Injured Penis stretching/jelqing

[betaray2626]

Hi, three days ago I hurt my penis - now I've been reading and it says to wait a week or two, but I'd like to say what I've got anyway since I also see a lot of people who don't get better after a week or two.

Where I've marked in red is where I feel "pressure" (it might be a bit bigger than that), I wouldn't call it pain, but when it happened I did feel a bit of pain. The next morning I felt like throwing up, but I think that was more mental and me worrying.
Reading the sticky this sounds kind of like a strained ligament


As for the problems I'm experiencing, ever since it happens I can't get a fully hard erection, and I can pretty much feel that location all the time. I've been abstaining from masturbating and decided it might be good to abstain from getting aroused (but I can't do much at night/in the morning). It feels almost like when my body goes to pump blood in there, it just can't, or maybe its being pumped out as soon as its pumped in. I'm not really sure how to describe the feeling, however, in all cases my erection, while still the same size/length and so on is far softer, easily being bent slightly were as before it was solid like a 'rock'. Also if it means anything, I can squeeze the head and blood will rush out, but it will then refill over a say 4-5 seconds, but I'm pretty sure it was like that before. I think my penis MIGHT be more "vainy", but the before pictures I have don't really show much difference and I wasn't looking for vains when I took them.


Now, should I be using ice on and off for 20 minutes for a couple times? Or is this a terrible idea. I'm used to sports injuries and this is how they handled them, but the penis ain't an arm or a leg.
Also ibuprofen, I've been taking 1 a day. Good idea, bad? Pain is not my concern, I figured it might help with any inflammation, or even thin the blood slightly to stop internal scabbing even though I think I just made that up


I'll keep this thread continually updated as the weeks go on, but I'd like to hear if people have experience with an injury like this, how it went, what you did to fix it or if you haven't. If this doesn't clear up by two weeks I'll try to schedule a doctor's appointment for whatever good it will do. Unless people think I should act right away.


If it means anything, I only tried 3 PE sessions, I did one, waited a day, then did one each day for two days. I was doing the beginner 90 day thing, except I did like a quarter of the stuff it told me too (except for the stretching/warming up/warming down, I did that all). I'll be stopping PE now, I know it works for others but this scare is more than enough to make me come to terms with myself.

to reiterate, anyone have this before/now/ect, what are the dos and don'ts, and anything I'm currently doing should I not be doing?

Edit: Oh also, I've been reading about "hard flaccid". While I'm not 100% sure on the symptoms of a hard flaccid, when sitting down I kind of notice the penis is tucking in sometimes (though it stretches out once I get up). I'm not sure how long this has been going on, but I seem to have wrinkle marks on my penis from it, so it might not be any problem. I'll keep watching it.

Edit 2: I also forgot to say. The area extends down under the testicles, but not to the other side. It feels cold, colder than the rest of it, but I'm not sure if that's because of sweat because, well balls are sweaty. I don't think it would be, I feel it might be inside rather than outside that is cold

I believe you're right .
Strained ligs
The best thing to do would be keep him warm for a few days .
And try not to play with him .
We all get over zealous .
Not to worry .
If he doesn't get better an a few days , I recommend seeing your Doctor .
Keep doing the Beginner routine to condition your self .
And use your common sense .

You think I should actually keep doing it? Let's say I was wrong and it's something else, couldn't that end up hurting it, even if I go very easy?

Also I added an edit, I forgot to mention a part

Would kegels be a bad idea or not?

I would recommend that you wait till he's better before doing more with him .
And kegals won't hurt him .
Just don't overdo them .

You will want to check out the following site for accurate symptoms of Hard Flaccid as described by a urologist who frequently treats the condition: Firm Flaccid Penis
Make sure if AFTER checking out the above site you continue with PE, your jelqing is light and not excessive for a beginner, your stretches are not discomfortable, you shouldn't be stretching your penis like you'd stretch your hamstrings for instance like by forcing it and breathing through the stretch. The penis has to be built up over time, the reason the veterans can do what they do is because they've worked up to it, and because of genetics, your penis won't necessarily be able to take the strain as somebody elses might, meaning you'll need to go easier or you risk seriously putting your dick out of commission.

I can't change what's already happened, and unless there's a physical conditioning reason to continue PE, I'm done with it.

I'm curious though, I keep feeling my left testicle feeling cold. I don't feel sweat on it, but it feels cold, kind of under the skin or something. I'm not sure if it's exactly the testicle itself or not, but that general area

also, icing, bad idea? how about ibuprofen?
Edit: Also, it says, "Lots of rest is required for strained ligaments... and it's of the utmost importance!"
Are my symptoms similar to what you'd expect with "strained ligaments"? Obviously there hasn't been enough time passed to be called "lots of rest" so I still have time to wait to see how things go.

My left testicle does feel unusually cold though...
I was just reading it may be due to poor circulation, which might be injured veins or something (I'm taking wild guesses)
Should I go to a doctor as soon as possible, or give it till the end of the month (2~ weeks) for rest?

Edit: I read this in the dealing with injury thread. I don't have the "great deal of pain" when pulling in any direction.

My question is ...... how do you know if you really hurt yourself? How do you know the difference between a strained ligament and one that requires surgery? I have no bruising or swelling. Just a very strained and sore feeling.

A more severe injury would likely be accompanied by swelling or discoloration. There would also likely be a great deal of pain, and if anything were dislocated or torn (which is unlikely) it could be felt by (VERY LIGHTLY) pulling your penis in certain angles and testing a contraction against it.

EDIT: Another point I noticed
I'm not sure if it's normal, but my balls seem to be flushed red. I'll see if it's just temporary, but the center strip connecting the two sides is skin color, and the underside is skin color. I don't have pictures of my balls before hand so its hard to compare it. Left testicle is still colder.

Hi betaray. Did this heal itself fully or at all? And if so, how? I am having the same issue. It's 5 days since I jelqued for the first time (matsurbated the day after) and haven't been able to get an erection myself, apart from weak ones in the morning, since. Please let me know. I am very worries.
