spontanous sweeling

I’ve been pumping for about 6 months and also using hand exercises, but last night when I released the pressure a ring of swelling started in my for-skin, I’m partially cut, but the remainder swelled to large per-portions. within 30 minutes it had almost returned to normal and this morning its back to normal. any thing to be worried about.
My routine is
2, 10 minute pumping followed by
2 sessions of hand

note: I have removed the gauge so I can fill the cylinder with water, it seems to work better but I have no way to check pressure

I am not going to keep pumping until someone advices me on this, it kind of scared me.

Hi, nativeson;

Not to worry. You haven’t done permanent damage or really any damage at all, depending on your view.

You have a start on what is called a donut. There are lots of posts about it - do a search of “donut.”

More later.

Thanks alot, man I was nervous.

“note: I have removed the gauge so I can fill the cylinder with water, it seems to work better but I have no way to check pressure”

If you don’t want a donut (some guys actually cultivate them), put your gauge back on for awhile and pump at low enough pressure that you don’t encourage that tissue to bulge. If it does happen slightly, you can usually just massage it out. Each time you encourge swelling there, you weaken the tissue a little more, making the donut more likely to form in the future.

Water pumping changes your perception of how much pressure you are under. You went too high without knowing it.

nativeson,

I’m cut but still get that effect right below the head. Acocet is correct about what it is.. I was scared as hell when I noticed it but it’s no big deal… Keep pumping..
