Injury ED Advice

Tried PE a while back, was overzealous at first. After reading bad advice on how most guys are scared to PE effectively and never really see progress, and other guys who go all in and see great gains in short amounts of time and realistically should be aiming to, get more intense with each session. This lead to me injured on second session due to erect jelqing, never experienced any pain just fluid build up and a little issues with erection. I then took a break for a month when I was able to get erections again and continue to PE but more lighter and careful, making sure to never erect jelq. Over this time I did this time I did see a little gains going from 5’5 inches to 6 inches and 4 inch girth to 4.3-4.5 on good day girth. However I developed ed over time, and started to having to rely on viagra and cock rings to maintain an erection. First time using cock ring, my erection was great, super intense sensations And everything but I think due lack of use my ed slowly got worse. I decided to throw in the towel with PE and let my body heal. Spent a year away from masterbation, having abstained due to believing nofap and developed far worse ED and a nasty case of atrophy, measuring barely at 5 inches, and 4 inch girth, which gets even more narrow towards tip (cone shape now) due to lack of sufficient blood flow, head no expanding and lower spongiosum not inflating in sleep.

I decided I’ll and bring life to it again after so long, and should have been more careful because I didn’t take into account that I hadn’t masterbated or did anything with my penis for over a year (Thanks, nofap) destroyed my libido, destroyed my ability to get erection more, atrophy. I took a some cialis - tadalafil 20 mg and decided to start that day with bringing life back to my member, I did a hot wrap for 5 mins and did 5-10 mins of masterbation, to get more blood going then jelqing at 30% more or less erection level, basically massaging for 50-100 strokes and then some stretch holds in each direction for max 30 quick secs. I did a little more stretches later, however halfway through I felt a sharp tugging sensation in my penis, then throbbing, stabbing pain from. My glands down towards near mid shaft (roughly where I gripped to stretched) and a pulling, burning sensation at the base of my penis. Followed by more intense pain and complete numbness lasting for weeks after this incident and now still causes me discomfort 4 months later, worsening whenever I try do stuff along with severe numbness. I’ve seen urologists but they said they can’t see any visual issues and since UK NHS are tanking. I’m not sure what to do to fix this Severe numbness and irritation, it’s made my ed super severe and feels like I have a complete discord between my penis.

Please if anyone has any experience in this and any hope in recovery form this Horrible ed and atrophy and numbness, I’m desperate for some hope and advice. I’ve got myself bathmate I’m hoping I’ll use it and bring things back to life and help the healing. Is anyone ever cured and fixed themselves? I’m desperate as things are just getting worse it feels

I’m sorry to hear all of this. That must be awful. Most ED treatments do involve or rely on pumping as a method. I couldn’t caution you more about using a bathmate for this. If stretching and jelqing has caused you these issues, a bathmate most likely will exacerbate the problems. If you’re going to use a pump as a therapy, you must have a guage, so you can monitor affects and effects, 100% of the time. Especially since you are prone to injury. Bathmate’s give no indication as to how much vacuum is being applied and therapeutic vacuum levels for ED are generally very low.

You may also apply some heat therapy and massage, not to be meant as masturbation. Deliberate blood moving massage. You can masturbate, sure. Do it all you want, but that’s not therapeutic or what I mean by this.

There are a few members here treating ED and that are more than happy to offer advice and their experiences, I suspect they will chime in soon.

