Man Hurts Himself With A 'Penile Fracture' In An Unfortunate Aggressive Bedroom Accident

A 42-year-old man from Boston reportedly hurt himself during an aggressive bedroom session. The man was immediately rushed to a hospital where it was found that he had a penile fracture, that occurred when the affected person's penis hit the partner's perineum during the sex.

The penile fracture, or the broken syndrome fracture occurred when the tunica albuginea (the outer tissue) of his penis hit the space between the vagina and anus of the sexual partner. The man reportedly heard a snap and noticed blood rushing out from the tissue when he was approached to the hospital.

"He heard a snap, noticed a rush of blood from the meatus, had immediate detumescence, and had severe pain," said Dr. Robert J. Hartman from the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, reported Medical Daily.

Tunica albuginea surrounds the spongy tissue around the penis. A stream of blood passes through the spongy tissue, or corpora cavernosa during erection. According to the National Institutes of Health, there is a leakage of blood to other tissues of the penis when the tunica albuginea tears apart. This leads to discoloration, swelling around the male genital and bleeding through the urethra.

During the surgery of a patient with penile fracture, general anaesthesia is injected into the patient as a slit is given to his penis. The skin is then pulled to the back of the penis as the doctors identify the teared area before stitching it up.

According to a study published in the journal Advances in Urology, a maximum case of penile fracture occurs when the female is on top during the sexual act. It is one of the most common injuries among the men in their 20s and 30s.

The 2014 case report was revealed in The New England Journal of Medicine.
