The state of a fractured sexual organ (Penile Fracture) is a state of emergency injury that must receive care by a physician, or may require coming in for surgery urgently. If you or someone close to you has just met with an event of hearing a loud sound like a "pop" while having sexual relations, followed by symptoms of swelling and bruising and the penis becoming soft immediately, a physician at the emergency room of a hospital should be seen immediately

This article explains the signals that indicate the state of a fractured sexual organ, as well as the role of restoration in the period after the surgery of sewing and repairing, which is the point at which PYONG MEN comes in to have a role in caring for the structure and the capability in the long term

How the state of a fractured sexual organ can arise

The structure of the erection of the male sexual organ consists of the sponge-like bodies (Corpora Cavernosa), which are wrapped by a sheath of membrane that is tough and strong, called the Tunica Albuginea. The state of a fractured sexual organ arises when this sheath of membrane tears, usually arising from a severe impact or from bending at the wrong moment while the sexual organ is fully erect. The blood that comes out from the area of the tear becomes congested under the skin, giving rise to symptoms of swelling and bruising over a wide circle, which is called in the medical world the "Eggplant Deformity"

A state of emergency that must receive surgery urgently (Surgical Emergency)

The state of a fractured sexual organ is a state of emergency that should receive an assessment by a physician immediately, and in many cases may require surgery to sew and repair it urgently. If suitable care is not received in the acute stage, it may increase the risk of complications in the long term, such as fibrous tissue, a penis bent abnormally, or a state of weakened sexual capability. A hospital that has a urological surgeon and an operating theatre ready to give care should be gone to as quickly as possible

The signals that indicate the state of a fractured sexual organ

  • Hearing a loud sound like a "pop", or a sound like something splitting or tearing, while having sexual relations or being severely impacted
  • The penis becoming soft immediately after that sound
  • Symptoms of swelling and bruising arising over a wide circle, of a dark green or dark purple colour (Eggplant Deformity)
  • Pain at the area of the sexual organ and the area around it
  • There may be a problem while passing urine if the urinary tract has also been affected

The stage of restoration: the important period in which problems in the long term may arise

After the surgery of a fractured sexual organ, the patient should receive following and assessment in the stage of restoration, because when the body enters the process of healing the wound according to nature, the area of the tissue that was injured may come to have a fibrous scar (Fibrotic Plaque). This fibrous tissue usually has less flexibility than the original tissue, and in some patients it may pull on some part of the structure of the sexual organ

When the fibrous tissue begins to affect the flexibility, the shape, or the circulation of the blood, the patient may come to have continuing problems in the long term, such as

  • A state of a bent penis (Penile Curvature), similar to Peyronie's disease
  • Pain while erect
  • A state of weakened sexual capability from the structure of the veins working deficiently (Venous Leak)
  • The shortening of the sexual organ from the pulling of the fibrous tissue

The assessment in the stage of restoration

When entering the stage of restoration, the patient should receive an assessment in order to see whether the tissue that is healing has fibrous tissue, bending, symptoms of pain, or an abnormality of the circulation of the blood as well or not. This assessment helps the physician lay out a plan of care that suits the state of the structure in each individual

The assessment may consist of

  • Examination by palpation of the fibrous tissue and assessment of the bending, in order to identify the position, the thickness, the hardness, and the level of pulling of the fibrous tissue
  • Penile Color Doppler Ultrasonography, in order to identify the position, the depth, and the size of the fibrous tissue, as well as the circulation of the blood, and the state of a leaking vein (Venous Leakage) that may arise together with it
  • The assessment of the muscles of the pelvic floor, which are usually contracted and tense from the pain and the injury

The approach to restoration at PYONG MEN

Restoration in the period after the surgery emphasises the breaking down of the fibrous tissue and returning the flexibility of the structure, using several technologies together, such as the injection of an extract from concentrated platelets (Superdose Activated Purified Growth Factor) at a particular point under the guidance of ultrasound, the use of focused shock waves of low energy (High-Precision Focused Shockwave, f-ESWT), the use of mechanical pulling force through medical vacuum equipment (Vacuum Erection Device), and Transrectal QMR, in order to restore the nervous system and the structure of the blood vessels in the pelvic floor. The plan of care is set specific to the individual, according to the level of the fibrous tissue and the accompanying states found. The length of time of restoration is generally about 2–3 months, and the result depends on the particular character of each case

In short summary

  • The state of a fractured sexual organ arises from the tearing of the Tunica Albuginea, and is a state of emergency that may require urgent surgery
  • If a pop sound is heard and large swelling and bruising arises while having sexual relations, the emergency room should be gone to immediately
  • The problems in the long term usually arise from the fibrous tissue created after the surgery, not from the tearing at the beginning
  • Suitable restoration of the fibrous tissue may help reduce the risk of a state of a bent penis and of a state of weakened capability in the long term
  • The plan of restoration at PYONG MEN is designed specific to the individual according to the examination and assessment

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

1. If a fractured sexual organ is suspected, what should be done in the first hour An assessment should be received at the emergency room of a hospital as quickly as possible. The surgery of sewing and repairing in the acute stage has an effect on the structure and the capability in the long term

2. After the surgery of sewing and repairing, why is there still a hard lump and a bent penis It is the result of the creation of a fibrous scar in the stage of healing the wound. This fibrous tissue lacks flexibility and pulls on the structure. Assessment and restoration in the period after the surgery may help reduce the effect from the fibrous tissue

3. In which stage of the state of a fractured sexual organ does PYONG MEN give care PYONG MEN gives service in the stage of restoration, after the emergency care and the surgery of sewing and repairing have already been completed. The goal is the breaking down of the fibrous tissue and the restoration of the structure as well as the capability

4. How long does the length of time of restoration take Generally it is about 2–3 months, depending on the size and the hardness of the fibrous tissue, as well as the accompanying states found in each individual

5. Will restoration make the penis come back to being straight as before or not The result depends on the character of the fibrous tissue and on the length of time that has passed since the injury. Restoration may help reduce the bending and return the flexibility, but the result in each individual cannot be guaranteed
