An anonymous Canadian man is suing a hospital for $155,000 Canadian (about $142,000 U.S.), claiming negligence and "indescribable anguish". The man had fractured his penis while having sex with his wife and surgery at the hospital to correct the injury allegedly left him with a dick that was "about an inch" shorter than before.
Wondering how a penis can be fractured? Wonder no more!
A fracture can occur when there is trauma to the erect penis. If it is bent suddenly or forcefully while engorged, the trauma may rupture the lining of one of the two cylinders in the penis (corpus cavernosum) responsible for erections. The injury is often accompanied by an audible cracking sound, then dark bruising as blood escapes from the cylinder.
