You're welcome, Millionaire. Thank you
Ok. Great
Everything. Everything written in the first post is important. Perhaps supplements and medication can be secondary, if your diet is perfect. But all the other items are important. You have to apply all of them, simultaneously.
You can ask me, "Aren't Reverse Kegels and Hindi Squats the most important thing?" No. If you do RKs and Hindi Squats, but, at the same time, you masturbate every day, you are full of stress, you do not train posture and flexibility, nor you sit in a softer chair (if you are sitting all day), the effect and effectiveness of RKs and Hindi Squats are going to be weak. Everything is important.
The answer to that question is exactly all the items that are written in the treatment list of the first postThis entire thread is dedicated to healing injuries and muscular contractures of the IC muscle. That's what Hard Flaccid is. Regarding specifically the strengthening of the IC muscle, I recommend no more than my 95% flexibility and 5% IC Kegels routine during Edging. And I only started that routine after 6 weeks of pure flexibility. You have a muscular contracture. You mostly need flexibility in the pelvic floor. Applying a higher proportion of Kegels is contraindicated and risky.
Yes, I've heard of it. The first time I read about Angion Method was 2 years ago. Regarding Hard Flaccid, I think that if the benefits exist, they will be few.
First, regarding Penis Enlargment. The Angion Method is nothing more than a very light Jelqing and a moderate Edging exercise. I think it is simply because of this that some rare members claim to have some penis size gains over the course of several months. But its effectiveness for PE is very low. However, it may have benefits regarding the quality of erection, because it improves blood flow (arterial and venous) in the penis.
Regarding Hard Flaccid. The Angion Method is mostly a vascular exercise. Hard Flaccid is not a vascular disease. It's a muscular problem. Which causes, secondarily, a decrease in blood flow, due to the muscle contracture. Therefore, the Angion Method is not acting directly in the cause of Hard Flaccid.
"Romero, but some people have improved Hard Flaccid with the Angion Method." - I know. I read the cases. I think the only way that the Angion Method can have a small direct benefit on Hard Flaccid is:
1 - Through the Angion Method 2.0 - you are activating the Bulbocavernous Reflex when you are squeezing the penis glans. Which will give rise to a Front Kegel, which gives a little physiotherapeutic stimulation. But I think it will have no more advantages than my Edging routine in the first post. Also, don't forget that doing Front Kegels alone is highly counterproductive for Hard Flaccid. You can make the injury worse. You have a muscular contracture, you need flexibility training. Hence, my routine of 95% flexibility and 5% strength.
2 - Through the Angion Method 3.0 (lying down) - when you apply the continuous movement to the corpus spongiosum (CS), you are applying a small stretch to the IC and BC muscles at the base of the penis. And, consequently, applying a small physiotherapeutic stimulus. Once again, I think it will have no more advantages than my Edging routine.
Indirect benefit:
1 - Theoretically you are improving the quality of erections. It will have the same effect as stopping watching porn, decreasing the frequency of masturbation, practicing Edging, exercising, sleep well, eat well and taking supplements that improve the blood flow of the penis. However, the origin of Hard Flaccid is not vascular. It's muscular.
Therefore, in my opinion, the Angion Method does not add any benefit to what is already advised in the first post. If you still want to give the Angion Method a chance, pay attention to excess Kegels. And you can't force erections with Hard Flaccid. You will make the injury worse if you do. The percentage of Reverse Kegels has to be much higher if you want to cure Hard Flaccid. Do the Angion Method always with Reverse Kegels, if you want to try it.
HahahaInteresting. Several people have asked me this question...
I admit that it is my fault. Most likely because of my post 21. Alright...
- No, I don't think they are strictly necessary.
- Yes, I think they contribute to recovery. A LOT.
"Romero, what's the damn logic?" - What matters is the journey. Not the destination. You need to improve your flexibility. Period. By improving flexibility, you will improve your posture and you will improve the mobility of all the muscles that are around the pelvic floor, increasing the flexibility of the pelvic floor. This does not happen only when you manage to do full splits, right?
I am cured of Hard Flaccid, but I am far from being able to do full splits. However, I am much more flexible. A LOT more flexible. And that was extraordinarily important for my recovery. I can't do the full splits, but the flexibility I gained was very important to cure Hard Flaccid.
Therefore, no, doing the full splits is not necessary. But your goal is to be able to do themLast edited by Romero MD; 11-23-2020 at 05:03 AM.
On PEGym, my thoughts, impressions, ideas, opinions and advice are NOT your definitive diagnosis.
You should always seek a complete medical examination, medical tests and other opinions, with other qualified health professionals and medical doctors outside the online world.

