Boston (SmartAboutHealth) - A new story plot on the hit ABC show Grey’s Anatomy features one of the mains tars suffering a penile fracture, or a “broken penis.” This has sparked interest by viewers as many are unaware if this is actually possible.

Dr. Mark Sloan, a character on the hit show Grey’s Anatomy played by Eric Dane, suffered an immense amount of pain in the show.

He was having intercourse with one of the interns, and the sister of the star Meredith Gray, Lexie Gray.

While they were going through the act, Dr. Sloan actually broke his penis.

So the question of many viewers is, can you really break this part of your body?

Well, actually, it is possible to break your part just like McSteamy did.

Research has proven that this is rare, but can happen in young men when they are erect.

The private part can actually crack, causing immense pain.

The only way to treat it is with pain killer drugs, and ice.

Abnormal force can cause this part of your body to “break.”
