Urological Management of Complications of Penile Constriction Devices:

Urological Management of Complications of Penile Constriction Devices: French National Retrospective Study and Literature Review

Wearing a penile ring is justified by international societies of Urology (AFU, EAU, AUA) only for the treatment of erectile dysfunction with vacuum. In this case, it is a constriction rubber band that can only be worn for 30 minutes.

Nowadays, wearing a cockring device for recreational purposes can lead to complications secondary to ischemia caused by strangulation of the penis and/or scrotum.

The variety of devices and materials used (metallic and/or alloys in particular) sometimes makes it difficult to remove them, requiring expensive surgery and dedicated equipment.

There is no official recommendation for the management of these complications.
