Question about DMSO

I have some on and off nerve stuff going (numbness, fecal incontinence, urinary incontinence) on from past cycling and have been recommended DMSO twice now from other members on this board. I also suffered a bit from Bathmate overuse back in 2019, and a bacterial infection that I think left some scar tissue in its track. I also think I have some Pudendal nerve stuff going on, because I sometimes get a numb sensation on the right side of my anus when passing stools, as well as a quick shooting pain that starts from that side if I’m doing a reverse kegel.

Overall my general flaccid hang is not very good and often firm. At night it does release every now and then, especially if I’m smoking weed. Don’t really have an issue getting it up and my bloodwork comes back fine.

That said, it is bad enough for me to want to try and do something about it. I have not tried DMSO yet.

Anyone else use DMSO by itself? Which to buy and how to apply?

Thanks

Geez, I’m sorry you’re going through all that. I’m not going to be much help, I haven’t had any experience with it firsthand, but my Mother and a buddy of mine used it while battling colon cancer. I’ll pick their brains on it, unless somebody else chimes in with like information.

Definitely seems like something your PCM should be involved with, given the nature of the substance.

Reading across the web, the general consensus is non prescribed forms of DMSO can contain harmful contaminants, as it’s not regulated as such between anti-inflammatory and its industrial solvent uses. That’s enough for me, that without a doctor, I wouldn’t use it.

You’ve surely seen this thread?

I have… of all things I’d use the DMSO for, using it for the hemorrhoid’s is most appealing for me. I get these tiny, tiny red spots on my anus skin right near the opening that bleed every now and then when I wipe. They’re basically hemorrhoid’s and not a skin condition, from what I’m told.

I have a feeling the two are related (the hemorrhoid’s and the hard flaccid stuff). DMSO seems promising but don’t think I’ll give it a try.

It’s possible, but just because your prescription box says Bayer or Pfizer on it doesn’t mean it’s not a worthless knockoff, either. The counterfeit drug problem in the supply chain is borderline horrifying.

I got a half-liter of industrial grade DMSO from eBay for around $15, shipped. I’m dubious it would address the OP’s problem, but it’s cheap enough to be worth trying.

And to your point, don’t even get me started on my experiences with Zoloft and Wellbutrin, two drugs that are widely prescribed at the blink of an eye and, in my opinion, have lasting effects and literally can change people’s mood for the remainder of their life. They can be - sometimes are - life changing drugs that are widely, widely prescribed to even minors. It’s honestly a crime.

Something like DMSO/anything over the counter I trust more than anything that comes out of big pharma, seriously.

Anyways I did end up buying DMSO and Lugol’s Iodine last night so giving it a shot. If not, going to head into the urologist.

This is, overall, just an annoyance. Everything is just very tight down there and it’s like I have no sensation in the scrotum or shaft. I urinate frequently and my rectum always feels tight when passing stools too. I stretch every day, workout, eat well…. The only thing is that’s maybe worth mentioning is that I like my weed…. Usually smoke every night, but am trying to get off that. It probably has something to do with all of this.

If you decide to use it I’d recommend pure 99% dmso and not mixed with anything, A lower percentage will cause the famous dmso Odour or breath and people will be avoiding you.
