Damage from clamping - Can you advise

Hi gents,

I’m a newbie as far as posting is concerned, but have been reading about & doing PE for a while & achieving reasonable results.

Last week I overdid my routine, whilst clamping & have damaged my unit.

I now have a lump, 0.5” x 0.2” x 0.07” on the underside. This is not a vein, it appears fleshy under the skin. I am not a doctor, but to me it looks like I have ruptured my tunica - does this make sense ?. Has anyone experienced the same ?. Any advice ?. Will it heal ?. Visit to the docs needed ?

Thanks

The tunica surrounds the erectile tissues which expand when filled with blood. If you had ruptured the tunica you’d have a sizable bruise or even a hematoma (collection of blood). It’s likely a soft tissue injury or perhaps a lymph vessel burst leaving a small collection of lymph fluid. If left alone it should heal. The body has a wonderful way of correcting these things. Stop your exercises for a week and see how it goes.

Thanks for the info. The injury was done ten days ago & I can’t see much change. As you said, I will wait another week & hope for a reduction in size.

You have waited 10 days and still have a lump. Personally, I would visit my doctor & get a referral to a Urologist. You don’t want to take any chances with your penis.

Be truthful about what you were doing, so the doctor/urologist can make a proper diagnosis.

I agree with what West said, it’s most likely a soft tissue injury or perhaps a lymph vessel blow out. It could also be a small T-vein just under the skin. Since you’re from the UK so you are probably uncut. The foreskin is literally webbed with small veins and capillaries, any which could have a small thrombosis. If it is in a thick part of the skin you might not be able to discern the vein but only the lump.

However, if it has gone unchanged for this long a trip to the doc wouldn’t hurt.

Don’t you guys pay through the nose at the gas pump over there for Healthcare? Get it looked at, and please keep us posted.

R2 & BG,

Thanks for the notes.

The lump is half way along the shaft. This is not a foreskin issue - cut.

I looked more closely at the lump, it is within the skin & light coloured so it can’t be a vein. I will check again in a few days & if no change go to the docs.

Friday - saw my doc - He thinks this is a superficial injury & didn’t require any immediate treatment. He recommended I monitor healing over the next six weeks & call back if necessary.

I will stay away from PEing for another week or so & consider restarting with a steady build up to my routine after that week - depending on the healing of the lump, of course.

It’s now about six weeks since I damaged my unit clamping. All is healing well. The swelling is down - almost back to normal with just a small reddish discolouration. I will start PEing in approx two weeks from now.

I checked & length is the same but I have lost girth (0.3”). I hope this is regained quickly & I can continue to my goal - 8.75” BPEL x 6” EG. (8.75” BPEL will give me a useful 8”).

When I reach my goal size I guess I will have to maintain - Can anyone give me an idea on how much maintenance is required ?
