Penis vein and soft glans and erection injury. Feeling terrible.

I couldn’t post this in the correct forum but I really need to post this. In fact, I am struggling so much at the moment that I am finding it difficult just to write.

I have damaged my penis by foolishly jelqing two weeks ago at close to full erection. The result was a large cord-like vein running just to the right of the middle of the shaft with at least one or two hard knots in it. The vein wasn’t visible but was really hard and stringy and knotted both when erect and flaccid. The superficial dorsal vein was sitting on top looking quite normal so it was most likely the deep dorsal vein that was damaged.

The vein seems to have calmed right down as of about 5 or 6 days ago to the point where I can’t really feel it or any abnormality. However all other symptoms are still well and truly present.

Flaccid: The penis is overall much smaller than normal, and looks drained of all blood. It is “turtling” much of the time. The glans is cold feeling even inside the foreskin and there is noticeably more foreskin hood hanging off the glans as it is not filling like it used to. Even in the shower where the penis would always hang well and be full and plump, it is now a small shadow of its former self. The superficial dorsal vein seems more prominent than before and can be easily “slid” by the finger across the shaft which I never recall being able to do. There is also a bit of a bend to the right going on which I’ve never noticed before.

Erection: Very weak and must be really worked to get to a half reasonable size. The glans isn’t getting any blood into it, and this is certainly not normal for me. Gripping reasonably firm around the base and doing a kegal can push some blood into the glans but the glans just deflates as soon as pressure is released. The overall erection (if it can even be worthy of that description) dies within seconds even if thinking erotically. Morning erections are pretty much non-existent, with the occasional semi-erection (with no engorged glans).

There is a slight burning/itching pain felt at times in the glans (could this be bleeding or something going on in there?)

There are one or two purple veins that appear to have a splash of blue/purple blood coming from them but this appears to be the foreskin and quite superficial.

Finally I must say I am depressed by all of this. It is occupying my thoughts all day every day. I have been a very sexually active man and for this to happen cripples me. It is not psychological – I have done some structural damage to the penis.

Boy oh boy I just wish I could rewind two weeks and never have touched the darn thing! I have read hours worth of forum discussions with people having similar injuries. And NO-ONE has had a full resolution of the problem even years down the track. It scares the bloody hell out of me.

I have taken ibuprofen anti-inflammatories since it happened and applied hirudoid cream to the penis for the past 7 or 8 days which may have contributed to the knotted cord-like vein going down. I am also having L-Citrulline.

However all other symptoms have remained. Thank you for listening.

The symptoms are part of the healing. Let it turtle. it provides the dick with nutrients.

Not the first time this happens to a Peer and it takes time. If you are lucky then its “just” vein damage and no nerve damage which can take some months.

Your supplements are OK. Also eat healthy and dont worry too much to help your body healing.
Circulation is good but forcing erections not.
Research what is good for vein health.
Warmth also good.

If you cant wait then you need to go to the doc if it gets worse.

Rizzlestrricks , First take a deep breath , the penis is a remarkable body part. Now im not a doctor but I have injured my penis more than once and it has fully recovered but you must let it rest it may take more than a week . Now have you read some of the threads on clogged lymphatic vessels because it sounds similar to that. And just as important don’t stress out and cause yourself some psychological induced ED, Give your body a chance to repair itself. When you put a lot of pressure on the head of the penis and overdo it , the head has a tendency to deflate like that, you sometimes wont notice it until you go get another erection and realize oh my God my head is not getting as big as it was, that is the case for me any ways. So just give it time to rest and heal. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the quick response boys. I just worry that my symptoms are all too similar to those of others with venous leaks, and I quite clearly damaged a vein.

I’ll look at some threads on clogged lymphatic vessels.

I must add that I’m going to see a urologist tomorrow, and booked in a more expensive (presumably better) urologist in two weeks’ time (earliest he was available)

Keep us posted on the urology visit. I expect you are going to recover just fine.

