06:26 Treatment and Surgery
Penile fractures require emergency surgery to repair the rupture and prevent complications like scarring or deformity.
17:55 Prevention Tips and Conclusion
The episode concludes with tips on preventing injuries, such as avoiding excessive bending during sex and ensuring proper lubrication, while emphasizing the importance of seeking immediate care.
