Severe penis injury I get no help

I don’t understand the dynamics of your problem: Why your regular, licensed doctor cannot order an MRI. However if that is so, why not ask your regular, licensed doctor to call a urologist whom he knows and ask him to ask him/her to order the MRI?

dlink123, the consensus seems that you SNAPPED a ligament; im doubtful, you would have experienced instant agony and sure would have remembered it. Likewise a ruptured tunica. Anybody know anything about internal nerve damage that could help this guy?

My regular doctor said that I had to have a urologist to get an MRI. I have no clue why he said that. He now refers me to another urologist. Also, this urologist accepts my insurance so I will gladly save a couple of hundred dollars this time as opposed to the other urologists I had to pay myself. I am going to visit this urologist this week and I really hope this guy finds something different to say than the previous urologists. I will definitely be telling him about the information you people gave about the damaged or snapped ligament and nerve damage that probably healed yet got tightened which is why my penis is like this.

Do try to prepare a coherent timeline of what you did and what the results were - your description here is a little hard to follow, so I imagine it could come across as hypocondria if you don’t watch it. Also, stay calm and do not shove a diagnosis down his throat - a patient that “knows” what’s wrong with him is much less likely to get a thorough examination.

Okay. Thanks.

If I were you, I would ask to a good urologist to have a full check-up of blood, urine and sperm and of the penis circulatory situation as the symptoms you describe could point to an infection which might either have caused the whole problem or have developed afterwards. In the mean time I would absolutely refrain from any penile activity different than pissing. Remain calm, symptoms are not that bad as you penis still works. It could be much worse… Don’t go by trial, seek a professional and demand a written diagnosis or sue him.

It’s gonna be ok soon.

Okay, I went to another urologist again. I was not at all shocked with his comment. He says I have no problems which was of course the answer I was not looking for. He even said it himself and said he knows what I am going through but it’s all in my head, which is obviously not. I could not give him a urine sample when I went because I urinated before. The thing that I cannot argue anymore with urologists is that this urologist is in fact one of the best urologists where I live at and I live in New York City. He is probably the most smartest urology there has to be. When I told him about the previous urologists I went to, he even knows their names because he worked with them before.

I do not really know what to go from here. He wrote some books on urology and knows every single thing about the penis and how can I really argue with him? I told him about the damaged ligaments and that it healed but shortened. He tells me there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. He says why should I listen to people on the Internet for help. I did tell him that many of you posters were very knowledgeable about this subject but you know how urologists are. He tells me he can even perform the urethral scope now but tells me there is no point. He does surgeries on a consistent basis. He also said I would not perform any surgery on you no matter what you are trying to say. He did say that he has no control over me so that if I was going to have an operation with some other doctor, I must see him first just to check if that urologist is well qualified to do it which he highly doubts any urologist would do for my problem.

Another thing that gets me wondering is that problem I explained earlier. When I am flaccid with my shrunken penis and am lying on the bed, it points up. He tells me that condition is when you are about to die. He says “This is not your case.” I know what he is trying to say here but it does not look right as almost every person would agree here since it is suppose to point down. His basic question now was can you get erect and I said yes. It seems to me that it is almost every urologists final question really. If my answer was yes, he will not do anything for me even though I told him about how it looks flaccid whether standing up or lying down. I am taking some EC-Naproxen right now because I explained to him that I feel pain in the bottom of my penis still and he prescribed it for me. Likewise, he agrees with the fact that the doctor thought my problem is the sympathetic nervous system is total bull.

I just feel I got the so called final answer because he is one of the best urologists in New York. If I go to anymore urologists, I doubt that anything would change. I just do not understand why urologists do not say there is any problem with a shrunk flaccid penis. I did not get any full check up of anything since I went yesterday and did not read the last reply until today. Would getting the full check up of blood, urine, sperm and penis circulatory absolutely give a perfect answer? Since many people here think that my ligament healed but tightened, wouldn’t they be not able to see the problem? He told me the MRI would be useless as well as the urethral scope and told me it would hurt even though I said I want it but again he tells me he does not think I need it. What am I really suppose to do now? Thanks for the support everyone. Really appreciate it.

dlink,

You know your dick better than anyone. If you’re convinced there’s something wrong (and from everything you’ve described it does sound like something’s not right), then never ever give up trying to find a cure.

You do (or you’re writing does) sound a bit anxious, even frantic. I understand that, boy do I ever. But you’re going to have to contain that as much as possible if only in order to be taken seriously by those you’re seeking help from.

I won’t hijack your thread by telling you in minute detail what a living hell my life became when I contracted ecoili poisoning 10 years ago.
But I went through a lot of shit before I found a doctor with a cure. In 2 weeks time I was in 3 hospitals in 3 states, saw 15 “specialist”, was poked prodded, and basically “violated” in every way you could think of. The diagnosis’s I received would have made a saner man jump out a window. My experiences left me with no faith what so ever in the medical profession.

So someone’s an expert. So fn what. So he went to school and has a successful practice. Now he does a few vasectomies, runs a few pipe cleaners up a few old farts urethras’, and tells a few more guys what their mothers used to tell them; stay away from prostitutes.
O’ yea, and he plays golf on the week ends - but he sucks at that too. We need to redefine what makes someone an “expert”. Better yet, we need to get rid of that word.

Because the guy that’s going to be the expert is going to be the guy that takes you seriously. Even if he can’t help you, at least he’ll validate your concerns. Maybe you do need to see a doctor that does lig surgeries. He’ll at least have seen enough of them to know for sure if yours got messed up, and what to look for. I just don’t tell a doctor when I’m getting a second opinion. Then they think you’re shopping to hear the answer you “want” to.

