Possible Nerve Damage with Hanging

Hey there everybody. Not really a new member here, but just never posted. Great site with a lot of useful info.

As the title of this thread, I believe I caused some serious damage with hanging. I am using a Bib starter and was just starting out with hanging. I was figuring out the best way to adjust the hanger and fix my technique. I have been posting on Bib’s forums and he has been very helpful and has been responding to my questions. This was going well until I did a set which basically took almost all the sensitivity away from my glans. I was still hanging at 5 pounds and did not move up in weight but my glans are just not sensitive anymore. When I stimulate myself, I am able to get an erection and able to get blood into the glans as well. Just like a normal erection. So this is hinting that no chambers within the penis for bloodflow were blocked off. Just damage to the peripheral nerves.

With very limited reading on my part, nerves may or may not regenerate. Is anybody familiar with anatomy here? Crushing nerves is different from cutting of nerves supposedly and I was reading about Wallerian degeneration which is giving me hope. I am going to quote the article:

“When a peripheral nerve is cut, the axon segments distal to the injury (furthest away from the spinal cord) die off in a process called “Wallerian degeneration.” When the nerve is repaired, the axons in the proximal segment (closest to the spinal cord) regrow into the distal, denervated segment. This growth occurs at a rate of about 1 mm per day. This translates roughly to 1 inch per month, or 1 foot per year. Once the axons regrow back into the denervated muscles, the muscles will begin to function again. During the time it takes for the axons to regrow into the muscles, a process that can take many months, or even years, the muscles will be paralyzed and will atrophy.”

So theoretically, I am going to heal as the nerve is going to repair originating from the spinal cord. I took a ruler and measured from underneath my penis to the head and was about 13 inches. 13 inches = 330.2 mm which translates to about 330 days for recovery. So almost a full year for possible recovery and restoring all sensation to the glans of my penis. Does anybody have medical knowledge on this stuff? I would appreciate any knowledge on this.

Right now my stats are:

BPEL - 7.5 in.
BPFSL - 8.1 in.
MEG - 4.9 in.

I did some PE earlier this year and probably gained about half an inch but doing any stretching was not doing anything because it seems my tissues are very resistant to the manual stuff which is the reason why I went with hanging. I read on some posts that women prefer the 7.5 inch length as the ideal length and pretty much 6 is the ideal girth every guy wants as well the girls. So I basically shouldn’t even train length anymore huh? If and when I fully recover I should just focus on girth. When I masturbate it does actually look pretty long at 100% erection just that girth is lacking. I think I am gonna ditch the hanging and focus on girth once I make my recovery. Advice? I appreciate it.

All I know is that it take awhile to get sensitivity back just from reading PE boards. I think vitamin d helps with your nerves too it could be a different vitamin though and yeah forget about length I never cared and I was average before too

It will likely take less than a year to get sensation back. Permanent hanging injury usually is drastic, like hospital level. It may take a while but you should be okay if you didn’t bleed or actually damage ligaments.

Of course, I’m not a doctor. I have not examined your penis. But my hanging injury healed in way less than a year. Most of the noncritical ones do. And being prudent and easy on PE for the time being are the best steps to take.

I meant to say 13 inches from my tailbone to the head of my flaccid penis. If that makes any sense. A 13 inch penis, that would be something.

Hey thoughtfulgold. When I hanged I basically created a noose that kind of moved on top of the glans. This was only one set but this was enough to cause the damage it did.

With your injury, was it similar to mine where you lost almost all sensation on glans? How long did it take for your sensation to fully restore? Either way, I can’t go to a Urologist with this one. They never help and always tell me to wait it out. Which has worked, but this an injury I have never received before.

I’m 21 years old and have extremely high testosterone levels at 1500 ng/dL when normal is 270 to 1070 ng/dL. It is really hard to not think about sex and masturbation and have been masturbating quite frequently. The erections are still somewhat good. Should I quit all stimulation for the time being? I’m gonna ask a doctor and hopefully get a recommendation to a doctor dealing with the peripheral nervous system. I hate Urologists. They just do not help.

Is there any supplements, diets you tried that you think worked. Sorry brotha about bombarding you with all these questions. Just want to be fully functional down there and only work on girth once the recovery has been made.

One more thing, how long will it take to gain 1 inch girth?

P.S. I saw that you used the lengthmaster. I have one too but chose to use the Bib but how was your experience with it? It was never uncomfortable for me but the safety of the thing is questionable.

It was similar. I kept letting the bib slip too close to my glans and the last time I hung with it, it slipped over while fixed on tightly then slipped off. THAT hurt for a while.

Supplements? L-Arginine is my go to, when I do a supplement. Nothin’ much else. Zinc is probably good though.

I can’t answer your girth question. My crystal ball is broke. *chuckles*

Lengthmaster was meh. Literally, you fix a vise made of two pieces of wood that screw together to compress to your dick and it has handles. Then you pull like the dickens. Probably a series of poor choices on my part, to be honest.
