No Orgasm, sprain in penis ?

[doggy11]

About two weeks ago my boyfriend sprained his penis while we were having sex. The first few days/week he couldn't move it back far...now that part is ok, but he still can't have an orgasm. He can have an erection - but not fully, he can ejaculate too....but cannot feel pleasure and doesn't get as big as usual or cannot control it anymore. He also has something hard begining at the shaft all the way to almost the top of the head. It feels like a hard vein all the way up. I think he should get it checked right away...but he keeps saying to let it go another week....

Hello,

It is good that at least you took the initiative to ask someone medical advice here. The immediate answer is to have him go to see a doctor as soon as possible! From your description, it sounds as though he has suffered a penile fracture (actual medical terminology) and there may be damage to the erectile tissue and nerve damage. The longer is goes without treatment, the more PERMANENT the problem may be! Here is a simple description of the condition and then a more in-depth description:

As a firefighter/paramedic of 20 years and in a college town, I have seen my share of this condition. No man wants to take his broken penis to the doctor because of the embarrassment. But, embarrassment fades away and a penile injury may last a lifetime. Bottom line, wrestle your boyfriend into the doctors office or plan to buy allot more batteries for your vibrator.


Good luck!

I'd consider this a penile fracture as well as zman; yes they do happen usually when the man slips or she comes down during intercourse and misses. GET TO THE DOCTOR OR ER NOW!!!! I have seen a few in the ER over the years.

Truvirgin07,

I know, it sounds odd, but is is actually the correct medical terminology. There are actually a few other places on the human body that can be "fractured" (liver, spleen, etc.) but have no bone involvement. As far as the penile fracture, reports have been made stating that a distinct "pop" or other breaking sounds were heard. If that is not sporting wood, then I don't
know what is! Here is more information than you ever wanted to know about this painful experience and other penis injuries:

As far as my professional experience, I have seen a few cases. It usually happens when there is enthusiastic intercourse involved (HA! Is there any other kind?) and most likely when the male is more stationary in the positioning (partner on top). The unfortunate thing is that many cases go unreported and/or treatment is greatly delayed because of the embarrassment. Depending on the extent of injury, this can cause lifelong problems for the man.


Live, Love, and Laugh!

To Back up what Zman said; yes this is true. You can have a fracture in the penis as well as the liver....Seen it all in the years (nearly 20) in the Emergency Room...an yes, usually the woman slipping off her guy and accidentally coming down is the number on cause!

Boyfriend just went to Doctor and the Doctor told him that it's emotional.....that he has lots of stess in his life, that's why he can't have an orgasm. The hard vein was a clot, it's almost all gone/healed. But he still can't orgasm. I really don't think it's stress related...even though the Doctor thinks so.It's just too weird that he would hurt himself and have all these symptoms and it would be stress related and not physical!

Hello,

My immediate question would have to be, was the doctor that your boyfriend visited a urologist? If not, then I would strongly suggest that he see one. If so, then maybe a second opinion is in order for the best perspective.

Look, I am not a physician myself, but I have been in the medical profession as a paramedic for over 20 years. My wife also owns an urgent care, where I have worked closely with the doctors there treating a variety of patients. All the general practice physicians that I know will freely admit that they know just enough to treat priority urological symptoms and prefer to send their patients to a urologist for through care. On the other side of the issue, some physicians/urologists only focus on human function/health, without the regard that they should for sexual health. As a spinal cord injury survivor (with some degree of erectile dysfunction), I also have witnessed a wide range of "motivation" by the medical community to treat my problems.


Good luck!
