Brief Answer: Need to attend ER. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for posting your query. The huge leg split with bleeding from penis is likely to be due to a urethral injury. You need to attend an emergency room as soon as possible for stitching up the wound and catheterisation. Consulting a urologist will be more helpful as an immediate repair of urethra can be planned. I hope this answers your query. In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out. Wishing you good health. Regards. Dr. Praveen Tayal.
