Did I have a dick fracture? How do I avoid getting injured again?

I think I had a dick fracture. I consider you to be dick experts so I would like to hear if you think I had a dick fracture, what caused it, and how I should behave from now onwards.

1. I NOTICED THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG
When I took a piss I noticed that I had some soreness along the upper right side of my shaft. From the base of the shaft to a few centimeters (an inch) in on it I experienced slight pain when pressing with my fingers.

I did’t remember feeling this discomfort before. I thought about possible reasons for this:

- I had been doing the beginning jelq approximately once per week for a few months. Last time I did it I had no towel, so I heated my dick with a sock. Maybe that heat wasn’t enough? Maybe the sock didn’t cover enough of the shaft? Maybe I pressed to hard when jelqing? Maybe I am sensitive to jelqing?

- My girlfriend can be a bit rough when giving hand jobs. Maybe I got injured?

- It sometimes happens that I “miss” during vigorous intercourse. Maybe I got injured?

This pain to the upper right side of my shaft was new, but only something I experienced when I pressed with my fingers, so I didn’t think about it more.

2. I SHOULDN’T HAVE HAD INTERCOURSE
Later that night me and my girlfriend had sex. During sex I could feel all of her pelvic circular motions. It felt like my dick was getting crushed by a rolling tank, although we had gentle sex. My pain was not severe, but I felt that this should not go on, so I aborted.

3. WAKING UP THE NEXT DAY
The next day when I woke up I could see that my dick had swollen on the right side. I could see that at about 1 cm (half an inch) from the base of my shaft there was a bump. This swelling continued to the middle of the glands. This swelling had also crooked my dick to the left. I have foreskin. Usually, even with the foreskin on I can very clearly see a contour where the glands begin. This contour was no longer visible on the right side of my dick. The swollen tissue seemed to be slightly darker than the rest of my dick.

I didn’t have any pain. I didn’t see any blood. I could piss as normal. I only felt some soreness when my dick moved abruptly, or when it touched against my underwear. But I was worried so went to a doctor. I got to meet a urologist. He said that it looked like a dick fracture and that he had seen much worse. He said that I should take it easy for a few days and it will heal completely. He also performed an ultrasound of the shaft.

4. THE FOLLOWING DAYS (APPROXIMATELY)
I get normal erections, like before.
Day 3 the swelling disappeared
Day 7 I no longer had any pain when I got an erection. Before this I got some pain when getting an erection.
Day 10 the slightly discolorated area seemed to shirk away to a smaller and smaller area on the upper right side of my dick right between the shaft and the glands
Day 10 my dick feels like normal at all times (except see below)
Day 14 I think I no longer would get any pain when manually steering the dick downwards so that it points straight out from the body when I have an erection
Day 16 I still haven’t had sex or masturbated since the acute injury and I haven’t pulled back the foreskin either.

Do you have any advice to give? Does it sound like a dick fracture? What caused it? In what ways should I be extra careful in the future?

I would tend to agree with your doctor, that he will have seen much worse. The most likely cause would be abrupt bending from ‘missing’ during vigorous intercourse. It sounds as if you ruptured a few fibres of the CC’s, not really a true fracture, but enough to cause some bruising and swelling. Your recovery speed would seem to bear this out.

I would recommend listening to your body as to when you masturbate or have intercourse, and be very gentle the first few times when you do. From what you have said, you should make a full recovery.

Yesterday I pulled back my foreskin. Right behind the glands, under the foreskin I have a new hard ridge. It feels like a hard vein and it goes around the glands, under the foreskin. What might this be? A new vain? A blister? Something else?
