How Long To Heal After Minor Jelqing Injury?

Hi everybody,

I know that every body responds differently to an injury and obviously some will heal faster than others. I’m also aware that listening to your body is the best gauge for knowing when you’re back to normal again and such.

I started very slow and did only the newbie routine. I did four different sessions. On the fourth session, I made sure to focus on starting the jelq at the very base of my shaft and then worked upwards but stopped before getting to the glans. I also did a warm up of at least a 10 min bath before jelqing and after.

During the actual jelq, I didn’t experience any pain. I think I gripped the base of my shaft too hard (typical newbie mistake- *now* I know), because I still have some pain that radiates from there. Fortunately, I have not experienced any of the “hard flaccid” symptoms so far. I still have all sensitivity, I have morning wood, and I can get erections. My erections were actually at times stronger than normal.

My main complaint is that I have pain localized at the base of my penis where I gripped too strongly. My erection during jelqing may have been above 80% for a few moments and I should have been more aware. I know that newbies shouldn’t jelq when this hard, and I should have been paying more attention to exactly how hard I was.

I injured myself 3 days ago, and as the days went by the pain did seem to lessen. I tried just gently touching the area at the base of the shaft to do some testing, and the pain has come back, pretty much as strong as the first day I injured myself.

Before touching the area that hurts, I masturbated twice on two different days and was able to cum. I decided however to leave my unit alone after that so that it can heal faster .

How long (just from your personal experiences) did it take before you recovered from something like this? I’m guessing maybe I just pinched a nerve or something? Or maybe I stressed a ligament at the base? I appreciate any feedback, and apologize for the perennial newb questions. Hope everyone had a good Christmas!

To start, it sounds like you have not sustained a serious injury. I’m not a urologist, I’m a random dude on a PE forum so if it doesn’t improve please consult a medical professional.

In my opinion it sounds like you may have sprained or torn a ligament in your base. Based off of the fact that you haven’t had decreased EQ, numbness, or any negative physiological indicators outside of localized pain, I don’t think you’re in any serious trouble. The recommendation I’ve heard on here is wait 2-3 weeks and let it heal completely before attempting any more PE based activities. If you don’t let it heal completely and it’s something like what I’m suggesting (sprained lig), starting earlier could cause the tissue to toughen. This would hinder future gains because tough tissue will be more resistant to manipulation.

I think the time Is about the same as average rest IPR time

Thank you guys for your input. I tried earlier to do some light masturbation but only got to about 30% erection, and I think I was too worried about hurting my dick to go any farther. Hopefully that doesn’t mean any sort of permanent damage. I’ll update once anything changes. Thanks again

So you let it heal for what 3-4 days before fooling around with it? Why not give yourself 10-14 days of no nothing with it to allow it to heal properly.
