=Fracture of the Penis= has occurred from the giving way of the erectile
tissue during coition, in consequence of the state of hyperæmia of the
penis. The organ appears broken, and cannot assume the erect condition
beyond the part injured.
=Paraphymosis=, by the strangulation of the glans in front of a tight
prepuce, may, if not relieved, lead to inflammation, and even gangrene.
=Balanitis= commonly occurs as the result of local irritation, not
unfrequently set up by a gonorrhœa. The prepuce is much swollen,
infiltrated and reddened. The inflammation is generally complicated with
inflammation of the internal lamina of the foreskin, and the mucous
membrane of the glans (posthitis), giving rise to excoriation, exudation
of coagulable lymph, adhesion of the prepuce to the glans, suppuration
and ulceration. “When chronic, it induces exuberant formation of
epidermis; and if the deeper parts of the parenchyma of the glans are
involved, obliteration, cartilaginous induration and atrophy follow.”
=Herpes of the Glans and Prepuce=, is characterized by the formation of
small vesicles or excoriated points upon the mucous membrane of this
region, chiefly occurring in persons of a gouty habit of body, with an
irritable mucous membrane.
_Psoriasis_ of the prepuce, produces a red, thickened, and fissured
condition of the part. Phymosis is apt to occur as a consequence.
=Chancres.= These specific ulcerations form usually upon the glans,
although they may be found in the internal surface of the prepuce, the
frænum, and near the meatus within the urethra.
The _Hunterian_ or _hard chancre_, is nearly circular, deep and
excavated; base and edges are as hard as cartilage, but the hardness is
circumscribed; its color is livid or tawny. It may occur upon the
integument, the glans, or the body of the penis.
The _non-indurated_ or _soft chancre_ is more frequently found on the
inner surface of the prepuce. It appears as a foul, yellowish, or tawny
sore. Indolent fungous granulations are subsequently thrown out, unless
it be situated upon the glans.
_Phagedenic chancres_ are of irregular shape, their edges ragged or
undermined, their surface yellow and dotted with red streaks. The
surrounding margin of skin usually looks pulpy and œdematous; but is
sometimes firm and of a vivid red.
The cicatrices left by chancres which have healed, are whitish, more or
less hard, striated and depressed.
Morbid Growths.
_Warts_, belonging to the class of epithelial tumors, sometimes form on
the glans, or on the inside of the prepuce. They are commonly the result
of repeated inflammations.
