Dear Daniel
You may have suffered a 'penile fracture' which is usually treatable. You should see a doctor quickly (where are you?)
The 'fracture' (there is no bone in the penis!) is actually a tear in the thick fibrous coat (the tunica albuginea) that surrounds the corpora cavernosa tissue that produces an erection.
Some typical symptoms are a 'cracking' noise, pain, bruising and immediate loss of erection. Sometimes there can be bleeding from the urethra (if the urethra is damaged).
The key elements in treating a fractured penis are pain relief, ice packs, support and anti-inflammatory drugs. NB. Always cover ice packs with a cloth before applying to skin!!
Hope this helps
Dear Daniel
You need to get medical advice quickly, but you don't say where you are.
As I said in my last paragraph, the key elements in treating a fractured penis are pain relief, ice packs, support and anti-inflammatory drugs.
You will also need a urethrogram to exclude urethral damage.
If the urethra is not damaged, any collection of blood is drained and repair is carried out to the damaged corpora and tunica.
But get medical attention quickly!
