PENILE FRACTURE
Penis fracture is a rupture of the tunica albuginea that surrounds the cavernous bodies of this organ, usually occurring during rough intercourse or masturbation.
A typical sign of this injury is a sharp pain in the penis, a loud crunch, instant fading of the erection and the accumulation of a large amount of blood under his skin, which makes the organ look like an eggplant.
In about 20% of cases, a penile fracture is combined with damage to the urethra, which can be dangerous.
Treatment of rupture of the tunica albuginea consists in its urgent suturing. This allows you to seriously reduce in the future risks of developing erectile dysfunction or curvature of the penis.
