Urethral trauma causing painful erection

[ds_2004]

A week ago I injured the area behind my scrotum by falling on a piece of gym equipment. I went to the doctors to be told that since there was no blood in my urine no assumptions could be made about it being a serious issue. Since the injury I have been having painful and somewhat soft erections which makes me think the blood flow could have been affected. Should I wait it out or should I go see a doctor and get it examined again? The pain doesn’t seem to be going away by itself which makes me feel like it’s serious even if there is no blood. Thanks

I agree with Emily - I think this is definitely worth some further medical testing to find out what’s going on. It’s possible this would heal on its own, but I sure wdn’t wanna take that chance myself. I’d hate to wait, then after no improvement, seek medical treatment & be told ‘Sorry, it’s too late, if you’d seen us sooner, we might have been able to help’ - YIKES !! I seriously doubt it’s that critical, but as I said, I sure wdn’t wanna take that chance if it were me. Get it checked out!

Good luck & let us know what they find...

I think you should go back to the doc for further investigation. Ask for an MRI or an ultrasound, and another urine test. Definitely don't let this go.

I hope you get some answers. Let us know how it goes!

Thank you for the advice, I’m going to a urologist to hopefully have it tested in some way