-Stay safe

Honestly, it’s so hard to keep a positive mindset. Feeling really depressed with it. My girlfriend (online) is super supportive and loving. And is aware of my issue and wants to help me through it but is also scared because she’s seen the change in my mindset also, slowly going downhill with each passing month. It is soul destroying, I tried to get medical help first week when it happened. But doctor said just continue to masturbate etc and he doubts I did any damage as the penis itself is fairly robust, as long as all I used was my hands and not some contraption. One month passed was seeing slight improvements, after one particular day I felt the pain creeping in and then announced itself all over again. Went to hospital. They sent me away with anti-biotic since they found blood in my urine, and said no touchy for 2 weeks. Okay 2 weeks pass, penis meanwhile has visibly shrunk to an inch and super thin with no weight to it, like loose skin in hand. I go in again as pain has become worse. Then do a CT scan to check kidneys etc. And ultrasound to check organs around penis, not penis itself. They find they’re all healthy. Then without running any scans on my actual penis begin to suspect maybe my issue maybe be psychological based, even though I’m in pain and never had this before. They have all done physical checks from doctors, to nurses, urologists. Not very in depth but they say they don’t see any signs of damage, meanwhile my penis is visibility shrunk, deflated and have little to no sensation. It feels horrible and never have I seen it this way every in my life. I go to urologist expecting a scan but they still think it’s most psychological and I should just get on with my life and hope that there’s a cure in the future but don’t let it make who I am. Easier said than done I thought when you have such a issue that seems to be worsening. NHS Urologist said I can’t get seen by specialist for 2 years and he has no power for scans etc. Feels like I’m living a nightmare and just being ignored on medical standards. Just desperately trying to get guidance. Sorry for rant here, just explaining the situation further as it’s bringing me down.

I’ve had bathmate xtreme delivered and will keep until I guess familiar with pressure, would master gauge be a good go to buy for now? So I can get an idea of pressure to be used. Not sure what would be a therapeutic level of pressure too. And hopefully using one shouldn’t cause further irration of nerves, but desperate to get some life down there because I think nerves are worse off when literally feeling cold down there 24/7 with most days being 0 blood flow what so ever in that region

I’m refraining from masturbation for now until I can do it lightly and safely to bring conditioning and more healthy bloody flow but as for massaging, is this done flaccid after use of heat and might sound silly but how does one massage it? Is the aim to become erect via massage? I’ve tried but find I can’t get slightly erect with it

Thank you for fast reply 114life, sorry if I sound ranty etc. I’m just really scared right now and felt left in the dark for a while. I really hope to recover from this fully and not fall too much down a dark mindset , that way too I can help anyone one day who ever find their self in nightmare also. That honestly would be amazing to get some advice from people who have found ways out of this.

Thanks again for support and taking time to read and get back to me ❤️

[waves hand] I’m in that group. You’ve covered the basics.

Hi just giving a update, I’ve been eating extremely healthy, plenty of fruit and veg. Working out most days weights/ body weight/ cardio and to a 30 min pelvic floor exercise. I’m still yet to see any improvement, I’m really loosing hope. One urologist said he’ll have scan for me at some point, not sure when and if there is problem and can’t be fixed then get on with life and hope for a cure in the future, there’s more to life than that. Really, great words since making a family of my own with the love of my life is important to me. I spoke to another urologist and he said use a pump, didn’t really provide me any details other than that and prescribed me Cialis 20mg to use when attempting sexual activity/use of pump and 5mg for daily use. My personal doctor recommended against using any kind of pump out of fears of doing more damage, I tried a silicon restriction ring instead making sure to use no more than 10-15 mins, able to get Semi hard with light masturbation. I couldn’t really get it up without it, after I got done I experienced a good amount of pain in the base and along the left side of my penis up to my glands. Now I can’t get anything going at all even with ring. Ed is a good amount worse. On the first few months of the accident my ed seemed a lot more manageable, going into 5 months it’s just declining more and more. I’m really so lost. I don’t know what to do. Urologists said they can get me scanned but jot sure when that will be. I’ve completely lost faith in doctors over here as I’m getting nowhere but downhill. I just want my life back. I honestly thought 5 months ago, I was on a good road, I got myself in great shape, when I took the Cialis it have me a pretty good/ solid erection albeit shrunken then before and I had set myself on a journey of self improvement, wanting to make every part of me the best possible, believing anything is possible when mind is set. Which is why I thought, I’ll start PE lightly (I completely trust PE and believe it works if performed correctly like any workout) , maybe I should have waited a bit until I got more use out of my penis so it was a little conditioned since I just only started doing things after a year, maybe I had too much blood inside during manual stretching to left and right. But I’m now paying a heavy price and feel so lost. Any hope is just draining away, I’m desperate for guidance honestly I truly am. Shrinking is getting worse, penis is barely filling up and just feels so weak, literally loose at base. What do I even do at this point
