penis injury - Men's Health Message Board

About 8 months ago I hit the pevic bone during sex and there was a loud pop sound. Since then I have had some pain in the side of my penis. Just last night during sex the same thing happened and I felt my penis bend---it hurt like hell. Now I fell like I have a bruise. Is there anything I should do.
P.S. After the first injury I've had a slight bend to the left?
Please give advice!

OUCH! I'm not quite sure about what advise I can give, never done that before. I suspect that you can bruise the penis and it would be painful for a while. I think I'd give it a few days and if pain is present I'd probably call my doc and just check it out. The "pop" may have been something that could create a lasting effect but I don't know. Maybe someone else has some experience with this.

The popping sound is probably from the ligaments that hold your penis attached to your body. You may have damaged/torn a ligament. As it healed, it formed scar tissue which doesn't stretch as well anymore thus it is somewhat shortened on one side. The shortened ligament is now tight on the left side of the penis causing the curvature. This is all a guess and a urologist would be able to inform you better. I don't think it's Peyronies, that's more of a form of disease.

Of course if you bent or "broke" your penis that's a different story. If you did this, which is tearing the erectile tissue, it's considered a medical emergency. The tissue needs to be repaired in order to avoid serious erectile problems. I don't want to scare you but you said that your penis hurt so there must be some form of damage. How much? I don't know but I would recommend seeing a doctor ASAP.

Good luck

It still hurts today so, I think I will try and make a visit to the doctor on Tuesday....I would like to get one sooner but with the three day weekend. I will take the vit. E and a muscle relaxer though. Thanks

I think seeing a doc is the best thing you could do, better to be safe than sorry and you'll put your mind to rest. Let us know what you find out, really curious about this one!
