There is no bone present inside the penis. What is traditionally described as a penile fracture is actually a break in the white membranous tissue on the surface of the penile corpus cavernosum. The treatment for a penile fracture is surgical and more importantly, it needs to be prevented. During treatment, the surgeon will use sutures to close the tear in the white membrane and the corpus cavernosum of the penis. The main goal of this treatment is to restore or maintain an erection and the ability to maintain urinary function. If left untreated, it can lead to erectile dysfunction and urinary disorders. After the surgery, the doctor will prescribe pain medication and antibiotics. Patients need to take the medications as directed by the doctor. There will be no sexual intercourse for at least one month. The patient will also need to ask the doctor what to do to help heal the injury. However, it does not mean that all men will be normal after the surgery. Some men may experience side effects after the repair, including erectile dysfunction, penile curvature and painful erections. To avoid penile injuries, make sure there is enough lubricant during intercourse and extreme care needs to be taken during strenuous or some special positions of sexual action. When the penis is erect, the tunica albuginea also appears in a state of great tension and inappropriate violence may directly cause damage to this layer of tissue. It needs to be well protected to prevent traumatic fracture of the tunica albuginea. If you think you have a fractured penis, please visit a hospital promptly; the results are better when treated within 24 hours of the injury. After surgery to repair the penis, most men regain the ability to have an erection and live a normal life.
