Beware of these complications of penile fracture!

Because of trauma, sexual intercourse disorders and other adverse factors, male penis fracture may occur. Penile fracture will not only affect future fertility, but also cause sexual function problems. Patients with penile fracture must go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause congestion and redness and swelling inside. In addition to these, patients will also have a variety of clinical symptoms and complications, which require timely examination.

Symptoms of penile fracture:

Patients usually report that during sexual intercourse, the penis is twisted, with a sound when broken and severe pain. Then the erection subsides, the penis becomes soft, swollen, bent and deformed and leans toward the healthy side. Due to rupture and bleeding of the corpus cavernosum and tunica albuginea, bloody ecchymosis forms, the penile skin becomes bluish purple, and urination is generally normal.

1. Hearing the sound of breaking: When the tunica albuginea and corpus cavernosum of the penis rupture, you can often hear the sound of breaking.

2. Severe pain: Severe pain will occur after penis fracture. It should not be difficult for everyone to understand this symptom of penis fracture.

3. Penile fatigue: Penile fracture usually occurs when the penis is violently bent during erection, but once penile fracture occurs, the penis will quickly become flaccid.

4. Penile bleeding: Penile bleeding is also a symptom of penile fracture, often accompanied by hematoma.

5. Hematoma: Once the penis bleeds due to rupture of the tunica albuginea and corpus cavernosum, hematoma will also appear as a symptom of penile fracture. However, hematoma is not limited to the penis. Sometimes subcutaneous hematoma can be found in the scrotum, perineum and lower abdomen.

6. Difficulty urinating: Don’t disbelieve it, difficulty urinating is also a symptom of penile fracture. It is very common and is mostly caused by pressure from blood edema. However, the degree of urination is not serious and is mostly mild.

7. Other associated symptoms: Due to violence, penile fracture is often accompanied by urethral injury. At this time, a series of urethral injury symptoms will also appear, such as bleeding from the urethral orifice, urine extravasation, etc.

8. Penile twisting: If the corpus cavernosum ruptures on one side, the penile fracture will cause the penis to twist or bend to the opposite side.

Complications of penile fracture:

The complications of conservative treatment of penile fracture are as high as 30% to 44%, including missed diagnosis of urethral injury, persistent hematoma, secondary infection, penile fibrosis and angulation deformity, painful nodules, and resulting sexual dysfunction. Patients who choose early surgical treatment do not have the above complications.

Expert Tip: Penile fracture can be avoided, but the longer you delay treatment, the more difficult it will be to recover. The more serious consequence is the tragedy of the penis being unable to erect. Please try to avoid rough sex, masturbation, and SM, otherwise penile fracture is very likely to occur.
