Can you sprain your penis?!


Question: Serious injury can result if the penis is bent during an erection. Blood normally enters the penis in chambers called the corpus cavernosum during erection. There are two cylinders that make up the corpus cavernosum. These cylinders are encased in a very tough thick sheath called the tunica albuginea, thus when filled with blood, the penis is rigid.

If there is injury to the penis during erection, there can be damage to the corpus caverosum and the tunica albuginea.
This very painful injury is often accompanied by an audible cracking sound, followed immediately by dark bruising of the penis due to blood escaping the cylinder. In 10 percent to 30 percent of penis fractures, the urethra is damaged and blood may be visible at the urinary opening of the penis.

A "fractured penis" requires urgent medical attention. Prompt surgical repair of a penis fracture is usually successful. If untreated, the injury may result in deformity of the penis or the inability to have or maintain an erection (erectile dysfunction).

The person's question is no joke.

    • HAHAHAHAHAHA THAT would b funny...gud question though..........
    well, i don't think penises have joints or ligaments, or anything that would be prone to sprains
    is that even possible?
    nope
    Yes,and you can 'break' your penis. There are strong muscles and fascia that can be damaged eg. you have an erection, and you bend the penis.

    THis is a very serious condition, and requires weeks to heal.

    Google,,,, a break in the action, www.ediets.com
    no...all you could really do would be to break blood vessels..and that would be considered a bruise
    you can pull a groin muscle
    yes u can, lifting heavy material without tha proper workout of streching....when i say heavy lifting i am not talkin about lifting with your penis, I am talkin like with your arms and abdominal muscles.
