&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Penile fracture is an injury that may happen during sexual intercourse caused by the rupture of corpora cavernosa and penile sheath which are the two vital areas responsible for the normal erection of the penis. This condition is not like a broken bone, and it bears a huge risk of long-term damage to the male sexual organ and urinary function. Although rare, the injury is alarming, thus immediate medical attention is required.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Symptoms of Penile Fracture&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Painful injury in the lower two-thirds of the penis may be experienced when someone suffers from a penile fracture. Other symptoms may be characterized such as:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Bruising of the penis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Indication of cracking or popping sound&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Sudden loss of erection&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Penile bleeding&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Painful penis (minimal to severe)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Difficulty in urination&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Swelling of the scrotum (rare)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Blood in urine (rare)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Other symptoms of penile injuries may be similar to penile fracture including ruptured suspensory ligaments and damaged veins and arteries in the penis. If the symptoms of penile fracture do not include rapid loss of erection or cracking sound, it may be due to other penile injuries.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Penile Fracture Causes and Treatments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Some of the factors that may cause penile fracture are:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Rolling over the bed with an erect penis can fracture the penis&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Sexual intercourse, usually when women are on top&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Breaking or snapping of the corpus cavernosum (area responsible for penile erection)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;There are treatments available for penile fracture. It is highly advised to seek professional help when experiencing this serious injury. When visiting the doctor, physical examination and some imaging techniques may be done to determine the real condition.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Surgery is the most common treatment for penile fracture caused by sex. It has lower rates of penile scarring, curvature, and erectile dysfunction. This medical procedure may require follow-up appointments and antibiotic treatment for the post-surgery process.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;In rare cases where the penis has been cut off, preservation of the amputated part is important. It should be wrapped in gauze soaked in sterile salt solution and be put in a plastic bag. Then put the plastic bag in a secondary bag or cooler with an ice-water slush. To avoid any harmful effect on the amputated part, do not put it directly into the ice water. The cut-off part of the penis may still be reattached even after 16 hours. Rebuilding the penis will be done by a urologist, however, the full functionality of the organ will depend on the amount of damage done. Some problems may arise from having penile fractures like infection, priapism, curved penis or Peyronie&amp;rsquo;s disease, and erectile dysfunction.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
