Dealing with problems after 5 months of hanging.

I wanted to post my experience with hanging and the outcome is not favourable and was hoping if anyone can shine any light on how to fix this issue.

I started hanging with home made items and no access to proper forums and technique. Just by word of mouth because at the time I didn’t have access to internet. I was hanging for about 5 months then stopped due to noticing discolouration around the tip of the glans and a bit of bleeding from urethra which freaked me out and now it’s been 18 months and the discolouration has just stopped being noticeable and am left with excess skin and a less hard glans while erect. Can anyone relate to this or help me find a solution.

My routine and tools were as follows:
Warm up with manual jelk. Wrap with cotton sheet. Then hang for 20 minutes 2-3 times a day. Weight started at 4 lbs and increased by a pound every 2 weeks till around 11 lbs. The hanger was home made which was basically a ring made of rubber gloves folded and secured by the tension created by the rope and weights . By the end of the hang the tip of the glans would be almost black then I would get blood circulating in it for 10 minutes after. I didn’t learn about emptying the glans till about 3 months in and with the basic hanging tool that I had it wasn’t very effective and would slide off a lot so I had to tighten the clamp/ring which still caused the tip of the glans to swell up and be dark purple by the end of the 20 minutes but the colour returned to normal after and I was still maintaining erections so I didn’t see a problem with it. At the end of the 5 months when I stopped I noticed the tip remained dark in the spot where all the blood was rushed to. I completely stopped hanging to let my member go back to normal. The skin is extremely stretched and loose when relaxed it’s like a flap that hangs below my testicles. I am circumcised but now almost looks uncut. The dark glans discolouration remained for over a year and started to slowly fade It’s been 18 months now and the colour is just back to normal but I notice some stretch mark looking skin on the glans and the firmness and integrity of it is weakened. The excess skin has not improved at all. And now my erections feel not as hard at the tip and the glans inflates but deflates quickly. Will this become better over time? I have a urologist appointment booked is there anything I should tell him or any treatments to ask for? As the excess skin the only thing I can think of is plastic surgery to remove skin. Has anyone had to resort to this? I know I have to deal with the consequences of not hanging properly with the proper tool but any advise on how to get my penis back to normal is appreciated. Thanks.

That noose-type hangar did you in. I had a similar experience but managed to, somehow, end up on the good fork of the road—recovery. I’m sorry to hear about this and hope you find healing.

Yes that’s probably the best way to describe it. Noose type hanger.

So would you say just give it time and it will slowly return to normal? I’m on 18 months now

How could you let the tip of the glans get dark, almost black? That’s really stupid and of course you get injured and probably permanently damage your penis. Have you seen a doctor?

We stay away from comments like “stupid”.

Be completely honest with your urologist, the doctor’s office isn’t a room you should feel embarrassed in. Tell them the complete history, including the amount of weight. They will (hopefully) know what to give you to help, I also wouldn’t be surprised if they told you to stop hanging permanently.

From the sounds of it it could have gone much worse, you have sensation, are able to get an erection so that’s something!

Removal of skin might require a surgical procedure.

I had no access to forums or any advice. Was just told about how it’s done and experimented on my own. Yes in hindsight it wasn’t smart I should have just waited till I had access to proper tools and information. What’s done is done now just looking for advice and or similar experiences. And I finally got an appointment to see a urologist. I have a phone consultation tomorrow and I will lay it all on the table and see what he sais.

Just seen a urologist and he seems to think that everything is normal and the excess skin is not something he can fix. He recommended seeing a plastic surgeon if it’s cosmetically bothering me which I think it’s more of an issue than just cosmetics. Try a different urologist?

I would.

Yes mate, I think you went over the edge. Jelqs aren’t for warming up, you should use a heat source. And also way too much weight for such a short time. Just rest with soft massage and heat to restore circulation it should recover. Go see the urologist.

Do you think the prp shot would help rejuvenate damaged tissue and help heal the damage ?

Couldn’t say bro, got see another urologist and check back here

If you decide to follow up on it, ask him for a referral for the plastic surgeon. I have scars on my shaft after a bad infection and I’ve been on the referral treadmill. So far they always want to bill my insurance to take a look, but apparently had no intention of ever doing anything.

I thought that one of the sex-change surgeons would be used to cutting on penile tissue and would have no problem doing the work, but it turns out they’re highly specialized and you can’t just make an appointment with one; at least the ones I’ve checked with so far.

Maybe light massaging for bloodflow will help over time. You can also check Angion Method. It has somewhat bad reputation here for not achieving real gains, but I think its good for EQ and general blood flow. To answer your question, I think if you are able to have a normal erection, than things are somehow fine and you may be able to restore to some degree or fully the color of your glans after months/years. Just maintain a good blood flow, you need oxyganated blood comong in and out. Hope this helps
