When it comes to masturbation, simplicity guarantees safety. But because diversity is the salt of life, many guys diversify this routine with new elements: exotic methods or different items writes Men’sHealth. However strange as it may seem, masturbation can often lead to injuries.
Here’s a 28-year-old man. He decided that it would be great to restrict blood flow in the penis with a plastic bottle. You probably have a clue what it ended up with. According to the Indian Journal of Surgery, a member of the bottle got stuck. It “pinched” his penis and caused edema, a sudden build-up of blood in the organ that doubled its normal size when aroused. It is not known whether this incident had long-term health consequences, as the patient was too shy to answer doctors’ questions when he was discharged from the hospital.
Too frequent games
After two days of vomiting, fever, swelling of the scrotum, and muscle pain, the 29-year-old finally decided to see a doctor. Fourier gangrene was diagnosed. It is a rare case of traumatized testicular tissue being infected with various microorganisms. The reason? He masturbated so often that rubbing through the skin of the penis resulted in an infection. He was prescribed antibiotic treatment and several skin tissue reconstruction surgeries to save the injured penis from pathogenic bacteria.
Fracture from masturbation
Although it is thought to be related to boisterous sex, a study described in the journal Trauma and Acute Care Surgery found that regular sex accounted for only 19% of all penile fractures. An impressive 60% of them are masturbating. What do you think is the most common cause? According to the study, it is “deliberate bending and deformation”. In short, the guys squeeze their organ too hard and bend it so that the cylindrical tubes, which fill with blood during an erection, rupture. According to the authors of the study, internal bleeding and the multiple consequences of such a fracture can lead to penile dysfunction, although a penile fracture is usually treated without complications.
Cocktail shaker
During masturbation, the penis does not always break due to extremely vigorous hand movements. According to several studies published in the Journal of the Canadian Association of Urology, many men who have broken a penis have been injured while masturbating at the wheel. In particular, during sudden braking, the penis crashed into the steering wheel or panel. There are also cases where the penis broke when hitting a shower wall or a cocktail shaker (although no detailed description is given here, it is clear that the goal was to finish the container).
Foreign bodies
It is not worth trying to insert something into the penis. For some, this is obvious, but according to a traumatology department, someone had the idea to insert an electrical cord into the urethra and thus stimulate it. Another lover of sharp senses inserted a cord into the penis so deeply that it wrapped around the bladder. Both men miraculously recovered completely.
