###Human: I am having a bruise at the base of the penis shaft with pain after intercourse. Kindly advise. ###Assistant: Hi. This could be a fractured penis (tear in the hard lining of penis rods below the skin). It has to be confirmed by penile doppler and if present, has to be repaired by small surgery. If not repaired, it may lead to poor erections in the future. Avoid intercourse for a few days. Also, avoid vigorous intercourse in the future. Take care. Till then you may take some anti-inflammatory medication.
