If you are a man, you must remember these "hard knowledge"

A man's lifeline is directly related to his offspring, but do men really understand it? Is testicular pain real? Can a penis be fractured? You should know these facts.

1. The penis can also be “broken”

Although there are no bones in the penis, it is possible to "break a bone" - it is actually a more vivid way of saying that the tunica albuginea of ​​the penis is torn. When this happens (usually during sexual intercourse), you will hear a loud popping sound and the erect penis will quickly become soft. Once this happens, do not apply heat to accelerate internal bleeding. Please go to the emergency room as soon as possible, because research shows that if it is treated within 24 hours and the tunica albuginea is sutured, it will not affect future sexual life.

2. Difficulty getting an erection after drinking

Dr. Harry Fisher, clinical professor of urology and reproductive medicine at Weill Cornell Medical School in New York, pointed out that excessive alcohol intake may make it difficult for men to have an erection and ejaculation. Because alcohol is a sedative, it will make your senses dull. Therefore, drinking too much is not conducive to sex.

3. Pain in the balls

Testicular pain is a common complaint among men, but it is real. Testicular pain refers to testicular pain caused by prolonged sexual stimulation without ejaculation. When you are sexually stimulated and in a state of excitement, blood flows to the testicles, causing local blood pressure to rise, blood vessels to become congested, and testicular swelling and pain. This swelling and pain will disappear after ejaculation or when sexual excitement subsides.

4. The penis can also itch

This condition is called tinea cruris, a fungal skin disease that is common in the groin and genital area. Patients experience redness and itching around the groin and buttocks, which may spread to the scrotum and genitals in some cases. Local overheating, sweating and skin friction can all cause you to develop tinea cruris, and wearing breathable fabrics and loose underwear will help. If you sweat a lot in the testicular area, using talcum powder can prevent tinea cruris, and properly washing and drying your genitals when you shower can also help prevent it. If you already have tinea cruris, you can apply an antifungal cream to the affected area.

5. There is an inflammation called glansitis

This inflammation is called glansitis when it occurs in the glans penis, and it is called balanoposthitis when it spreads to the foreskin. Fungal infections, sexually transmitted infections, poor hygiene, skin irritation or smegma can all cause this inflammation. If you have severe inflammation of the penis, don't delay and see a doctor immediately. They will find out the cause and treat it properly.

6. The foreskin cannot return to normal

Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin is too tight to be pulled back over the glans penis. Infection, inflammation or scarring of the penis may cause acquired phimosis. Go to the hospital for examination and treatment. The doctor may prescribe ointment or ask you to undergo circumcision.

Incarcerated foreskin refers to the foreskin being turned down to the coronal sulcus and being fixed in position and unable to return to its normal state. If this happens, go to the surgical emergency room immediately. If not treated in time, the foreskin will become severely edematous within a few hours, and in severe cases, the distal foreskin or glans penis may become necrotic.
