According to the New England Journal of Medicine , the man heard a snap and noticed a rush of blood from the meatus.
"The penile “fracture” refers to a tear in the tunica albuginea (penis), the watertight fibrous outer sheath of the corpora cavernosa (erectile tissue) that is responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of an erection," the journal wrote.
The agonising injury was taken to the operating room for emergency repair, and according to the report was discharged from the hospital the morning after surgery.
"The patient was seen 3 months and 6 months after surgery and had regained erectile function without appreciable plaque formation or penile curvature," the journal wrote.
One dares say he will be a bit more cautious in future.