(That being said, this is why the vets say NO ERECT JELQUING)

I can’t over emphasize what plaidshirt said. He is 100% correct about this:

I saw a urologist today, but he was the type I was worried I’d end up seeing: Older chap, never heard of jelqing and completely dismissive of my concerns saying it is all in my head.
Of course, I totally hope it is all in my head and it will not be an issue soon enough and I’ll look back at this and have a laugh about it.
But I can’t help being concerned about the way it is behaving at the moment. It is totally unusual.

Normally with my flaccid penis I can work my fingers up my shaft to my glans and you can easily see blood push into the glans and it expands. This is not the case at the moment. NO blood is working its way into the head as I move up the shaft. This a sure physical sign that there is no blood going into (or staying in) the glans.

I have an appointment with a more expensive urologist in ten days time. Hopefully I can cancel this before the day arrives, if not hopefully he can make a better judgment on it.

Guys, I have been jelqing from 2 months. 15 min jelqing 6 days a week. Day before yest I noticed I am not getting 100% erection and I have noticed that the top of the shaft is looking wierd, its a bit reddish. I have no pain whatsoever. Is it nerve damage I am suffering from? Or will it heal in a weak. I am taking 3g argnine L everyday and drinking watermelon juice. Will it get back to normal. I also have a girlfriend, I don’t want to lose her. Please help. By the way, I have quit jelqing. Its been 2 days and my penis is like half dead.

Sounds typical. Rest, keep warm, loose hang and eat healthy. Dont force errections. Could take 1-2 weeks.
If it gets worse = pain etc then you might check with the doc.

If you start again do it as if you started all over = less intensity/time.

You both have nothing. Sorry to be harsh, but it is better that you both forget PE, it is not for hypochondriacs.

Update 2

Okay, my penis is at its 100% again. I think I gained 0.3 inch. My glan is bigger. The problem is I am scared to even touch my penis to jelq or mastrubate. It looks good though, glan is much bigger than before. Can’t I use pumps instead of jelqing? I think I put some pressure on the glan, that is why it had some issues. Improper jelqing was the main root of the problem. Its just that I take 1 and a half secs for one stroke, bcs my penis is just 5.2 inches.. It is 5.5 now.. 3 secs per stroke is suitable for 6 inchers. Ill end up damaging my glan again. Ill use pumps instead?

Well marinera is kind of right.
The stuff you guys encounter is everyday routine for PE.

You can get injured with any form of PE. Pumps too.
You have to have the knowledge of your own body and what it can take and what not.
There are a million ways to jelq in intensity and time. 1 sec to 10 sec ++ strokes.

I jelq for a week. I ve noticed stitching and a burning sensation with some erections problems. Not very serious but it was there. I ve noticed minor gains in length and girth only when flaccid. I was a little worried but I m not easily scared. So here is what I did wrong. I dry jelqed no warmup just some stretches. I over did it doing 200jelqs a day every day. Never touched the glans though. So knowing this here’s what idid. I listened to my body and stopped. I did a lot of exercise ate a lot of red meat raw eggs broccoli and green tea. Didn’t force erections . I m healing day after day.. I ll start again and this time I ll do it properly and take it easy.. I don’t know if that helps anyone.. Just don’t be a pussy rest eat right and have common sense

Don’t push on your urethra when jelqing Bill10.

3 months after the injury I still have the same problems:

Glans doesn’t fill with blood during erections like it did prior to the injury.
Been to two urologists, second guy was a good fella, but basically said there is nothing they (urologists) can do to fix the glans erection issues.
He gave me daily Cialis for 28 days and that gave good, firm shaft erections but had no effect on the lifeless glans/ corpus spongiosum.

And Marinera, you’re a tosser mate. And if you weren’t stuck behind a computer screen I’d love to clip you one. I’ve read your responses and comments to other people who have posted with injuries. Ok, there are some people who get hysterical after their dick doesn’t work for a day (like that Indian guy above). But then there are genuine and real cases like mine and others.
I pray that you never suffer the fate that I have because it is extremely depressing and there are very few (if any) solutions.
In the meantime keep your negative and useless opinions to yourself.
