Penile fracture usually only occurs when the male penis is erect. When the penis is erect, one or both sides of the corpus cavernosum can break, resulting in a penile fracture. When the penis is in an erect state, blood will rush to the penis to concentrate in the corpus cavernosum. The penis has a spongy structure called the corpus cavernosum, which is responsible for erectile function in men. Rolling over an erect penis in bed can be the cause of penile fracture. Your doctor may order a number of imaging techniques and physical examination to determine the extent and cause of penile fracture trauma. Other conditions that mimic the symptoms of a penile fracture include rupture of veins and arteries in the penis and rupture of the penile suspensory ligament. More serious symptoms of a penile fracture include swelling in the scrotum and blood in the urine. Penile fractures will often cause bruising at the tip of the penis and swelling. Symptoms of a penile fracture include: Bleeding from the penis A dark and bruised hematoma in the penis Difficulty urinating A cracking or popping sound Sudden loss of erection Pain Pain Varies from mild to severe Penile fracture symptoms that are not accompanied by a crackling sound or cause a sudden loss of erection are usually suggestive of another type of trauma. Penile fracture is a painful injury that usually occurs in the lower two thirds of the penis. Penile fractures can occur during sexual intercourse.
