Penile fractures are serious injuries that occur when the protective sheath around the penis, ruptures due to sudden or forceful bending. This can happen during vigorous sexual activity, particularly in positions where there is a risk of uncontrolled movement or pressure. Symptoms of a penile fracture include a popping sound, severe pain, immediate swelling, and bruising, and it requires urgent medical attention to prevent long-term complications like erectile dysfunction or permanent curvature.
