The penile cavernous tissues of the penis. Unlike what the term suggests, a penile fracture does not involve a bone, as the penis does not have a bony structure. Instead, it is a traumatic injury affecting the erectile tissue of the organ. A penile fracture usually occurs during vigorous sexual intercourse or due to direct trauma to the erect penis. This injury is more common during sexual intercourse where the woman is on top, and occurs when the penis is abruptly and forcefully bent backward. This creates intense pressure on the tunica albuginea, leading to its rupture. The main symptoms of a penile fracture are acute and intense pain, followed by swelling and immediate deformation of the penis. Hematomas may also appear in the affected area. It is important to emphasize that a penile fracture is a medical emergency and requires immediate attention. The diagnosis of a penile fracture is usually clinical, based on the patient's reported history and the symptoms presented. However, complementary examinations, such as penile ultrasound, may be performed to confirm the diagnosis and assess the extent of the injury. Treatment for penile fracture is usually surgical and should be performed as soon as possible. The surgery aims to repair the tear in the tunica albuginea and restore the normal anatomy of the penis. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and involves suturing the damaged tissue. After surgery, a period of sexual rest is essential to allow for proper healing. Sexual activity should be resumed gradually, under medical guidance. It is important to note that untreated penile fracture can lead to complications such as permanent penile deformity, erectile dysfunction, and abnormal curvature during erection, known as Peyronie's disease. In summary, penile fracture is a serious traumatic injury that occurs due to rupture of the tunica albuginea during vigorous sexual intercourse or direct trauma. Diagnosis is clinical, but imaging tests may be necessary. Treatment involves surgery to repair the damaged tissue, followed by sexual rest and appropriate medical follow-up. It is crucial to seek immediate medical attention if a penile fracture is suspected to avoid long-term complications.
