Rahul Iyer, a 28-year-old software engineer,...
Rahul Iyer, a 28-year-old software engineer, was newly married and had recently moved to the city for his job. The injury occurred during an intimate moment with his wife, Anjali. He heard a loud 'pop' and felt immediate, excruciating pain, followed by rapid swelling and bruising. He was terrified and deeply embarrassed. At the ER, the urologist, Dr. Sharma, diagnosed a penile fracture, a rupture of the erectile tissue. He explained the urgency, stating that without surgical repair within 24-48 hours, Rahul risked permanent curvature, erectile dysfunction, or pain during intercourse. The surgery was successful. Recovery involved a catheter for a week, strict abstinence for 6 weeks, and significant anxiety. Dr. Sharma was reassuring, framing it as a straightforward mechanical repair. After three months, Rahul regained full function. The emotional journey was profound: initial fear and shame, especially about his new marriage, gave way to relief and gratitude. The experience brought him and Anjali closer through open communication and mutual support.
