What Causes Penile Bleeding?
Question: I have suddenly started bleeding from a point on the shaft of my penis. The blood flow is more than you would expect from a simple cut. I am wondering whether this is a case for bandaid or for going to the hospital.
Brief Answer:
Bleeding from the penile shaft lesion/ Under Assessment
Detailed Answer:
Brief Ans-Bleeding from the penile shaft lesion/ Under Assessment
Hi,Dear thanks for your query to HCM.
Reviewed your health concern of bleeding from penile shaft.
In a given situation, I would suggest you to press the bleeding spot on the penile shaft for 5-7 minutes with continued pressure,as the organ is vascular in nature.
Give more information as to-
How this bleeding started?
Whether there was any prior lesion or cut to the penis?
Is it flail penis or engorged one? If engorged,this would need continued pressure for more time till the engorgement subsides or till the bleeding from penile cut stops.
Are you on any blood thinners for any medical problem at your advanced age?
Update more information related to this query,so that I can help you out properly.
I would wait for more information from you on the above facts.After this I would love to give more informed suggestions to help you out.
Welcome for any further query in this regard.
Good Day!!
