End Summary
Hello all. I wanted to thank you for the advice and support I’ve gotten for the last two months or so.
The second urologist essentially repeated the exact same diagnosis I was given by the previous urologist. I’ve accepted things as they are and am just going to live on as optimistically as I can.
The repeated diagnosis is that I must have damaged a chamber in the penis responsible for filling it with blood. The bent erections I get are rare, and they straighten out when I’m fully erect. This was also the theory as to why I can only get a full erection while sitting down. It’s apparently easier for blood to fill the penis this way. The hard flaccid, rigidity in my member, was the process of healing.
He gave me a physical, made comments about the torsion and a discoloration I hadn’t noticed on the underside, and told me that my constipation probably isn’t related. He remained adamant even when I insisted that I’ve never had any issues EVER until the morning after the injury. He noticed the area of raised skin near the base and told me it’s scar tissue. The torsion, he concluded, must be scar tissue that turned the penis. It can take 2-3 months to dissolve, might not do so either, and I can take Vitamin E while I wait. If it doesn’t go away, it’s probably permanent.
Thanks to all for the advice and support. I was really terrified and having someone to talk was really comforting. It honestly looks like there’s nothing I can do besides hoping it heals and the erections go back to normal when I’m standing. I’m going to remain abstinent and continue pelvic floor stretches/reverse kegels in the hopes that the constipation resolves before seeing a GI doctor. I might get a cystoscopy in December, and I’ll update here if I do.
I truly regret being insecure about penis size. Two weeks of penis exercises and I’m looking at about $7000 in medical bills, chronic pains and constipation, possibly permanent damage to my dick, and tons of regret.
I wish you an early happy holidays. I’ll hang around for one more week to answer any questions or concerns.
