Bruising After Thrusting During Intercourse. Spread Along The Shaft, Tip Dark. Swelling Reduced, No Pain. Healing?

My boyfriend and I had intercourse yesterday and on thrusting hit me on an awkward angle. As soon as he pulled out, it had started to swell at the bottom but was still partly erect. We iced it and went to emergency. Bruising did not occur till 3-4 hours later. Saw a doctor, who said he was bruising. And the urologist who said it looked like bruising and a minor tear but was happy for him to go home. By then the swelling had reduced but there was bruising slightly around the base and on the underside. This was last night. This morning I had woken up to check on the bruising. And it had spread all along the shaft, just on the underside but also now around the tip and is a dark colour. Went back and saw the urologist who gave two options of healing itself or surgery. We were told if he was able to get an erection then we had less to worry about. So when he achieved an erection we could go home.Is it normal for the bruising to spread and swell only very very slightly, the way a normal bruise would eg black eye. Or should we go back to emergency?Right now. Swelling for the shaft has gone down. Still slight swelling but nothing bigger than 2.5cm diameter just where the new bruising is occuring. The bruising colour has spread and looks quite purple and blue. There is no pain and urination is completely normal.

Hi,

Thank you for your query.

You should not worry about the swelling which shall gradually subside. You can apply ice packs two-three times a day for the next 24-48 hours so that no further swelling takes place. The description provided by you suggests collection of blood below the skin which will gradually get absorbed.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing you boyfriend an early recovery.

Regards,

Hi
It looks quite bad . Probably your BF hurt his erect penis and had internal bleeding . It could be associated with Fracture of shaft of penis. He needs to undergo ultrasound immediately ,and if indeed it is fracture, surgery is the only option if time interval is less than 24 hours. If 24 hrs have passed, I am afraid, surgery may not help and impotence may be significant. In that case, penile implant can restore his normal functioning

Hi there. It is normal for heamatoma to spread as you describe. They are also correct in saying that if he can get an erection then he does not have fracture penis. I think that your boyfriend is going to be fine and that you need not worry. Thanks for this question and good luck.
