swollen tip while hanging

Been hanging for around 2 months now with some gains,about 1 cm in length.The problem i have got is that when i am hanging the tip of my head swells and seems to hold fluid.The next day the tip of my head is still v red so ive stopped hanging for a couple of days,but this has happened a few times now.

I always make sure ive squeezed the blood out of head before tightening and i keep the wrap loose.I am uncircumsised so i use a bit of material and an elastic band to protect my head while hanging and the hanger does’nt go past the glands while hanging.I normally hang 10 lbs but it also happens when i am using less weight.Ive also tried various wraps including the one on forum with the diagrams provided by bib i think.

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Did you see this post? Sounds like you need to relieve the pressure in the head while you are hanging. Are you sure the elastic band isn’t restricting circulation? Are you keeping the hanger 1”+ behind the glans?

You’re so effective you should be a moderator…..

I have the same issue. At 12 or 14 pounds and up, about one to one and a half sets is all I can do before head pressure gets too great.

Mememto, in the post it has:

I pushed the wrapped bundle toward the head to allow trapped blood back toward the base before attaching the hanger. If you are getting additional blood while hanging, this will reduce as you go up in weight.”“”“

I don’t think I am understand “pushing the wrapped bundle toward the head” and how that would help.

stick,
Thanks but I think you’d be more effective :)

Grower,

Stick could probably answer this better, but basicaly if you push a constrictive wrapping forward (perhaps while pushing blood out of the tip) you will restrict the capacity for blood towards the head.

Memento summed it up best right there.

Only thing I would add is you should have a loose wrap, tight hanger (as possible).
