Penile Fracture

A penile fracture occurs when the flexible tissue that surrounds the erectile chambers in the penis becomes torn or ruptured, usually due to a sudden, forceful trauma during an erection. This can happen from accidents or injury during sexual activity. Symptoms often include a popping sound, rapid swelling, bruising, and loss of rigidity. It’s a medical emergency that requires prompt surgical repair to prevent long-term complications like erectile dysfunction or scarring. If you suspect a penile fracture, seek immediate medical attention to ensure proper treatment and recovery.
