what would be a treatment for a fractured penis?

Question

just curious how that could be fixed

Answer 1

There is such a thing as penile fracture:

"Offhand you'd think the penis would be immune to fracture, since it contains no bones. It does get rigid, however, and things that get rigid can break. At risk are the corpora cavernosa, the two tubelike masses of tissue that run through the center of the penis. They become engorged with blood during sexual arousal and cause the penis to become erect. Each corpus cavernosum is covered with a fibrous sheath, which during erection gets stretched pretty thin. A sudden jolt in the wrong place and you could pop like a balloon. In severe cases, the urethra (through which urine passes) and the outer sheath of the penis can also be damaged."

"A penile fracture is an injury caused by the rupture of the male corpus cavernosum. It is an uncommon injury, most often caused by a blunt force trauma to an erect penis. A popping or cracking sound and significant pain are commonly associated with the event. Penile fracture is generally considered a medical emergency, and emergency medical surgical repair is the usual treatment."

Answer 2

Fractured is not a good word to use in the same sentence as the word penis. The penis is made up of flesh and muscle tissue. There is no actual bone.

Please re-phase your question correctly so it can be answered on Yahoo Answers.

Answer 3

The penis is a muscle without bone. Even though some people refer to a errection as a ***** there is no bone. You can not have a fracture without a bone since fractures occur in bones.

Answer 4

Yes you can badly damage a penis. I have heard of a broken dick.
It is very serious for a man due to damage to the main blood supply that runs through there. Seen it on discovery health.Most are treated with surgery.A man can die from this if it is severe.

Answer 5

hold on....his penis is BLACK and you are on yahoo answers? Look up a free clinic in your area if you don't have insurance. You don't want to mess around with your penis, you only get one. If he's not getting oxygen to those tissues, they could die and have to be removed. which by the way would be more expensive than a doctor visit.

Answer 6

If you have an actual bone in your penis, you would be a medical phenomenon and might want to go to a doctor before you really hurt yourself or someone else.

There is no bone in it, so there can't be a fracture. But it can be damaged.
