What Causes Bleeding During Erection?

Hi, Three days ago my boyfriend's penis started bleeding when he got an erection and we were about to have sex. It bled enough to soak through his shorts. He blamed it on getting his penis caught in his zipper earlier that day. We didn't have sex because we were both freaked out by what happened, but now three days later his penis is still bleeding when he gets an erection. Should we be worried? What could be causing this?

Hello,

Bleeding from the foreskin of penis is normal during initial days of having sex. As you have mentioned your boyfriend has injury by zipper. Whenever he will get erection he will have some pain and bleeding from damaged capillaries. Nothing to worry, it will resolves in few days. He can take pain killers like Ibuprofen for pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prashant Gohil
