A 40-year-old man from the UK has broken his penis while having sex and has made medical, and potentially sexual, history by having the first documented case of a breakage.
Man has broken his penis during his moment of sexual intercourse
The poor guy, who understandably remains anonymous, got the shock of his life when his night out took a turn for the worse, in more ways than one.
Defined as an “erect penis” that is “subject to abnormal ‘bending’ force,” the man got much more than he bargained for when his penis “bent” in his partner’s perineum in an ill-timed lunge.
While the primary and most common sign of the unfortunate injury is a sudden “popping sensation” and severe “swelling,” the 40-year-old man’s broken bone experienced only moderate strain and swelling.
The surgeon confirmed, however, that “there was indeed a 3 cm vertical tear” in his broken penis.
This required surgical intervention within 24 hours to reduce the risk of long-term complications such as “erectile dysfunction, excessive penile curvature or urethral stricture.”
A penile fracture is a serious medical emergency that can lead to disability, so it is recommended that doctors treat it within 24 hours .
Even after surgery, complications can occur: permanent erectile dysfunction, scarred and narrowed urethra, and a more pronounced curvature.
Fortunately, in this case, the surgery appeared to be a complete success and the man did not take long to recover with no lingering problems.
According to the report, doctors plan to be vigilant.
According to the study, “Up to 88.5% of penile fractures occur during sexual intercourse, and a 20-year retrospective study concluded that ‘doggy style’ and ‘man on top’ are the two main etiologic positions.”
