What are the symptoms of cavernous necrosis of the penis?

Necrosis of the corpus cavernosum of the penis may cause symptoms such as black and purple discoloration of the penile skin, softening of the penis, and difficulty in urination. Patients need to take corresponding treatments according to different causes.

The cause of cavernous necrosis may be related to a variety of factors, such as patients' bad habits such as long-term drinking or frequent sexual life, indirect damage to the cavernous body, and local postoperative infection, which can all lead to cavernous necrosis. Patients should go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations in time. After clarifying their own conditions, they should undergo surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, they should take ibuprofen sustained-release capsules and amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium tablets as directed by the doctor for anti-infective treatment.

Patients should protect their penis to avoid damage, clean the area regularly, and change underwear frequently.