Go back and have him do the test. It doesn’t matter if he “likes” you or not. He’s there to do a job and he’s being paid also.
You (and he) never know just what you might discover.

and I’ll finish with another one of those real world experiences stories:

Awhile back my daughter fell of her bike and landed on her right arm / hand. She comes in the house screaming bloody murder, expect that she’s a drama queen and she’s always making more out of things than there really is. I wasn’t going to take her to the hospital, neither was mom. Well about an hour of her carrying on and mom finally says; F* it, I’ll run her over to hospital to shut her up. The ER doctor checks it out and says he doesn’t think anything much is wrong and wasn’t going to do an Xray. My daughters whining she want’s an Xray, mom says she don’t care, and the doc says what the hell. They get the Xray back and my daughters got several broken bones in her wrist. She’s had a cast on for more than 2 months now and it’s still causing her problems. WTF I guess we all failed on that one, but she would have been the one to suffer because of it.

And then there’s my neighbor who’s discovered after repeated visits to the doctor (and cussing him out more than once) that she has a gigantic tumor in her leg that is not visible from the outside to the naked eye.

Sometimes it’s just a process of elimination. If you don’t do the test, what did you eliminate? What did you learn? What may you discover?
I’m always amazed at these medical shows where they save some poor peasant child in a third world country from some rare and totally bizarre illness (or grow noses on peoples foreheads and then flip them around onto the face). I’m always left thinking; WTF I couldn’t get that kind of service at a drive through window with a gun. No, they’ll save me at the autopsy.

If this guy’s the expert, then keep pestering him until he DOES do something for you.

Have you tried doing any PE recently? The retraction could be a holdover from your now-healed injury. Something like trigger point therapy (jelqing) and stretching might help even if somewhat painful in the beginning. If you try PEing, go easy. Warm up well and keep the intensity and duration low. Take as much time off between sessions as you think you need. An easy session once a week may be all you can tolerate at first. Don’t expect miracles immediately. Give it time, as in a few months. Might also read about and incorporate some BTB jelqing.

I had pain from a simple PE routine in the beginning to the point I wondered if I’d even be able to PE at all. I went easy, taking a lot of time off between sessions, and eventually got the kinks worked out. No trouble since. Perhaps you are in a similar situation as a result of your injury.

Since I don’t know what’s wrong with you, I can’t recommend that you adopt a PE routine as a solution. But it’s an option.

The best doctor of NY is sure your penis is perfectly sane

YOU KNOW IT IS NOT

the doctor writes down a formal and signed diagnosis

you bring it to the best lawyer of NY

the lawyer helps you discover your problem in no time (with his doctor)

you and the lawyer split the money the best doctor of NY will have to pay

dlink123, no doctor can find anything wrong with your dick and you have no erection problems, when will you let it go? So you have a little pain at the base of your dick and your flaccid size isn’t as big as you like it to be. Why let it ruine your life, there are persons out there with far greater problems they have to live with.

Just do a very light PE routine and things will get better.

Piet, I know what you are saying. I understand everything you are trying to say. It is just hard for any guy to be okay with a shrunken flaccid penis and the other problems I developed since the incident. It’s very hard to live with yourself anymore if this ever happens to you. The only things that can scare a guy is have his penis gone or shrink. I never thought of these things would happen in my life. No, I never did any PE exercises at all before or after the incident. It would be pretty hard for me to do any PE routine because my penis is shrunk and you cannot move it around really if you get what I mean.

RootCap, I do not know who to pursue anymore. He told me repeatedly that I do not need anything done to my penis, not even the urethral scope or MRI because he says he just wouldn’t do it. Since there is no harm in doing it, I do not get why they say no. He honestly tells me it would cost me money even though my insurance pays for it and said I could do this and get the money for doing the procedure but he’s not going to “cheat” anyone. I did pester him after he told me there is nothing wrong and he says he would not do it and doubt any urologist would do anything for me.

What doctors are there that “check” your penis inside, where they can see the actual inside? I remembered a few years ago when I couldn’t walk for 2 weeks because I injured my right leg playing basketball and got an MRI which showed the inside of my leg with broken somethings, I forgot what. Eventually I healed from that otherwise I would not be walking today. I do not think any doctor can give me a true answer without a full examination of the inside of the penis since all they do is examine the outside. Like Root said, some things might not be found on the external part which gives all these urologists good reasoning for saying what they did. It’s really hard for me to say Okay, I can live on my life like this even though I can’t even get an internal examination of my penis if you get what I mean. Instead of broken ligaments like many of you say, he said it probably could be broken vessels, but that is not a big deal according to him. Who would it hurt? I don’t care if I have to pay more money. I do not get why I get turned down every time for any internal examinations of my penis.

Also, the condition that I described where my penis urinates through 2 holes or whatever, he said that was split streaming. He tells me it’s not unusual but I did tell him that it ALWAYS split streams then. I do not really mind the split stream because that does not really affect me. It’s things like the shrunken flaccid penis and the pointing up of it that really is abnormal and the pain I have when I touch it that makes it tough for me.

Dlink123, you could perhaps give us your stats so we have a better idea of what you have to deal with. Pictures would be helpful too. If we can’t help you finding and or fixing your problem we could help you with a routine. I’m pretty sure you can perform some pe exercises with a shrunken penis.

Didn’t he examine you? If he had just talked to you, you could ask to show him your problem - this will be very easy to do and as a doctor, he should be examining you anyway.
