Mr. BUI Van Quang, M.A, M.D. from Andrology Center, Viet Duc University Hospital said that each month, on average, there were 5 – 6 cases of penile fracture due to sexual intercourse accident or self-bended. Most cases came to the hospital early because of the concern for the health of their “little boy” but some patients came so late with complications that affect to the treatment, might lead to later sequelae.   

 

Ass. Prof. NGUYEN Quang, Director of Andrology Center, Viet Duc University Hospital shared that penile fracture is a frequent emergency in andrology with various causes but the most common causes were self-bending or after sexual intercourse, especially for couples who tried with “strange, unique” positions. Without timely emergency treatment, it might lead to complications affecting patients’ life such as erectile dysfunction, bent penis, formation of fibrotic plaques… So, when the diagnosis was made, emergency surgery should be performed soon in order to avoid those complications and make the penis will be recovered normal functions.

 

Corpus cavernosum fracture is a traumatic injury caused the tear of fundiform ligament surrounding the corpus cavernosum resulting internal bleeding under penile fascia or rupture of both superficial and deep penile fasciae caused  the subcutaneous hematoma in the scrotum, perineal, inguinal and supra-pubic zone when the penis was erect.
