Hi,
How are you? I think you have a penile fracture and you should see a urologist. Penile fracture is the traumatic rupture of the corpus cavernosum. Sudden blunt trauma or abrupt lateral bending of the penis in an erect state can break the markedly thinned and stiff tunica albuginea, resulting in a fractured penis. One or both corpora may be involved, and concomitant injury to the penile urethra may occur.
Physical examination, history, diagnostic cavernosography or MRI are helpful in making a diagnosis. Conservative therapy consists of cold compresses, pressure dressings, penile splinting, anti-inflammatory medications, fibrinolytics, and suprapubic urinary diversion with delayed repair of urethral injuries. The primary goals of surgical repair are to expedite the relief of painful symptoms, to prevent erectile dysfunction, to allow normal voiding, and to minimize potential complications due to delay in diagnosis.
Visit a urologist as early as possible.
Best.
