Bruised penis

Several years ago my son (who was 8 at the time) bruised his penis when he wrecked his bike. It looked as if he pinched it . It was puffy all over and the next day bruised on the head. I panicked and asked my husband to look at it. He had him urinate and there was no pain or blood when urinating. He assured me he would be fine and that it was just pinched like a finger in a car door and all would be well. We simply put some ice on it. I recently read something about penis pumps causing bruising and permanent damage to capillaries in the penis and causing erectile disfunction. This of course alarmed me because of my sons injury a few years back. I am now extremely concerned that there could have been some permanent damage . He being a young teen I am certain will not answer any questions that I would ask him about whether he experiences any trouble with erections. Would it be stupid to take him to a urologist now?

ask him if it hurts erect and if there are any hard areas that hurt from it. if it does, have a urological chack out by a good modern doctor.  I had an injury, and recently had the nerves reconnected to the area, wish now i didn't because it hurts like @$#$% trying to have intercourse, on the big bumps that were left from the injuries. In search of a reconstructive urologist plastic surgeon now...

hi, i don't think there are any complications. I am sure he would have discussed with you, if there were any. But, at the same time you can always take an advice from a specialist. That will relieve you from your worries.
