Penile trauma – Avoiding genital suffering
**Penimal Trauma**

**Avoid suffering in the genitals**
Most people wouldn't believe that the penis could be harmed.
James Thane, a urologist in Manassas, Virginia, is quite knowledgeable about this.
He once witnessed something that would shock any man: one night he was asked to go to a local hospital to help with penile augmentation for John Wiss Bobby.
This event caused a sensation around the world.
Bobby's wife said he abused her, so she cut off his penis with a knife.
In short, Dr. Sain and a plastic surgeon eventually managed to reattach his penis.
Bobby became an instant household name worldwide, and his still-functional penis was even featured in adult films.
Many people can't help but ask, "Is this true?"
**Rash, Hernia, and Cracked Skin**
We dare not speculate on the possibility of you pursuing a career in film, but in terms of penile trauma, the possibility is extremely small.
"The penis is indeed rarely injured," says Bower Gritch, a urologist at Bower Ramsey Medical Center in St. Paul, Minnesota.
In fact, if you are unlucky enough to get hit in the groin, the explosive pain feels more like it comes from the testicles than the penis.
Dr. Gridge said that the most sensitive part of the penile nerves is in the glans penis, and this area is rarely injured.
He said, "When the hip is injured, the penis will shift, and the testicles will also be injured."
This is a reality that cannot reassure us.
Unlike arms, fingers, toes, or even testicles, we only have one penis. I can't even imagine what it would be like to injure or lose it.
But as long as we have it, we can inflict superficial damage, bend it, or even break it.
This is no joke.
If the penis is severely injured, you may experience impotence, difficulty urinating, or even bleeding.
However, if you know what kind of injuries it might suffer and what to do after it gets injured, you can prevent it early.
**Getting caught in my pants while taking them off!**
What men fear most, but which doesn't happen often, is their penis getting caught in a zipper.
Experts say that children often get their feet caught, and it only happens to a very few impatient adults.
To ensure you don't become one of the victims, you should:
The simplest way to avoid this is to put something between your underwear and your pants; any kind of underwear will do.
**Be careful when unzipping your zipper** Some studies have found that unzipping your zipper may also pose a health risk.
**Apply oil** If the penis is really stuck, apply some vegetable oil to the zipper.
If that doesn't work, it's best to see a doctor.
Forcing the zipper open or trying to pry it open will only make things worse.
> **Bends** **?**
One of the most common types of penile trauma develops so slowly that you may not even notice it.
As a result, when the penis is erect, you find that it has actually bent.
This phenomenon is medically known as Pironick's disease.
Experts estimate that thousands of men contract the disease each year, but the cause remains unclear.
Some doctors believe it is caused by a virus that can infect the penis, while others suspect it is penile arthritis.
"Pyronick's disease can damage the erectile chambers located on one or both sides of the penis-a type of tissue that holds blood to maintain an erection," Dr. Gridge explained. When the penis is erect, the damaged erectile chambers become entangled.
"The penis will deviate to the side where the tissue is damaged; in some cases, the degree of penile twisting can reach 90 degrees."
If you notice that your penis is abnormally curved during a normal erection, it is best to consult a doctor.
Treatment methods can range from simple to complex, from simply taking vitamin E or anti-inflammatory drugs to performing surgery on the damaged tissue.
"But it's crucial to detect it early," Dr. Sain said. "If the disease has been present for more than a year, the opportunity for treatment may be missed forever."
> **Broken** **Is it** **?**
The penis is seen as a symbol of male strength and sexual prowess, but on the other hand, it is quite fragile.
Dr. Sain said, "The penis is very flexible when flaccid, but becomes brittle once erect."
Excessive weight, slamming against a door, or forcefully twisting and turning-all of these can cause the penis to break.
"You will also hear a sound," Dr. Gridge said. "Those who have experienced it say they heard a 'snap' sound."
Then, the penis quickly went soft.
The sound originated from the inner wall of the erectile cavity.
"These erectile cavities fill with blood when they harden, just like the inner tube of a wheel; if enough force is applied to them, they will burst," Dr. Gridge said.
It is said that a broken penis is very painful and looks quite unsightly.
Dr. Gridge said, "Blood flows under the skin of the penis, and slowly the penis becomes like an eggplant."
A broken penis won't be fatal, but you'll have to fix the ruptured inner tube as soon as possible.
Studies have found that if treatment is received quickly within 24 to 48 hours, there is a high chance of complete recovery of penile function.
To avoid penile fracture in daily life, one must be extremely careful when walking around in the dark while the penis is erect, as bumping into a dressing table could easily break it.
In addition, during intercourse, if the woman is on top and the man is on the bottom, be careful not to touch the woman's pubic bone when the penis is inserted into the vagina-most penile fractures are caused by incorrect insertion direction.
> **Numb** **is it** **numb** **?**
A growing number of penile injuries are occurring not in the penis itself, but in the main blood vessels that supply blood to the penis.
Blunt injuries to the hip, especially when suddenly sitting on the crossbar of a bicycle frame, can damage arteries, cut off blood flow, and cause numbness.
In a worse scenario, the artery can be severed, causing blood to rush into the erectile chamber of the penis, resulting in an erection that you cannot control-a condition known as priapism.
According to Dr. Irwin Goldstein, a professor of urology at Boston University School of Medicine, an estimated 250,000 men suffer from erectile dysfunction due to hip injuries sustained during exercise.
"We once met a young man who played basketball," Dr. Goldstein said.
He jumped up to dunk, but when he landed, his legs were spread apart, and he landed on another person's head.
As a result, his penis remained erect and could not go soft.
This is called priapism.
Dr. Goldstein suggests, "You could put something under your crotch, but that's a joke; it doesn't offer much protection."
These measures can only partially protect the arteries in that area, so being extra careful is the best course of action, especially when cycling.
"The best option is to ride a bicycle without a crossbar," Dr. Goldstein said, or you could tie a foam pad to the crossbar, which is available at many bicycle shops.
In addition, make sure you are seated securely in the vehicle.