Hi Doc,
Thanks for the reply. Injury was approximately 8 weeks ago - never had any significant bruising nor any significant pain. Symptoms were / are very similar to most others on here - cold feeling at the beginning, some penile pain, increased curve, and HF symptoms including a "dent" on the left side near where I felt the pop. Any erections I have had feel a little less stable on the left and I do feel a bit disconnected. Went to a urologist ~3 weeks post initial injury after 2+ weeks of no sexual activity and he said there was no permanent damage or hernia, and that I could return to some mild masturbation / sexual activity. I did, but trying to have sex with my girlfriend was uncomfortable and the premature ejaculation was awful. I haven't done anything in the last 3+ weeks, but still have the groin and pubic swelling and mild discomfort if I'm walking or standing for an extended period of time. Have seen a primary care doc who only recommended another urologist - so I have that scheduled in a couple weeks time. I haven't been doing too much of the flexibility work because I didn't want to tear anything further if it was a tear. If you think this will help with healing, I'm all ears! Will start adding the supplements and have been adding heat when possible which seems to help a bit. If you have any recommendations for what I should ask the doctor when next I go, that would be hugely appreciated.

I truly believe that it is impossible for Hard Flaccid to create scar tissue.
If it can go away completely? I will quote the answer I gave you 3 weeks ago:
“Do I think it is permanent? No. Don't even think about it. Forget it. It is not permanent at all. You just need to be aggressive and constant in relaxing your muscles in the opposite direction. Don't you know people who have had muscle injuries for several months/years, and who are able to fully recover, with physical therapy, time, rest and good nutrition? It is exactly the same here. There are milder injuries and more serious injuries. And the rate at which each body recovers depends on many factors. But what really matters is that the body is a healing machine. You just need to offer it the right materials and stimuli.”
Have you ever had an image exam on your penis? Why don't you make an appointment with a Urologist and ask for an ultrasound or an MRI scan? So that you can be more mentally rested. It helps. It decreases stress. But I think the Hard Flaccid is completely reversible.
So are you trying to say that the injury couldn't have caused scar tissue? I feel like hard flaccid is more of a symptom. My injury was a strain of the PF through kegeling while it was already tense and subsequently forcing ejaculation via the kegel. I had a habit of kegeling during masturbation in general and i believe my PF had become quite tense and this time i perhaps kegeled extra hard to force the ejaculation. It felt uncomfortable, but there was no significant pain at the time but immediately developed hard flaccid and flaccid penis pulling toward the left. Subsequently as I continued to have erections I developed retraction of my left testicle and discomfort around the testicle which seems to correspond with the severity of the hard flaccid which gets worse with frequent erections. The worse the hard flaccid the worse the retraction of my left testicle and the more discomfort/ache in that region. Symptoms all seem to improve when laying down/sleeping only to get worse as the day progresses.
Is this indicative of normal/benign hard flaccid, or do you think that I may damaged my pelvic floor to the point where it has scar tissue? I'm not so much worried about scar tissue in my penis but rather my pelvic floor which is where the injury/strain originated.Last edited by HelpmeHF; 11-22-2020 at 02:59 PM.

Thank you!
I completely agree for logical reasons, but I'll be honest I am really struggling with it. Several times I seem to make it around 10 days before I relapse. I know I need to improve my willpower to not allow it. I can go several days without any temptation at all and then a wave of testosterone hits me and I go animalistic.
Good feedback, I agree! I'm actually not completely removed from social media. I have just not allowed myself to do aimless scrolling. I will log in for a specific purpose, check notifications, and log back out.
Ok this is interesting because I did do a 5 day water fast when I was having greater pain and I did have good luck with it! I do agree our body needs nutrients, but ... and this is a question not an argument... isn't the liver supposed to store a supply of essential nutrients to last a few days? I believe the reason I had good luck with my 5 day water fast is because I was not having regular bowel movements. That took a significant strain away from my pelvic floor at a time it desperately needed the rest. When I started eating again the pain came back the very first bowel movement I had.
Thanks again for all your input!

Maybe not completely related to hard flaccid but related to overall injuries, I was asking you since you were doc and wanted your opinion on it.
. But here are some threads were they mention heavy precum. Everyone with excessive precum has premature ejaculation in these threads. A andrologist Ive met also told me PE sufferers have excessive precum.
This is the only study I have, will update if I find the full study AB218. The size of seminal vesicles on ultrasound is related with premature ejaculation - Yao - Translational Andrology and Urology
Could this be pelvic floor related? hard flaccid? what do you think, just quickly look over the links I share

Doc just out of curiosity how does people make progress with DCT if Hard flaccid is a IC problem?

I have that too sometimes. My best explanation is that pre cum is mostly semen and it’s produced in the prostate whereas the actually sperm is produced in the testicles. Both are affected by the pelvic floor being in spasm especially the prostate.
Hopefully the doctor can correct me if I’m wrong. Sorry Doc for stealing the lime light😁

Hey doc, good to hear you’ve recovered.
I’ve got a Question for you that might have you researching for a while:
What’s your thoughts on people who get HF from drugs such as Accutane, Finasteride, SSRIs etc?
I’ve looked at some people with Post Finasteride Syndrome, and they guys with only sexual symptoms and hard flaccid have all the symptoms as normal Hf patients. They also found relief in pelvic floor relaxation/exercises.
Do you think it’s everyone’s anxiety/Nervous system being out of whack because of drugs/penis injuries causing all of our Hfs and now the bodies confused in the pelvic region?
Penimaster is garbage. I just...
