El peor miedo que tienen muchos hombres es romper su pene durante el sexo. La buena noticia es que técnicamente es imposible que pase porque no hay hueso en él para que se quiebre. Lo que sí puede suceder son una serie de lesiones relacionadas con este órgano y que son igual de dolorosas y horribles. Mientras que los moratones y los cortes menores son probablemente lo más común que te puede ocurrir (sin dejar de lado que alguien te de una patada o te des un golpe en los testículos), te contamos algunos de los accidentes que suceden muchas veces en las salas de urgencias y que han contado los médicos a 'Men's Health'.

Fracture

The most common cause is an especially abrupt sexual relationship.It only happens to one in 100.000 men.But, in addition to the added interest that awakens everything related to the bedroom, it is important to know how to prevent this situation because when it occurs, they say, of the most painful that can be lived, and can have serious and last.If you have reached this text desperately looking for a solution to avoid going to the hospital and confess the problem, stop reading.Many men doubt a few hours before looking for medical attention and is a bad idea.

It is an injury that causes the breakage of the albugineal tunic, a fibrous envelope of the cavernous penis bodies.Normally it is flexible, thanks to its small percentage of elastin and collagen, but during erection, in the words of Rocío Sierra, urologist at the Reina Sofía de Tudela hospital, "there is a relaxation of the smooth muscle of the vascular tissue wall fillingThe blood member and the venous drainage system are compressed between the Albuginea tunic and Buck fascia ".

Priapism is a disease in which the individual suffers a continuous and painful erection without any sexual excitation

"Most penile fractures are soft with a small tear in one of the cameras that require a few points of suture to close the fissure and make man return to normal in a few weeks," says Dr. Jesse N.Mills, Urologist at the David Geffen School of Medicine of the University of California.

The dreaded sound, as a bone breaking, happens between 30 and 50% of cases in very intense sexual intercourse.When it happens, in addition to sound, it can cause permanent deformities, curvature in erection, erectile dysfunction or pain during sex for years.Sometimes the fracture can be accompanied by the rupture of the urethra, which usually involves blood in the urethra, difficulty by crashing or urinating.

It is usually recognizable when there is breakage, for swelling (in length and thickness), the immediate end of erection and color change (it darkens and acquires a cherry or bruised tone).Faced with the doubt, what has been said: do not risk and go to emergency.A rapid intervention is vital to avoid major evils.

Contracture

If you thought there was nothing worse than feeling one in the calf, you are wrong.That in the groin when you are in the middle of a training is much worse.When Will, 37, woke up with a large lump in that area near the base of his penis, went directly to the doctor.According to him, the first thing they asked was if he had a partner, and if this, it was relatively new."Yes," he replied.

"He asked if we were having a lot of sex: 'Oh yes,' I said.He told me that he had a contracture in the groin and explained that particularly practicing sex in the dogswelling, "he says.

The doctor suggested to Will to have no relationships for three days.Then his swelling down and recovered.But maybe it would not have been that if not gone to the hospital."Every time you have a problem of this type, discomfort, pain, discoloration or packages and swelling you must make an appointment or go to emergency," warns Michael P.Zahalsky, founding urologist of the Urology of Coral Springs in Florida.

Priapism

It is a much less widespread pathology than others such as anorgasmia or early ejaculation.Its cause is unknown, but it does not go unnoticed by those who suffer from it. Priapism is a disease in which the individual suffers a continuous and painful erection without any sexual excitation.Specifically, the penis is firm but the soft glans, so the erection is only established in the cavernous bodies and not in the spongy where the glans is housed.Do not believe that it can only happen if you take erection pills such as viagra, it happens many more times than you think.

Anson, 42, suffered it for 20 hours as a side effect of taking medication for anxiety and depression."I took the sleeping pill at night and woke up with an erection that didn't get off with anything.I tried to masturbate and take a bath, but there was no luck.I did not go to the emergency room until 10 am.I could not ".

This disease, which causes intense pain, causes the member to remain firm for even several hours, until it returns to its flaccid state.Some medications (such as antidepressants) and drugs can cause priapism, although in most cases the origin is unknown.Gravity is such that, although an orgasm occurs, the erection of the penis does not disappear and the pain is not to relieve since it is a different type of erection than the usual.

To avoid this, experts recommend going to the bathroom often, drinking plenty of water and not excessively prolonging sexual activity.If the doctor does not go and the erection lasts more than four hours, the penis tissues can end up damaged and lead to erectile dysfunction."Usually, after 10 hours, you can suffer permanent damage to erectile tissue, stay with scars and lose ability to maintain an erection.If you have been with her for more than 4 hours, go to emergencies quickly, "says Jamin Brahmbatt, a specialist in Urology at Orlando Health.

Especially abrupt sexual relations are the most common causes for which this type of injury is suffered

Testicular torsion

Testicular torsion is a problem that occurs rarely (in 1 in 4.000 men under 25 years old), but with potential important consequences.Adolescence is the era of greatest risk (15-16 years), although it can occur in newborns and adults.

The testicles are fed by blood vessels that, together with the nerves and ducts that transport sperm (deferens), they will through spermatic cord from the abdominal cavity to the scrotum.These are anchored in a very lax way in that area and, on rare occasions, they turnlate, that of arteries, which is the one that can compromise the survival of the sexual gangl.

Melina tells how her boyfriend suffered when they were practicing the 'cowgirl'.The injury is not strange at all, potentially serious and sometimes inevitable."It just happens, there are no medical reasons," says Dr. Brahmbhatt."Above all that the 'runners', cyclists and people who do a lot of sports, wear shorts or tight underwear so that it does not happen," he adds.
