You may call it your equipment or your package, but that doesn’t mean that you should handle it like it should be thrown on the shelf or your doorstep.Penile fracture is a rare clinical entity that represents a urologic emergency. Keep in mind that in a collision with different things, your penis will lose most of the time. But wildly misfiring sex is something completely different.
Also, while sex isn’t exactly a military strike that requires computers and GPS (global positioning systems), pay attention to where you are going. Having sex is not the same as throwing a javelin. For example, while having sex, avoid taking running starts. Plus, you can take certain precautions to reduce your already low risk of penile fractures. But before you enter your bed petrified every night or tie yourself to the bed facing upwards, remember penile fractures are quite rare and suffering one while you are sleeping is even rarer. There are reports of masturbation and sleeping prone causing such fractures as well, which may not help tummy sleepers sleep better. Studies have suggested that “doggy style” and “man on top” are the most common sexual positions where such fractures occur. After all, running into a wall while fully erect is not a common activity. Not surprisingly, most (88.5%) penile fractures occur during sexual intercourse. So no need to keep your penis wrapped in mounds of toilet paper at all times for protection. At the same time, there’s been no change in his erections or the curvature of his penis.Īgain, penile fractures of any type are relatively rare. Within six months of the fracture, the man could get back to sexy time, so to speak. Nevertheless, so far, things have look on the up and up. However, since there had been no other documented cases of such a vertical tear, doctors wondered whether vertical tear may bring additional risk of long term hardships so to speak. This is one situation where longer was definitively not better.įortunately, when surgery is done promptly and successfully, most penile fractures end up swell. The man was rushed to surgery and during the operation, the surgeon found that tear to be three centimeters long and repaired the tear. However, a penile MRI did reveal a vertical rather than a transverse tear of the tunica albuginea next to the right corpus cavernosum, in the middle third of the shaft of his penis. Moreover, when examining the man, doctors could not detect a “rolling” sign. And his penis didn’t look that eggplanty. His penis did swell, but only moderately. He didn’t hear any popping sounds either. Instead of immediately losing his erection, things went down more gradually. What happened next wasn’t typical for a penile fracture, though. This didn’t mean that his penis put on a belt and buckle. The force of pushing against the perineum caused the man’s penis to buckle. So the man have misfired when pushing against the perineum, basically a schwing and a miss. Now pushing your penis against the perineum is not great idea because it is essentially pushing against a solid wall of flesh. If you are a woman, the perineum is the area between your anus (not the planet but the body part) and your vulva. His penis was erect when he pushed against his partner’s perineum. The case began with the 40-year-old man having sexual intercourse with a woman. No cases, that is, until this latest case report in BMJ Case Reports. Apparently, there had been no documented cases of a vertical penile fracture, meaning an up and down tear of the tunica albuginea. Now most reported cases of penile fractures are “transverse,” which means a horizontal tear of the tunica albuginea. Such complications include erectile dysfunction, excessive penile curvature, or a tightening of your urethra, the tube through which urine passes. In fact, according to the British Association of Urological Surgeons, you should get surgical repair within 24 hours of the injury in order to lower the risk of long-term complications. Instead, it’s a medical emergency that typically requires surgery to fix.

One of the signs of a penile fracture is the so-called "eggplant" sign (Photo by.
