I copied the following from my other thread but I believe it fits perfectly in this thread.
I believe I caused some serious damage with hanging. I am using a Bib starter and was just starting out with hanging. I was figuring out the best way to adjust the hanger and fix my technique. I have been posting on Bib’s forums and he has been very helpful and has been responding to my questions. This was going well until I did a set which basically took almost all the sensitivity away from my glans. I was still hanging at 5 pounds and did not move up in weight but my glans are just not sensitive anymore. When I stimulate myself, I am able to get an erection and able to get blood into the glans as well. Just like a normal erection. So this is hinting that no chambers within the penis for bloodflow were blocked off. Just damage to the peripheral nerves.
With very limited reading on my part, nerves may or may not regenerate. Is anybody familiar with anatomy here? Crushing nerves is different from cutting of nerves supposedly and I was reading about Wallerian degeneration which is giving me hope. I am going to quote the article:
“When a peripheral nerve is cut, the axon segments distal to the injury (furthest away from the spinal cord) die off in a process called “Wallerian degeneration.” When the nerve is repaired, the axons in the proximal segment (closest to the spinal cord) regrow into the distal, denervated segment. This growth occurs at a rate of about 1 mm per day. This translates roughly to 1 inch per month, or 1 foot per year. Once the axons regrow back into the denervated muscles, the muscles will begin to function again. During the time it takes for the axons to regrow into the muscles, a process that can take many months, or even years, the muscles will be paralyzed and will atrophy.”
So theoretically, I am going to heal as the nerve is going to repair originating from the spinal cord. I took a ruler and measured from underneath my penis to the head from the tailbone of my spine and was about 13 inches. 13 inches = 330.2 mm which translates to about 330 days for recovery. So almost a full year for possible recovery and restoring all sensation to the glans of my penis. Does anybody have medical knowledge on this stuff? I would appreciate any knowledge on this.
Right now my stats are:
BPEL - 7.5 in.
BPFSL - 8.1 in.
MEG - 4.9 in.
I did some PE earlier this year and probably gained about half an inch but doing any stretching was not doing anything because it seems my tissues are very resistant to the manual stuff which is the reason why I went with hanging. I read on some posts that women prefer the 7.5 inch length as the ideal length and pretty much 6 is the ideal girth every guy wants as well the girls. So I basically shouldn’t even train length anymore huh? If and when I fully recover I should just focus on girth. When I masturbate it does actually look pretty long at 100% erection just that girth is lacking. I think I am gonna ditch the hanging and focus on girth once I make my recovery. Advice? I appreciate it.
