Early morning erectile pain in post burn penile contracture – When is appropriate surgical correction indicated? A case report

Abstract

Penile contracture is an example of intrinsic perineal contracture that can result from poorly managed scalding injury. This resulted in early morning painful erectile pain in a pubertal male. Contracture release corrected deformity and relieved pain. Pre-pubertal surgical correction of penile contracture is indicated to avoid painful erection at puberty. Appropriate referral to specialized centers will improve outcome. Keywords: Erectile pain, Contracture, Penile
