Hi,
Penile fracture, also known as a ruptured
corpus cavernosum, is a rare but serious condition that occurs when the
erectile tissue in the penis is ruptured or torn. This can cause severe pain, swelling, and discoloration of the penis, and can lead to
erectile dysfunction and other sexual problems.
It is important to get immediate medical attention if you suspect you have a penile fracture, as prompt treatment can help prevent long-term complications. The long-term effects of penile fracture on sexual function can vary depending on the severity of the injury and the quality of the treatment.
Some men may experience erectile dysfunction, difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection, or other sexual problems. In some cases, these problems may be temporary, while in others they may be permanent. It is important to work with a
urologist or a sexual medicine specialist to determine the cause of any sexual problems and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
