Blood After Pumping

Since I’m not allowed to post in the forum where this is relevant unfortunately, I’ll hope I can get help here.

I have been pumping daily for several years now with no ill side effects. Recently, after a session, I noticed blood trickling out of my urethra. There was no pain of any kind so I ignored it. It happened again at the next session, so this time I took a break. A long break. Three weeks at least. I just did my first session today, a very light ten minute session. And again, the blood was there. How worried should I be about this and what might be going on?

Simply give it more times and when you resume, lower your vacuum level.

Definitely more rest, I estimate around 3-6months.

My thoughts as to how I estimated that is because we don’t know if its an internal vein thats developed from the corpus spongiosum to the urethra, soft tissue like that takes around 3months to heal for smooth muscle that surrounds the urethra

Do you have a pressure gauge on your pump? If so what pressure were you using when you were pumping daily and for how many minutes did you pump for? Then when you said you were using a light routine, what pressure was that? With pumping the amount of pressure being used is very important especially when injuries are occurring.

I normally pump for an hour in five minute intervals at maximum pressure using a bathmate pump. After my three week rest I just did two five minute sessions at max pressure as usual.

Actually I also use a vacuum chamber penis extender, and this is where the blood appeared for the first time, not after pumping. But now any time I put on the chamber, or any time I pump, there is some bleeding. The bleeding stops after a few minutes and only returns if I use the extender or the pump.

But whatever the injury is, I am pretty certain it is within the glans and not the shaft, because it did occur the first time when using the extender, which vacuums the glans only.

That vacuum extender puts a lot of force directly on the glans and is the likely cause of your injury. I would put that on the shelf for a long while. After a couple of weeks rest, go back to the pump but not at max pressure. Start like a newbie for awhile and take it easy.

Too much pressure. Happened to me. I switched to a pump with a gauge. I never exceed 10 and mostly 5 or less. Hasn’t happened since

You have burst some capillaries inside your urethra because you pumped at too high of a vacuum level. A few more weeks of rest to let them heal. Don’t pump at max pressure (vacuum.)

It may just be from just over stretching the urethra, I got that the first time I jelqed (which was erect because I wasn’t taking the instructions and precautions seriously and was excited by how much I could expand it). But I think I remember pain when that occurred, especially when urinating.

It would probably be a good idea to go to a doctor if you can, not everyone can, since it’s persisting. That you don’t feel any pain from it makes me think it’s not coming from the urethra.

I agree with the others - be careful on the duration in the pump and vacuum pressure. Any blood is a sure sign that things are being overdone

Have you seen a Doctor yet?
