If he has serious: injury - the only way to know for sure will be history, physical examination and X-rays. Take care.

I had an incident where I may have bent my penis down during an erection. No erection again for weeks. No swelling, bruising, or pain. Doctors said no fracture because of this but it took 6 weeks to get a little better. How much longer might it take?
