Blistering, puffiness & fluid build-up.

How many hangers find they experience this, especially on the circ scar, after hanging? Seems to be a common complant and it can be very disconcerting especially the first few times it happens. It’s usually not painful and appears to be benign, but isn’t it annoying! :mad:

Some people have to wait for hours, or even overnight, before the fluid drains away and things look normal again. But there are quicker ways of getting rid of it. I’ve found that if you wrap the area fairly tightly with Theraband and leave it on for about half an hour it will dissipate more quickly. But the quickest cure for me is to simply get an erection, maintain it for about 5 minutes, and after it subsides almost all of the fluid has gone….. just like magic!:) Does this work for other guys too, or do you have your own home remedies?

I get the puffiness and fluid buildup where my foreskin is coming back. It only started recently when I increased my weight to 12.5 lbs. I also get an erection and lightly squeeze the area until the lymph is redistributed throughout. Since motion is the only thing that moves lymph through your body (it’s not pumped like blood) it pools easier.

I also just do a few squeezes and in under a minute all back to norm.

I believe I experienced the same thing, but seem to have built up a resistance now. Problem was the fold of skin (from the one inch gap between the theraband and the glans) compressed between the front edge of the hanger and the glans would “blister” as you said. I asked Bib about it but did not describe it sufficiently I suppose.

The area was tender for a while and I stopped hanging for a couple of days. Next time only quit for a day, now its not a problem.

It may come back when I increase the weights, but will work through it slowly as before. Once you have “hurt” yourself you realize no amount of growth would be worth ruining your pecker.

I only get a small amount of puffiness on the shaft these days, and a bit of disclouration of the glans.

I wrap a bit looser at the glans end, and let it ride over the glans during hanging. This supports everything, and I suspect that this stops any of the pinching as described by Grower, or puffiness and soreness under the glans

P9,

I use the same approach with a looser wrap letting it ride over the gland on the intial wrap. This has eliminated this “problem” completely.

One more thing I switched to the black theraband ,it’s slightly more flexable and easier to work with.

I also start the Thera maybe 1/4 inch down the shaft from the fabric wrap so that there are no sharpish Thera edges cutting into the glans.
