A man broke his penis in three places after it snapped against his partner during sex.
The 36-year-old, from Tanzania, showed up at the hospital a few hours after his blinding injury with a painful, swollen and bloody member.
He heard a loud “snap” after his penis hit his partner’s perineum – the skin between the vagina and anus – with a “very high” impact.
Scans showed the unnamed man, whose horrific injury was shared in a medical journal, had broken three different parts of his penis.
Medics operated on him to resolve the “extremely rare urological emergency” and he made a full recovery.

Detailing the story in the Case Reports from the International Journal of Surgerydoctors said that the patient went to the hospital with a swollen penis.
He complained that it was painful and that he had spent five hours bleeding from his urethra – the tube that expels urine and semen from the body.
His penis “slipped, lost its way, and hit the female perineal area while trying to reinsert it,” the medics wrote.
He quickly lost his erection and was in pain.
The patient went to a nearby health center, where he was given pain medication and referred to Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center.
Urologists at the hospital, led by Dr Bartholomeo Nicholaus Ngowi, said his penis was ‘a bit twisted’, bloated and covered in blood. But the rest of his genitals seemed normal.
The anatomy of an erection is based on two spongy tubes that fill with blood and harden, called the corpora carvenosa, and a firm, fibrous sheath that surrounds them, the tunica albuginea.
An ultrasound revealed that he had broken a blood vessel in the corpora cavernosa.
And an MRI showed a tear from left to right through the tunica albuginea, corpora carvenosa and corpus spongiosum, which is erectile tissue. The scan also showed that there was a partial tear in the urethra and swelling.
Although there are no bones in the penis, these injuries are still known as a penile fracture.
The patient was rushed to emergency surgery, where a urologist repaired the fracture by “degloving” the penis and suturing the corpora cavernosum as well as the urethra and corpus spongiosum.
The man was fired three days later.
At a six-month checkup, the man reported that his sex life had resumed without any problems and his penis had returned to normal.
The doctors said only penile fractures are uncommon.
And they ‘rarely’ involve all three ‘erectile bodies’ – the two corpora carvenosa and corpus spongiosum.
Penile fractures are most common during sex, but can also happen during masturbation or if a man rolls over in his sleep, doctors said.
The impact when the patient’s penis hit his partner’s perineum must have been “very high” to cause “such a serious fracture,” they added.
