The type of injury dictates the treatment; however, surgery is a common treatment. Most traumatic penile injury warrant an emergency repairing surgery to prevent complications and maintain functionality of the penis sexually and urologically.
The superficial dorsal vein of the penis belongs to the superficial drainage system. It is located within the superficial dartos fascia, a continuation of the Colles' fascia, on the dorsal surface of the penis and, in contrast to the deep dorsal vein, it lies outside the deeper Buck's fascia. [2]
Venous leak is an inability to maintain an erection in the presence of sufficient arterial blood flow through the cavernosal arteries of the penis. [6] The defect lies in the excessive drainage of veins in the cavernosal tissue of the penis, which undermines normal erectile function.
Penile fracture is rupture of one or both of the tunica albuginea, the fibrous coverings that envelop the penis's corpora cavernosa. It is caused by rapid blunt force to an erect penis , usually during vaginal intercourse , or aggressive masturbation . [ 4 ]
The condition involves the hardening of a lymph vessel connected to a vein in the penis.

It can be felt as a hardened lump or "vein" even when the penis is flaccid, and is even more ...
Buck's fascia is superficial to the tunica albuginea and covers all of the structures described. [1] Venous drainage is performed by the deep and superficial dorsal veins of the penis. The dorsal arteries of the penis are located adjacent to the deep dorsal vein and a cavernous artery is located in the center of each corpus cavernosum.
The treatment involved the surgical resection and ligation of a segment of the deep dorsal vein, a procedure that aimed to reduce pathologic venous outflow from the glans during erections. This treatment effectively restored normal glans tumescence. [8] Veins and arteries of a human penis in cross section
It tends not to share the common blue tint with a vein however. It can be felt as a hardened lump or "vein" even when the penis is flaccid, and is even more prominent during an erection. It is considered a benign physical condition. It is fairly common and can follow a particularly vigorous sexual activity for men, and tends to go away if given ...
