Can Penis Injury Cause Infertility?
Hi there, whilst having sexual intercourse with my girlfriend on Friday night my penis slipped out as I trusted causing me to jar my penis awkwardly. Although I suffered a shooting of pain at the time I didn t think too much of it. However since then I have noticed deep bruising along the back of my shaft and following a line downwards through my scrotum and a bit of swelling. Whilst I m not in any sort of discomfort or experiencing any pain unless I accidentally create further trauma to the area my girlfriend is becoming more concerned on the matter thinking more so long term fertility. I am not experiencing any problems urinating or anything. Is there any major concerns I should really have or any advice? Many thanks Jamie

Hi Jamie,
Such injuries can sometimes lead to a serious condition of Fracture Penis. So, if you continue to have normal erections then you have not fractured it but if there is a problem in achieving full or complete erection then it could be a fracture.
You should therefore see a Urologist or a Surgeon to get yourself examined and rule out a fracture.
The bruise you mention is a streak of blood that has collected under the skin and then clotted leaving that colour. Therefore, you have sustained some trauma which has led to the breaking of the blood vessel.
These injuries can be repaired, provided medical help is sought early.
I suggest you see a Surgeon earliest and let him decide.
Take care,
