translated from Spanish: Man ends with necrosis on his limb after accidental bite by his partner

A bizarre case affected a 43-year-old man, who had to be hospitalized as a emergency due to a painful glans wound. It all started about five days earlier, when his partner “accidentally bit him on the tip of his penis” while having sex, and while he initially didn’t think it was necessary to go to the doctor, this was inevitable when the wound began to show signs of Necrosis. According to the medical journal “Visual Journal of Emergency Medicine”, doctors examined the patient and saw “a well-delimited 3 cm black necrotic wound (…), but despite this, his condition had no other symptoms, as they noted that the patient “was afebril and looked good.” The man in question received a standard procedure, with antibiotic vein and was admitted to the hospital to ensure that the necrosis did not spread, which fortunately did not happen, as it only stayed in the glans. After the success of the treatment, it was prolonged and was eventually discharged. Necrosis went into remission and the patient was left with only “a minimal glans deformity”. In the medical journal they noted in this regard that “in such cases, patients who are bitten in the penis do not usually seek immediate medical attention so the disease usually progresses” and were emphatically to warn that “progression to a skin injury ( ulceration) and infection of it is common and requires some ongoing antibiotic care and therapy. In some cases, bites can lead to life-threatening infections, such as Fournier gangrene that requires emergency surgical treatment.”
