Torn penile lig

I was reading on the WebMD message board about a man doing jelq who thinks he

tore his penile lig.

Does anyone out there have any information on how long this might take to heal

and if it will cause a

shortening of his penis. Please reply on these boards.

Thank you

I’m wondering how somebody could tear a lig by jelqing. Rupturing a vessel, maybe.

But I would think tearing a lig might cause it to shorten a little. I don’t claim to be a medical expert, so take it for what it’s worth.

Like Size says, how can anyone tear a ligament by jelqing??? the only thing I can imagine is pulling rather than “squeezing” towards the glans (the word swueeze isn’t exactly right, but I’m sure you guys know what I mean! )

As far as a “torn” ligament is concerned, one has to know what type of “tear” and “where” the injury is: at an “insertion point”, along the ligament itself, etc…

And then of course the “grade” of the injury: a complete tear (highest grade) would actually mean surgery to re-join the ligament.

In some cases the words “torn ligament” might only mean servere micro-tears: Cure time could be anywhere between 2 weeks to 6 weeks (complete).

Any change in length would be un-noticeable (except that of a tear which required surgical intervention). The only noticeable change would be the flexibilty.

Where there are “tears” in ligaments, the body realeases it’s own “natural adhesives”. this new “joint” is practically inflexible (certainly in comparison to the flexibility before injury).. but only at that “joint”.

I hope this has helped a little!
