Many men know the feeling of a sore member. It usually happens after an extended or rough intimacy session, when the manhood skin is irritated from constant friction. A sore member can also result from a variety of other causes (none of which are nearly as much fun!). This might include rigorous exercise, wearing a new style of underwear, self-pleasuring too often or even sleeping in an awkward position. Good manhood care is usually all it takes to remedy the problem of a sore member rather quickly.

Sometimes a man’s organ can become so sore that it makes him wonder if he has suffered a male organ fracture. This cringe-worthy injury involves serious damage to the manhood as a result of significant trauma, usually during intimate activity. Just how clear is the difference between a sore member and a male organ fracture?

Sore member or male organ fracture?

Make no mistake: If it’s a male organ fracture, there will be no doubt. A sore member, no matter how bad the soreness might seem, is a leisurely walk in the park compared to a male organ fracture.

A sore member often has other signs associated with it. There might be redness and dryness, irritation, and even peeling of the manhood skin. There could be some abrasions as well. Slight swelling and some very sensitive and tender areas are also hallmarks of a sore member. In most cases, it will be evident why the soreness is there – such as an adventurous evening with an enthusiastic partner.

A male organ fracture is much more serious. That seriousness is often evident immediately, as there will be a ‘pop’ or ‘crack’ sound accompanied by excruciating pain. Any hardness will immediately vanish, but might be replaced by significant and painful swelling. The manhood might also bend to one side or the other.

The fracture usually happens when the manhood slips out of the partner during intimate relations, and then winds up bending against the pelvic bone on the next thrust. Too much pressure and a fracture is the result.

But how can it be a fracture? After all, there are no bones in the manhood!

Here’s what happens: The male organ becomes hard thanks to blood flow through two cylinders of spongy tissue known as the corporal body. The pressure of the blood in the corporal body is what keeps the member rigid during an erection. The corporal body is encased in the tunic, a tough protective outer membrane.

When a male organ fracture occurs, that ‘pop’ is the tunic rupturing. As soon as that happens, the corporal body loses the ability to stay firm, which leads to a very quick loss of hardness. The manhood might bend at the area of the fracture. It might also lead to immediate and serious bruising – or even some bleeding, if the fracture is severe enough.

Cures for sore member or male organ fracture

A male organ fracture is a medical emergency. When it happens, go straight to the emergency room. Remember that the pain can be severe, so it might be best to ask someone else to make that drive to the hospital – blacking out behind the wheel would definitely make a bad situation much worse! In most cases, surgical repair will be necessary to help ensure proper intimate function in the future.

Obviously a sore member is a much easier situation to handle. A high-quality manhood health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) can help reverse the damage and turn irritated skin into the smooth, supple skin it was meant to be. This can be achieved through powerful vitamins and nutrients, such as vitamin A, D, and E, applied directly to the skin in a strong moisturizer, such as Shea butter. Continue using the manhood health crème on a regular basis after the skin has returned to normal – this will ensure that the member stays as healthy as possible.
