Fracture disruption is a common problem that occurs mainly in men who have a short brake, and may rupture immediately during the first intercourse, causing bleeding and severe pain near the penis glans.
In these cases, the most important thing is to stop the bleeding by putting pressure on the spot with a sterile compress or clean tissue, because, as the tear usually happens with the erect organ, there is a higher concentration of blood in the place, which can take up to 20 minutes to stop bleeding.
In most cases, no treatment is needed, as the tissue regenerates and heals alone in a few days, it is only recommended to avoid intimate contact during this period, as well as maintaining good hygiene in the area, to avoid infections.
Care to accelerate healing
To ensure faster healing and without complications, care must be taken during recovery, such as:
- Avoid striking the place, avoiding sports with a high risk of injuries such as football, for example; Avoid intimate contact for 3 to 7 days, until healing is complete; Wash the intimate area after urinating; Apply a healing cream 2 to 3 times a day, such as Cicalfate, to speed healing.
In addition, when signs of infection appear, such as increased pain, swelling or intense redness of the wound, it is recommended to consult a urologist to start treatment with antibiotic ointments, such as Fusidic acid or Bacitracin, for example.
In the first few days it is normal to feel a slight burning sensation, especially after urinating, however this discomfort gradually disappears as the brake heals.
How to prevent the breakup from happening
The best way to avoid breaking the foreskin brake is to start the intimate relationship gently to assess whether stretching the brake causes pain, however, using lubricant can also help, as it prevents the skin from being pulled excessively.
If it is identified that the brake is too short and causes discomfort, it is advisable to consult a urologist to perform a small surgery, called a frenuloplasty, in which a small cut is made that allows the brake to stretch further, preventing it from breaking during intimate contact.
When to go to the doctor
In most cases treatment can be done at home, however, it is advisable to go to the doctor when:
- The pain is very intense and does not improve over time; Healing does not happen in a week; Signs of infection appear, such as swelling, redness or release of pus; Bleeding does not decrease just with the compression of the site.
In addition, when the brake heals but breaks again, it may be necessary to go to the urologist to assess the need for surgery to cut the brake and prevent the problem from happening again.
