The increased attention of the strong half of mankind to the "masculine dignity" in many people causes smiles. However, the penis deserves an attentive and careful attitude, because by its nature it is a very vulnerable organ and, despite the fact that there are no bones in it, fractures do occur. Moreover, such an injury as a penile fracture, unfortunately, is not uncommon. And it is worth noting that a man who received such damage needs the mandatory help of doctors.
Causes of a male genital fracture
A man can get a similar injury only in a state of sexual arousal during an erection. Most often, a member's fracture occurs due to careless behavior with the sexual intimacy of partners. For example, during sexual contact in any unusual postures or during aggressive sexual intercourse. The cause of the injury can be sudden careless movements of partners during sex. Relentless statistics indicate that almost 60% of fractures men get while having sex with a partner in the position of "rider". The closer the lady is to the peak of sensations, the more actively and sharply she makes movements, while the phallus can suddenly jump out and hit hard on the pubic bone, or the bone of the thigh or perineum. As a result, a man can get a penis fracture.
Signs of a fracture
As a rule, a fracture is accompanied by an unpleasant crunchy sound, characteristic for tears of the cavernous bodies, after which the man feels a sharp severe pain. An erection stops immediately, the penis begins to swell due to strong internal bleeding. The hematoma grows almost before our eyes, acquiring a dark blue-violet color, and the pain sensations become more intense, after which a shock can occur.
In addition, a fracture of the penis can cause an urethra tear, after which it is impossible to empty the bladder.
What should be done in case of a fracture?
Despite the terrifying external picture of the damage and severe pain, self-control should be maintained, since this damage is reparable, provided timely medical care is provided. Therefore, you should immediately go to the doctor’s office or call an ambulance, there shouldn’t be any psychological difficulties in this case.
Penile Fracture - Treatment
In the hospital, the victim will undergo ultrasound along with dopplerographic mapping, which improves the quality of diagnosis, and x-ray studies, such as urethrography and cavernosography.
The size of the damage to the protein coat and the severity of the hematoma that caused the penile fracture affect the purpose of the treatment for the injury. If the hemorrhage is extensive, a hematoma will be opened by surgery.
The doctor will do everything necessary to remove the accumulated blood clots,
stop bleeding, eliminate defects in the cavernous bodies and the albumen, and drainage will be performed in the area of the hematoma.
If the urethra is damaged, restoration also occurs with the help of surgical intervention. This is followed by antibiotic therapy, prevention and treatment of erectile dysfunction.
It is worth noting that in some cases, characteristic deformities during a phallus fracture are not observed, and a man may decide not to contact a doctor, but this is a mistake, because if the white membrane grows together incorrectly, curvature of the penis and pain during an erection will inevitably follow, which can lead in general to impotence. In order to avoid serious complications, the help of specialists should not be ignored.
