Hello doctor,I injured the head of my penis, during masturbation, with a toilet paper roll. The cut seems to be half a centimeter long and blood came out but the bleeding stopped almost immediately. I used water to clean it (the blood seems to be stuck there) and then Betadine. Should I see a doctor or will it heal on its own?
Hello. If bleeding has stopped it is not necessary to see a doctor. Just apply Betadine (Povidone-Iodine) as already done by you and clean with Savlon (antiseptic) solution. Avoid masturbation for five to seven days. With this management, it may bleed again. In that case, you need to apply pressure with fingers. You can also put gauze and surround with dressing tape or a band-aid. During masturbation, avoid using things which can cause trauma to the penis. Or wear a condom which can provide a layer of protection. Avoid bending of an erect penis. For more information consult a urologist online -->
