summary

Penile fracture refers to the rupture of the tunica albuginea of the corpus cavernosum caused by external violence in the erectile state of the penis. The normal thickness of the tunica albuginea of the penis cavernous body is about 2 mm. When the penis is erect, the vascular sinus is filled with blood, the internal pressure increases, and the tunica albuginea becomes thinner, which is only 0.2-0.25 mm. It is very easy to rupture. The crevasse is usually transverse, generally not more than 1 / 2 of the circumference of the corpus cavernosum, and most of them are located in the far 1 / 3. This kind of injury is rare, because it is difficult to say, so many cases have not been reported. What are the symptoms of penile fracture.

What does the symptom that penis breaks have

1. History of local penis injury. Patients usually report that during sexual intercourse, the penis is twisted, there is a sound when it is broken, accompanied by severe pain, and then the penile erection subsides. The penis becomes soft, swollen, bent and deformed, and tends to the contralateral side. Due to the rupture and hemorrhage of the corpus cavernosum and tunica albuginea, hematoma and ecchymosis are formed, and the penile skin is cyan purple. Urination is normal.

2. Local pain of penis after injury, congestion, bleeding and swelling can be seen. For a small number of patients whose symptoms are not obvious, the diagnosis should be confirmed by cavernography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In the diagnosis, we need to identify whether it is unilateral or bilateral cavernous rupture, whether there is urethral injury, whether it is simple skin injury, vascular injury, penile transposition and so on.

3. Penile fracture often occurs in the erectile state. There is often a sound and sharp pain at the moment of injury, and the erectile penis becomes soft immediately.

matters needing attention

Treatment measures: remove the hematoma, suture the ruptured tunica albuginea with silk thread, and stop bleeding by operation. Generally, the swelling of penis subsides within 10 days after operation, and the sexual function recovers well after operation.
