I broke my penis masturbating when I was a kid. There was an audible snap and it had an offset in the middle like you see on a road after an earthquake, was constantly weeping blood from the opening, and hurt like hell.
I wrapped that sucker in toilet paper daily and carried on, never told a soul.
Edit: apparently, I was lucky https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/sexual-health/expert-answers/penis-fracture/faq-20058154
I will eventually unclench after reading this, but I doubt it will be soon…
You should never fell embarrassed to talk to your doctor, they are there to provide the medical care you need.
It’s just another day for them is all it really is.
True, but when you already know what the doctor will suggest and don’t have $250 to pay the copay, it makes it far easier to justify.
No, my fear of it being something horrible and permanent is always stronger than any embarrassment I feel.
I had a weird red spot on the tip of my dick for almost 2 years that I put off going to the doctor for. I knew it wasn’t an STD (or at least trusted my wife enough to not consider it), but it had me worried for a while.
Eventually showed it to a doctor and they were like “oh you have Psoriasis, which is nothing to worry about. Here’s a cream that will clear it up in a week.”
Honestly I can’t believe it took me 2 years to work up the courage to get it checked out. In the end it was a simple 5 minute conversation that relieved a ton of stress.
