Fascia of the Male Penis

Penile fascia is a special tissue that covers the outer surface of the penis. This thin layer consists of elastin and collagen fibers, which give it strength and elasticity. Fascia plays an important role in the erection process by providing blood flow to the male reproductive organ.

Fascia is a protective mechanism for organs and tissues from damage because it prevents the skin from stretching and prevents it from possibly cracking or tearing. In addition, fascia acts as a shock absorber, softening shocks and vibrations during friction during sex. Men who exercise regularly and lead an active lifestyle may experience some problems in the fascia area. This may be due to stretching or tearing of the tissue, when pain occurs, as well as the inability to maintain a high-quality erection for a long time. Often these problems occur after weight loss, lack of physical activity or excessive exercise.
