I believe that I have injured my suspensory ligament one-sided when my erect penis was bent downwards about 9 months ago, but I am still unsure if it is torn or just stretched. My penis feels instable at the root, seems to hang a little lower and has a different erection angle. The penile veins are emerging more and more. After 9 months I still have a dragging pain in my pelvic area, which keeps me optimistic that the healing process is not finished yet.
According to the internet, a stretched ligament takes a few months to heal, whereas a severed ligament never heals by itself, leaving just the latter possibility for me. However, in the past months the small gap at the penile root seemed to get smaller and my erections became more stable. Then again, this state never lasted very long before it got worse again.
This seems to be a rare condition, so none of the many urologists I visited could actually tell what is going on. I would like to understand how you can injure the ligament one-sided, as pictures show it in the middle of the penile root. Could it actually be the fundiform ligament which was injured?
Can you see or feel the ligaments through the skin and recognize a torn ligament from the gap? If I can still get decent erections, does this definitely rule out the possibility that the ligament is torn?
