Glans injury - Help

Hi all,
First of all, I would appreciate if this thread could be moved to the injury section since I can not post there due to my newbie status. I wished I never had to write an injury report but there it is. I started PE’ing around 2-3 weeks ago. I started with the Newbie method (5min warm-up, 5min stretching, 10min jelqing, 5 min warm down). I injured myself last Friday in my PE session. I posted last week a thread about my insecurity regarding my foreskin while doing stretches and jelqs (for your reference: Is my foreskin stopping me from PE?). I think I injured myself while doing the manual stretches. I had problems with the grip and even though I tried to stretch a bit under the glans with the pull movement I eventually ended up holding right under the glans and using it as a resistance. I know this is very dangerous, but it happened. The first sessions I didn’t know about that, when I tried to change the grip in the session where the injury happened it still ended in this position. During the session and after the session I had no pain/bad feeling whatsoever. The next day should have been day two in my 2 day on - 2 off scheme. However I found my dick to be flabby and smaller than usual so I told myself to give it a rest. The next day the dick was still flabby, so during the afternoon I got the demand to masturbate to see if everything is alright. I masturbated successfully and without pain, EQ as usual, it just needed more time to get him erect. So far so good, then in the evening I started to have aches in the penis. The feeling is hard to describe, it felt like I couldn’t urinate, however it worked without problems and without pain. The ache was quite uncomfortable, so I couldn’t really sleep this night and I read a lot of injury stories which frighted me more. I also read more about venous and nervous injuries, which frightens me so much. During the night I masturbated again to see if it still works. It did, however the EQ was lower than usual. I also got another slight (unintentional) boner later that night when I randomly thought about a situation with a girl.

The next day (Monday) I had the whole time this ache in my dick, like not able to take a piss what still was no problem. The next day I was snoozing a few times in the morning and woke up regularly with an erected penis (but not that hard as usual, might also be an effect of delayed time between erection max and me waking up). I took this as a good sign and the ache was away as well, but I still had a strange feeling in my dick.
The night from yesterday to today I woke up twice with a boner (again not really hard). During the day the ache came back for 1-2 hours, I took L-Carnitin before since I thought that could help with the blood and the recovery (I can’t find another thing which I specifically did). The ache stopped very soon though, and now I’m still back with the strange feeling in my dick. The dick itself is turtleing at the moment. There is no discoloration at the glans (maybe slightly purple around the bottom of the glans). The glans itself is not numb, it’s still sensitive when I touch it, it’s not painful to touch it either, maybe a little bit uncomfortable. It just a strange feeling inside my dick.

Since I’m preparing for an exam on Friday, I was a bit distracted these days which was good, however in the nights the bad thoughts come to my mind. I also went to the gym twice, however it might not be a good idea, since I lift heavy (Deadlifts, Benchpress, Leg Press etc.) and this stresses the central nervous system, so I think I will take a break there as well.

From all the injury threads I read I saw that in similar cases there was no other possibility than just to wait. I’m really afraid that something bad happened to me, I really hope I will be fine. I consider seeing an urologist soon after my exam, however I think I just have to wait and hope. I try to eat very healthy, get enough sleep, don’t stress myself, don’t masturbate/PE/whatever. I did some warming with a washcloth as well.

Other information to my person:
24 years old
Sporty
Non-smoker
Normal weight, eating mostly healthy
Low alcohol consumption, no drugs, no medication
No anxiety, depression whatsoever

Is there anything I can do more? Do you have an idea what it could be/how bad it is? I didn’t find the exactly same case in my search so I hope you can help me. I would be really thankful for your help.

Let it rest, completely rest for at least 2 weeks. No checking,no masturbation; allow yourself the time to heal.

It sounds like you haven’t done anything serious, since you are still getting nocturnal erections. Also, if you don’t have any numbness, and good blood flow, these are all good signs.

The drop in EQ is probably due to you having a mild panic attack about the thought of your penis falling off in your sleep. ;)

Your mind is a powerful thing, and you’re not the first young guy to have a EQ problem after thinking their life is over.

Try and keep your hand off it for the next couple of weeks, (no masturbation), and do something else to keep your mind off it.

If things don’t get better after a couple of weeks, or things get worse for any reason, go and see a doctor to be sure.

Penis are pretty tough, so try not to worry. :)

That reminds me the first time I tried PE. Had a mental ED for one entire week, at 18!! Just relax and try to bend your mind to your will, that is what is giving most of the bad symptoms you’re getting. About the foreskin, just do PE ignoring it. You don’t have to keep it behind the glans for manuals, just if you are using a vacuum based device.

Thank you for your comments guys, I really appreciate it! My status improved vastly over last night, when I got up I felt good and the penis was in normal flaccid size again. After a while he started to turtle again a bit and had the strange feeling a little bit, but never as much as before. I even got a slight erection when I was working on my desk. Later that day my testicles hurt for a while, but I could imagine that this is the blue balls effect since I haven’t touched my dick the last days and they would like to get emptied. However, I will continue keep my hands off as suggested and wait till I’m feeling normal for a couple of days.

Roughly one month after the injury I can give you guys an update on my status:

The first week was just horrible (see first post). Total mindfuck, if I would have known that the injury is gone after a few weeks with certainty I would have chilled much more, however in my mind there was always this voice “what if it stays”..

The second week my dicker was not turtling anymore and normal flaccid status and I had some light erections. After two weeks my dick felt quite normal again, when flaccid he seemed even longer and the libido came back. However, I told myself to wait another two weeks at least and to further observe my status. Luckily, I could keep my mind busy during the whole regeneration due to focus on other things, such as studies, going on vacation or playing video games (this really helped to distract my mind from the issue, even though I was never a real gamer lol). Furthermore, I used multivitamin tablets to improve the recovery and went to the gym. Yesterday I had my first masturbation session after a long time and I’m quite happy. My dick erected nicely, didn’t hurt when masturbated and felt quite normal in general (maybe EQ a bit lower), only the orgasm was not that nice as usual but I think I wasn’t 100% relaxed since this was kind of an experiment for me. I think I was never in my life that happy to see my penis erected, what a beautiful thing I thought lol

My plan for the next weeks is to continue keep my hands off my dick, masturbate only once a week (even though my libido is very high after yesterday) and let it fully recover. I’m glad that it seems that everything goes in a good direction.

Congratulations on your healing :) And yes, stress lowers EQ.

I have injured myself from stretching like that. I can’t get a grip otherwise. One word of advice: masturbation and sex are a workout for the penis. Consider them another form of exercise. Gotta keep that in mind when formulating rest times and recovery times.

Which video games did you play?

Thanks for all replies, appreciate it.

@lilhelp
I’m going to consider your tip, thanks. May I ask how did you return to PE after your injury? Do you still stretch the same way even though it caused your injury? At the moment I can’t think of returning to PE, and if I return, then I would probably just do kegels and jelqs. The stretches I can’t do without this grip, so I would prefer to avoid these stretch gains in order to prevent myself from the same injury in the future.

@inspirit
Lol, I was playing Assassins Creed Origins and Black Flag, the games were quite addictive for me so perfect distraction for my mind.
