Broken penis

[ithurts101]

I have a problem with my penis, it's broken, also known as a traumatic rupture of the corpus cauernosum.  I broke it one night in my sleep.  I had forgotten about it, since there was so much pain.  After it went down the pain disappeared and I went back to sleep.  I can not get an errection but there is a bend in it.  When it is errect there is a little pain.  This happened to me a couple of months ago.  I do not have a doctor and don't know where to turn.  As I understand it this is a very rare condition and I really don't want an unqualified doctor messing around with something that he may want to fix and mess up for the rest of my life.  What to do is the question.

Hi,
     How are you? There is no bone in the penis that can fracture but an erect penis is very hard due to the blood pressure created in it while being sexually aroused. This is called a penile fracture.

If a penile fracture is ignored it could lead to many severe problems further and it should be immediately attended to. There are many complications like angulations, scarring and may even result in impotency if left untreated. Luckily a penile fracture can be rectified and there are methods to do it.

Treating a penile fracture is a surgical procedure and it is actually a conservative process. If the corpus cavernosum shows a tear this tear is surgically repaired. In case this is not surgically repaired then there will be blood leak every time the patient gets an erection and all this would end up in an infection.

So treating the tear is as important as treating the fracture. The fracture is usually treated by a conservative method called corpus cavernosogram. It is actually a pretty simple and a standard procedure. Visit a urologist for further assistance.
Best.
