What are the symptoms of cavernous body damage?

Symptoms of cavernous body injury

The corpus cavernosum of the penis has abundant venous sinuses. There are three corpora cavernosa in the penis. These three corpora cavernosa are wrapped by fascia and have abundant blood vessels and nerves running inside the penis. Therefore, penile injuries can present very prominent clinical symptoms.

The prominent manifestations of penile injury are local pain, as well as swelling, bruising, bleeding, laceration, transection, penetration, dislocation, exfoliation, necrosis, and partial defect.

Generally, there is severe local pain in the penis, the penis becomes soft, and then swelling and bruising appear. If the corpus cavernosum of the penis is ruptured, the penis will bend deformed and may swell to the opposite side in an "S" shape or droop downward. If the penile fascia is ruptured, penile hematoma will spread to the scrotum and perineum. If accompanied by urethral injury, hematuria or bleeding from the urethral opening will occur.

As long as penile fracture is treated in time, the prognosis is generally good, but the following complications may occur later: such as erectile dysfunction (ED), penile curvature deformity, painful penile erection, sexual intercourse pain, pseudodiverticulum, penile artery aneurysm, high-flow ectopic penile erection, lymphedema, urethral stenosis, penile arteriovenous fistula, corpus cavernosum-urethral fistula, penile nodules and recurrence.

What to do if the cavernous body is damaged

How to restore the damaged cavernous body

Damage to the corpus cavernosum is usually caused by external forces after the penis is erect, which will cause hematoma and is very painful. It seems that your corpus cavernosum is not damaged, but rather the penis is bent or lateral. Under the influence of frequent external forces such as masturbation and certain working postures, the entire corpus cavernosum is translated inside and outside the body. In other words, the entire penis strip is deflected in the abdominal cavity, which can be corrected through regular massage.

The treatment of cavernous body injury includes analgesia, debridement under local anesthesia, suturing, reduction, etc. In clinical practice, not all injuries will affect sexual function.

The other is a congenital curvature, which is usually not easy to find when the penis is flaccid. When the penis is sexually excited, it will bend to the left or right, upward or downward, etc. The arc shape can usually be seen from the outside of the penis. Suggestions:

This phenomenon is more common in Western countries such as Europe, and is most common in the form of upward curvature after sexual erection. This is related to racial genetics, but it is not a pathological manifestation. Generally, if it is estimated that it will not affect future sexual life, it does not need to be corrected. If the curvature is too large, it needs to be corrected through surgery, but it may affect the quality of the cavernous body erection after the operation.

Traumatic injury to the corpus cavernosum of the penis can easily cause penile curvature after erection, which can lead to difficulty in sexual intercourse in severe cases.

Experts report that 5% to 15% of patients experience impotence after penile corpus cavernosum injury, mainly due to penile curvature and erectile pain. When treating penile injuries, it is important to protect blood vessels and nerves to reduce the occurrence of impotence after injury.

Cavernous body injury is related to many factors, but the vast majority of the causes are trauma. If we can avoid trauma, there may not be much damage. We must protect the cavernous body, because cavernous body injury may lead to male sexual dysfunction.
