Can a penile fracture heal on its own or is surgery always necessary? I'm really worried and not sure what to do about this

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

A penile fracture, which is a tear in the covering of the penis, is considered a urological emergency and usually requires surgery to avoid long-term complications. While some sources suggest immediate surgery, others acknowledge that it can be performed within 24-48 hours. Delaying surgery can increase the risk of complications

I'm experiencing nightfall about 5 or 6 times a month, and when it happens, a white sticky liquid comes out, which I think might be sperm. But when I try to masturbate like most guys do, nothing comes out except urine. I also had sex with my girlfriend using a condom, but didn't feel like any sperm came out then either. Is something wrong with me, or should I be worried about not being able to ejaculate properly?

Possible Causes* 1. *Ear Infection*: Middle ear infection (otitis media) or outer ear infection (otitis externa) can cause ear pain, heaviness, and numbness. 2. *Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder*: TMJ connects the jawbone to the skull. Disorders in this joint can cause ear pain, headaches, and numbness. 3. *Migraine or Tension Headache*: Headaches can cause pain, heaviness, and numbness on one side of the head. 4. *Sinusitis*: Inflammation of the sinuses can cause pain, pressure, and numbness in the face, including the ear area. 5. *Dental Issues*: Toothaches, abscesses, or gum disease can radiate pain to the ear and head area. Self-Care* 1. *Apply Warm Compresses*: Warm compresses can help relieve ear pain and discomfort. 2. *Manage Stress*: Stress can exacerbate headaches and ear pain. Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga. 3. *Maintain Good Oral Hygiene*: Brush and floss regularly to prevent dental issues.
