No, I think I am screwed

^ This ^

Interesting to note that the doctor doing my flaccid doppler noticed "insignificant atherosclerosis" (only in the penis, nowhere else in my body). So you might be on to something. Is it just speculation for you or do you have some other indicators?

Another thing that might be similar in its appearance is ofcourse a veno-occlusive dysfunction.

A weak inflow or a strong outflow?

It seems that there are at least several options for treatment for the first problem:

Viagra every night before bedtime:

New arterial shockwave therapy on the forum:

If it’s the second problem, the solution might be finding a really good surgeon to do venous ligation.

Since I, like many others here, have a condition myslef this is like BEYOND interesting to me.

Can you please go into more detail on how your penis felt — flaccid, erect, basically all penile behavior you can remember?

Especially important…….how different did your flaccid look/behave at the time?

This will basically establish for us whether we can hope for the same recovery. It would mean a lot to us. You know what it’s like….. life or death really.

It’s interesting that your nerve was obviously fucked up, and you didn’t have morning wood. I know someone who’s top side of the penis is numb (obviously messed up nerve) but his erections and morning wood are just fine. So maybe it wasn’t only a nerve problem for you.

Hi Rodney,

thanks for the reply.

Skin problem? Sounds out there to me. Can you get erections through rougher stimulation or mental or visual stimuli and are the full?

I hope you are holding on with the mental aspect.

The reason I think this is the case is because when I first got the injury, my dick was basically useless. Essentially it felt the same way it did now. Well, one day, in the shower I was messing around with it and ended up squeezing out this whitish yellowish plaque stuff out of the right side of my lower shaft. Much like popping a pimple. Barbaric, I know. But then, BOOM. Bloodflow returned, erections were great, everything was perfect. It was a very happy moment in my life. Over time, and with continued jelqing I think that this horrible devil plaque returned and became rigidly stuck in there again. It makes sense to me if it is blocking circulation, that would be the reason why I can’t get an erection and the circulation looks cut off. Besides I do feel that the left side of my dick is a lot better that my right side. The right side feels exactly like it sounds, like there just isn’t enough blood getting into it, it is smaller and less engorged. This may also explain the white spotting discoloration on my glans. Well I am going to continue hot towel wraps and massaging it like there is no tomorrow. It may just be in my head but I do think I already feel a very slight improvement. I suspect this may be what is, in the very least, causing some of your guys’ problems too. Anyone know of any good supplements for this?

Lowrider, that’s the first time I’ve read such a case (pimpleish plaque).

I don’t know if you knew, but there is a test called cavernosogram. It is risky but it showes how the insides of your little guy work. It might just be the test for you.

I must say that I too get a feeling exacly like something is blocking circulation. Exactly! For several reasons: it feels like my blood-flow is stuck in the base of the penis, the penis doesn’t react as quickly to hot and cold showers, and I have to shake my dick in a weird way to get an erection. Also the long detumescence.

I don’t get any of this numbness you speak of, I can feel my penis fine at all times.

Sometimes if I try and go slowly and masturbate for about 20 minutes I get a clear white liquid come out of my penis, then my erection dies and doesn’t stay as hard as it was seconds ago before it comes out. ( Pre cum? )

And I just had a wank over porn again god dammit, it’s like a curse I just cannot escape !

It did to me at first, but after going through my symptoms it did look like the skin could be the culprit to the de-sensitivity. From researching I fount out about keratinization which mainly circumcised (im uncircumcised) men suffer from, from the glans being exposed all the time to alot of friction, which causes the skin to become thicker and rougher to protective its self. Which in turn decreases the glans sensitivity.

Now when I PE’d I was very rough with my penis for quite a long time. Which was most probably traumatic to my glans skin, causing it to protect itself and become keratinized, leaving me desensitized. From looking at the glans and feeling it, its clear that the skin texture has changed - alot rougher, cracked and glans skin colour doesnt look a healthier pink anymore and obviously the lack of sensitivity leaves an high chance that it could be down to keratinization. Thats the theory on it for now though, just got to wait and see how the skin treatment comes along. So far so good, im getting more feeling to parts which have had very little feeling for along time.

Yes I can get full erections through stimulation, not neccessarily rougher stimulation it depends because weirdly enough somedays sensation feels better than other days. Can also get erections through mental/visual stimuli, I have no morning wood. My only problem being with erections is when standing my erection are weak -85% at best, but while sitting 100% hard. This could be down to un-healthy life style though.

Mentally im coping just want it to be over and done with now, be ongoing for far to long, the worrying is mentally draining. But yeah im doing my best to hold on in their :)

Good job on the recovery Lowgrow bet you feel tonnes better.

Ive sure learnt my lesson aswell, theirs no doubt im a beleiver of ‘Its a marathon not a sprint’ club.

Have you resumed PE now since the recovery.

Also whats a TENS unit.

Still no sensitivity.

As much as I want to keep this out of my mind and not spend so much time here, I cant!

Same way here. Erections start from the base, minus the shaking. If I want to force an erection without visual stimulation, I have to pull on it and rub it at the same time to rub the hardness out.

The pimplish plaque is crazy! Sounds quite like an infection. I will say though, I don’t feel this is it, but if anyone has any anti-biotics stashed away somewhere by all means bust them out and take them until gone. Note and report back any difference. That would rule out infection wouldn’t it? I already checked, nothing here.

Is plaque the newest theory? Or some kind of build up? Some have noted a swollen penis afterwards like blood is trapped in there, which would make sense. Blood has a hard time coming in, and a hard time going out. It seems like a blood thinner like asprin, and ginkgo or L-arginie for increase circulation along with massage would take care of that.

It also seems Vitamin C is good for removing plaque as well

Seems plausible.

However, the disease that causes this, from my reading, doesn’t just appear overnight like we experienced. Just a thought.

BMashina we might me on to something. :)

B Mashina - I really don’t think it would be an infection. I think it is caused by trauma and this build up is part of the body’s defense system. I think this is also part of the reason warm ups and warm downs are so important, because jelqing is really stressful on the penis and this hot towel wrap helps keep the build up from forming. Just a theory, but it seems to make sense.

It is very good that you can get a full erection and that you can get erections from mental/visual stimuli. In fact what is your problem say again? :)

However it is a bit troubling that you don’t have morning wood and that your standing erections are not up to par. Is your penis under a lot of stress? This can often account for the lack of MW. Do you have other nocturnal erections? It might be just a sleep pattern thing. However if the answer to both of this is no, I would personally discount the skin theory and look for a problem elsewhere. Or I wound look for it at all, if your state is improving…

Not that I’m anything close to an expert though….

My problem is down to lack of sensation, my glans sensitivity has decreased dramatically compared to how it used to be. Alot of my symptoms are on an old thread i started. look up my recent threads its in their called ongoing injury. But has of lately their has been gradual increase in sensations which looks promising.
