Damage to penis...

Was recently hanging my penis for ten minutes. When I was done there was this very hard thing on my penis. It is a vein that has turned hard, it think. I can move it and I think it may be starting to get softer. But is there anything that can be done to me my vein soft again? It is only apart of the vein that has been affected and it is about a half an inch long. This was the part of the vein where the hanger was on. Please help the thing is very annoying

Sounds like you have a thrombosed vein. It’s not serious and will probably go away by itself but you need to stop hanging and massage the area with a little vitamin E cream. A warm wrap can also help. Here are a couple of threads from members who have experienced the same thing.

Thrombosed vein….

Hard vein….

Just a few questions. What hanger were you using, how long have you been hanging for and at what weight were you hanging? Did you warm up?

It’s often caused by doing too much too soon so when you resume in a couple of weeks time take it easy!

Keep us posted.

I was using the drumstick (from Tom Hubbard’s site). But I am not using weights. I have a resistor cord for my at home gym and I am using that. What I do is I connect the cord up to my bed post and lay down in bed then I slowly move away from my bed post until I feel a good stretch. Is this a good way to do this? The resistor cord is made of elastic and other stretchy materials. So I do not use weights. I just pritty much strech the hell out of it. I streched it for about ten minutes. And no I did not use any type of heat wrap. But I did do a Jelq set of 200 about 5 minutes before hand. O and is it ok to continue to jelq with this thing say if I cut back to 100 sets? Thanks alot!

Yes, it sounds like it was brought on by the old TMTS syndrome (too much too soon)!

In a mechanical sense, a resistor cord will do the job quite well, but in practice it can lead to problems. The main problem is that you can’t actually guage how much force is being applied so it makes it much easier to get over enthusiastic, do too much and injure yourself. Having set weights and methodically working through them will help minimise the chance of injury. I believe P9 has reached a successful compromise by using a resistor cord attached to a spring scale which is anchored to the floor and measures the amount of force being applied. When you start hanging it’s best to use only light weights - your penis has to get used to these new stresses and will respond even at low weights…… but at weights that are too heavy it responds with injuries.:( Also, it may be better to jelq after you hang rather than before ….. or even leave it out altogether - others have reported injuries by mixing the two - it tends to stress the penis too much. A hot wrap may also help prepare the tissue before your workout.

No jelqing or any form of PE if you want a fast recovery. Read the thread below - it’s excellent, appropriate and has just been updated with good advice from a doctor.

Hard vein….

Rest up and you’ll be better in no time!
