    Damage to the corpus cavernosum can cause subcutaneous hematoma of the penis, which can also be accompanied by pain. In severe cases, it can also cause sexual dysfunction and penile vascular priapism, which requires examination and treatment at the urology department of the hospital.

    When the corpus cavernosum is damaged, blood will penetrate into the subcutaneous tissue of the penis, causing hematoma. Clinically, there will be obvious pain. Especially when the penis is erect, the symptoms will be aggravated. At this time, blood circulation will be affected, venous return will be blocked, fibrous scars and penile induration will appear, affecting normal sexual life.

    When the corpus cavernosum of the penis is damaged, a cold compress can be applied to the penis, and a pressure bandage is also required. If the symptoms are severe, repair surgery of the corpus cavernosum is required.
