Hard Ring around Gland

Hey fellas, After heavy Jelqing I get a sorta ring of hard fluid?? Just below my gland, and goes right around (top to bottom) But it isnt the doughnut effect ay, it’s sorta like a thin hard ‘tube’ that you can feel.

Even If I just have a light session (no more than 5 min) I still have what seems to be a fluid buildup or something.. But if it’s just a light session, I get a little hard ‘thing’ just on my left hand side just below the gland.

The shaft doesnt swell up or anything, it’s just like theres ‘tubes’ which seem to go heaps hard??

They go away after a few minutes with a little massage, but they keep comming back after every session

Whats going on?
Should I keep going even though there there or should I massage them out and then start again?

My first guess would be that your veins are expanding. That’s normal when doing jelqs. If it’s not fluid in the tissue (donut effect) or your foreskin swelling, then a vein is about the only thing it could be.

I’m not sure, but I’m doubtin it could be a vein ay.
It’s like a perfect ring around the circumference of the shaft below the gland.

It feels very hard and it stays there for quite some time after my jelqing has stopped.. It also seems, that if I don’t massage it out every now and then during the session, I get the ‘dougnut effect’

Can anyone help?

Do a search for “donut effect” and let us know:)

I know it’s been quite a while since you originally posted - but just to let you know, I get the same effect; a hard ring that virtually circles the penis just below the gland. In fact, I was searching for a post just as yours to help me identify what I am doing wrong and whether this could be dangerous.

It definitely is not a vein as a previous poster suggested, and my guess is that it is some sort of fluid buildup, hopefully harmless. It’s not painful in any way, just kind of scary looking. And it does go away after a day or two if I gently massage it and don’t do any PE. I am a relative newbie at this and just think that perhaps I need to go easy for quite a while before jelqing as hard as I have been doing.

Have you continued to experience this and come to any definitive conclusion?

At the beginning I also developed a small hard ring around the top of the penis just below my glans it was more prominent on the right had side. I got kind of worried and gave it a break from PE about a week, mine never disappeared after a workout and considered a doctor visit but after a week it just disappeared. My advice is leave it for a while see if it goes. Mine has never come back. Hope this helps.

It sounds like you have a blockage in the main lymph vessel supplying the glands. There is a main vessel that runs up the dorsal side of the penis and then branches, most encircling the penis, just below the glands. The main vessel connection to the ring is on the dorsal side, but may, or may not, be centered. Mine is significantly to the right of centered.

The basic information I found on it was that it can be treated by massaging the duct very lightly, using multiple strokes, following the vessel around the glands to the branch and then down the penis. You are actually working to get the fluid out of the vessel. I have found this to be effective.
