Penile Suspensory Ligament Injury & Questions

by xroadrunnerx, Oct 10, 2009 08:23PM
Hi there, I am a 30 year old male who is in excellent health.  I was having some fairly rough sex with my girlfriend.  I was behind her and she bucked back as I was thrusting forward and it happened quickly so it's difficult to say what exactly happened.  My penis bent somehow from the base.  I believe I damaged my penile suspensory ligament.  There was no major bruising (maybe some extremely light bruising which is barely noticeable).  I am still able to get erections and maintain them, but I would say I'm only at about 75% of normal function.  I went to see my family doctor about it and he said there isn't much point to seeing a urologist because I am still able to get erections.  He said it's mostly like a sprain and will take 4-6 weeks to heal.  I have some uncomfortableness 80% of the time especially when sitting and only don't notice it when I get an erection.  I have had sex since this occurence and my penis feels a little bit loose from the base.  My questions are:

1 - Should I refrain from any sexual activity during the healing period, including masturbation and oral sex?
2 - Is there anything I can take or do to speed up the healing process that's safe?
3 - Has anyone else suffered the same type of injury?
4 - How long does it typically take to heal?
5 - Will I recover to my full capabilities or will my erection strength or duration decline?
6 - Any other information you can provide regarding the situation would be greatly appreciated.

Please help me out with this, I am quite discouraged about the damage that may have occurred.  Thank you for all replies.
