Isolated anterior urethral trauma in man after coitus: a case report

Abstract

Penile fracture with or without urethral injury after coitus presents with severe pain and immediate penile detumescence accompanied by a cracking sound. Hematuria or voiding difficulty are common findings and suggest associated urethral injury. The objective of this report is to describe an unusual complication of coital trauma diagnosed based on clinical findings. The isolated urethral injury is rare but is one of the causes of male coital trauma and may be suspected when patients present urethral bleeding.
