Can a man's penis be x-rayed?!


Question:

Can a man's penis be x-rayed?

For what reasons would a male need to have his penis x-rayed and why wouldn't there be documentation to show it?


Answers:

Yes there are many reasons to X-ray the penis.

After auto accidents they can be X-rayed to look for foreign bodies..IE rocks from road/ metal shards large chunks of glass,,,etc.

During procedures to check the blood flow in and out of the penis....Dye is injected that shows up on X-rays.

You can actually fracture your penis..there is no bone but tubes that fill with blood and you can rupture those during various activities..(rough sex)

Alot of this stuff is done with ultrasound now.

But yes the male organ shows up on X-ray
