I am 25 ears old and I had a cut behind my penis tip last night while having sex with my girl friend and i didn t notice the bleeding immediately and my penis was hard with the cut and loss of blood. Then, I cleaned the wound and treated it with bentadine to arrest the bleeding. I also checked for blood in the urine and there appears to be none. I want to know if i have severed an artery or something cause i am not able to get an erection since last night! How long shud i wait? and how serious is my condition?? Very Scared
Hi, Thanks for writing in. The tear in your penis may get better without treatment. Avoid sexual activity until the tear has healed. Once it has healed, you can try using a lubricant during sex to prevent the problem from happening again. It is not a serious issue and might take 2 weeks to heal. Right now you are required to keep your genital clean and Chat Doctor.  Please wash with warm water twice a day to avoid any infection. You may apply newsprint ointment over the torn frenulum. Since the bleeding seems to have stopped, you do not need surgical suturing. It may happen that a scar might form in the area, if this happens then there is shortening of frenulum and might be released by minor surgery. This cannot be known now and will be obvious only after one month. Please wear loose inner clothes and maintain genital hygiene. Avoid masturbation or sex for two weeks.
