Hey all,
Recently, I suffered what I believe to a penile fracture, or some sort of other injury. We won't go into details on how, but I have some questions for anyone with some willingness to venture a guess to the answers of those questions.
For starters, about the injury. I noticed it probably not immediately, though at the time I wasn't exactly comfortable anyway, and I seem to recall feeling a "pop" sensation, like when get a cramp in your neck, and you stretch it out and feel that popping sensation as things realign. Like I said, I can't confirm this, because this is a sort of "after the fact" thing that I realized a few days afterwards.
Initially, it became quite uncomfortable, bordering on painful to get an erection, and would be painful if at any kind of pressure was put on it (even from, say, tight underwear or pants). The pain has lessened since, but it is hardly gone away entirely. Perhaps I'm used to it, or avoid activities that would aggravate it, but that's normal for any kind of persistent injury. I have NOT been evaluated by a urologist yet - it didn't strike me as a severe injury immediately. I am likely to visit one soon, however.
Everything I've read regarding penile injuries/fractures indicates that surgery is the only option to correct them. Obviously, if this is the case, I'd really rather not have to do multiple surgeries on my tag-alongs, Weebl and Bob down there. I'd really rather just take care of two birds with one stone, and seek SRS sooner rather than later.
Pie taste of sausage and beans.
Questions:
1) Most SRS surgeons are urologists, isn't that correct? Or at least they have experience in that field? I've found a number of sites during the searching about this problem that indicate that doctors who perform these types of repair surgeries also perform SRS, though my leading candidate, Dr. McGinn does not have anything on her site about it.
2) Some of these surgeries are quite costly, equivalent to SRS. If this is the case, that is, my SRS surgeon of choice can perform that, does anyone know if they could perform the SRS as the corrective surgery? Granted, it would require coding the surgery as a reconstructive or some such surgery, but on the larger picture, it's not really different.
Basically, yes, I know that these questions are just much better off being answered by the doctors and their staff directly, but I just want to get a sense of your thoughts before I went forward and asked this to the professionals.
