Bleeding in Penis

[apradeep80]

Yesterday morning my father has slipped in the bathroom and hit bad the penis with the toilet seat. After that there was a continuous bleeding in the penis and by using ice and the cold water I could manage to stop his bleeding. After some minutes later he was hospitalized and he was fine there and he could able to pee as usual (he has noted there were few drops of blood after the urination).  Unfortunately he didn't get enough care in the hospital as everyone focus to the Corona crisis and therefore after staying around a day in the hospital we took father back to home.

He was fine up until today evening. But again today evening all of sudden there were bleeding from the penis. No pain at all. We managed to use ice and stop the bleeding. And now again he is fine and no bleeding. And he can pass the urine as usual.

Can anyone tell me how serious this seems?
And any tips to stop bleeding if it happen again (Since there is no any visible wound) ?
(There were no any injuries and the pain around the genital area and the abdomen. The pressure was normal. No diabetic or any other history of deceases. )

That's an area where there is a lot of blood flow, unfortunately. The penis has basically sacs that fill up with blood to become erect and sometimes even in non-sexual times erections can naturally happen. That can make it bleed more. If he has an internal injury inside of the penis itself (which sounds likely because a few drops of blood are coming out when he urinates), then the urine itself is irritating the urethra when he goes each time. That "may" not be dangerous, but a trip to a urologist certainly wouldn't hurt. Call around to private ones and see if any are doing any emergency visits. The ER is not the place to be and you don't want to get Coronavirus from somebody who didn't listen and went there in the waiting room with it.
