blown blood vessel during sex
My girlfriend and I were having sex when I missed entering during the heat of passion and bent my penis. Immediately I felt a flush and looked down finding that I was bleeding from the tip of my penis. Yes alot a steady stream was shooting out 2-3", totally I might have lost 12-16 ounces of blood before I could get it stopped.
I visited the doctor who sent me to a urologist the next day. He sent me home with an appointment in three weeks to do a scope and take a look see. His diagnosis was a torn ureathera. Could there be something else wrong with me that cause a weakness of my ureathera allowing this to happen? Is this common?

Hi,
Trauma to the penis in the erect or flaccid state can cause damage to the urethra and the soft tissue of the penis and can even cause the formation of arteriocavernosal fistula (which leaves the penis in an uncomfortable, semi-erect state).
Trauma to the urethra can cause severe bleeding, especially if there is a tear in the mucosa. The urethral mucosa can heal over a couple of weeks but in the presence of infection or excessive scar tissue formation, there can be stricture formation within the urethra. This can block the flow of urine and can cause frequent infections of the urinary tract.
Ensure that you keep your fluid intake over 2000 ml per day, avoid caffeine and alcohol, pass urine every 2 hours (to keep the urethra free of bacteria), and avoid sexual activity until your visit to the urologist.
Do keep us posted on any further doubts and your progress.
