""Most sex-related injuries are preventable, and none of them should be a source of shame," Dr. Martina Ambardjieva , a urologist and ER physician, told HuffPost . " What does cause problems is waiting too long to seek care because of embarrassment. If something feels wrong, pain, bleeding, swelling, or an object that refuses to come out, just come in. Trust me, we've seen it all.""
""It's exactly as dramatic as it sounds - a loud 'crack,' immediate swelling, and a lot of panic," she explains. It most often happens when the penis slips out during thrusting and forcefully hits a partner's pelvis. "A penile fracture occurs when the tunica albuginea, the tough fibrous sheath surrounding the erectile tissue, tears," she explains. "When the penis is erect, that tissue becomes thin and stretched, making it vulnerable to sudden bending or impact - even though there's no bone inside.""
Sex-related injuries can lead to emergency-room visits and are often preventable. Common problems include pain, bleeding, swelling, retained objects and traumatic injuries. Penile fracture occurs when the tunica albuginea, the fibrous sheath around erectile tissue, tears during sudden bending or impact, often producing a loud crack, immediate swelling and panic. Delayed treatment of a torn sheath can result in improper healing, permanent curvature, painful erections or long-term erectile dysfunction. Embarrassment frequently causes people to wait too long to seek care, worsening outcomes. Immediate evaluation is advised for concerning symptoms or irretrievable objects.
