Could The Busting Of The Veins In The Penis Be The Cause For Loss Of Erection?

two weeks ago I woke up with an erection like always my penis curved a bit to the left and I would enjoy grabbing it and curving it the opposite direction a bit, well this morning I did this and I heard a pop, it did not hurt, my erection went away I jumped out of bed noticed it was changing color. went to hospital er right away, Dr told me that I busted a vein and to see if I get a hard on that night in my sleep, I did. two weeks later the bruising is going away and my erections hurt and seem smaller and there seems to be a knot where it busted is this true? and will it go back to normal state like it was before? what is that knot on the side?

Hi, it could be a burst vein but it could very well be a penile fracture in which part of the Corpora cavernosa gets injured. All your symptoms point towards that. I suggest you get an Ultrasound done for the penis and the Radiologist would be able to tell you whether there is any injury to the organ. If there is it might require repair. If not, then need not worry and it will recover over a few weeks.
