Penile Pressure Ulcers Secondary to Condom and Indwelling Catheters and Prone Positioning
Penile pressure ulcers are painful sores that develop on the penis due to prolonged pressure on the skin and underlying tissues. These ulcers can occur when there is continuous pressure without relief, leading to poor blood circulation and tissue damage. Male patients with spinal cord disorders (SCD) are at a higher risk because they may have limited mobility, leading to unrelieved pressure on sensitive areas.
