to the penis causes the fracture. This sort of injury during sexual intercourse is very rare, but there are such cases. Therefore, men shouldn’t be afraid to seek medical assistance. Penile fracture makes a cracking noise and is accompanied with pain in the penis. The penis is usually fractured on one side, only rarely on both sides. In some cases, the injury can extend into the urethra. Penile fracture can also occur during masturbation. In most cases, these injuries occur because of hiding an erection, when a man wants to hide his erect penis so as to carelessly bend it downwards.

Symptoms of the fractured penis

In addition to the sound and pain, penile fracture also causes bruising or internal bleeding. The penis can be slightly deformed and the testes are swollen. After a few minutes, a minor lump may appear on the penis. It the injury extends into the urethra, the result is the presence of blood in the urine.

What do you do in case of penile fracture?

Naturally, you immediately need to stop having sexual intercourse or masturbation and press a cold compress on your injured penis on the way to a health care centre or a hospital. Although it may be uncomfortable to talk to the doctor, it is very important that you describe the circumstances in which the fracture occurred. Then, a very quick surgical procedure is performed to stop internal bleeding and treat the tear. The surgeon immobilises the penis and wraps a bandage around it so that it heals properly. After the surgery, you have to take anti-inflammatory painkillers and abstain from sexual intercourse until your penis heals completely. If the doctor’s instructions are followed, there is no chance of having any problems in the future.

What happens if a man does not seek medical assistance?

If a man does not go to the doctor, the injury will heal itself, but there is a chance that the tissue will no longer have its biomechanical properties, which can also result in erectile dysfunction. Doctors say that if a man treats penile fracture himself, there is a 29 to 52 per cent possibility that he will have problems later. Damage to the urethra is often overlooked and you can also suffer from abscess, painful erections, bent penis, painful sexual intercourse, problems with erections, or infections. If you do not seek medical assistance, you can suffer from internal bleeding and bruising. Therefore you need to overcome the feelings of shame and definitely see your doctor in case of penile fracture.

Doctors are familiar with such cases

As doctors and surgeons are well familiar with cases of penile fracture, there is no need to feel ashamed and unpleasant. It can occur almost in every sexual position, and according to doctors, it most often happens to young and very sexually active men. According to doctors, the tension in the hospital is usually eased by both patients and doctors who put the blame to huge amounts of passion.
