Greetings everyone.
I’ve been a long-time lurker of this site as PE has always interested me, but due to a recent injury I felt like I should make a first post.
I bought a Bathmate back in March in hopes of gaining some erect length/girth. After a few sessions I lost interest and it sat unused, until just over a month ago when I decided to get back into it due to a new relationship. Almost immediately upon using it again I noticed a drop in EQ when with my girl. I attributed it mainly to performance anxiety, but also assumed that the Bathmate had a part to play and that the issue would improve over time.
The routine I followed is one I got from MorePlatesMoreDates, where he claims to have used the device for one 10-12 minute session each day. (Dumb routine, I know, I should have eased into it more.) Anyways I tried it, and at first edema was a big issue but that subsided over time and the pump was insane. I took the lack of edema to mean that my penis was becoming conditioned to the pressure and continued as normal. Well, about 4 weeks ago I was following the same routine when something didn’t feel right, almost like a dull ache in the left side of my glans. I immediately took off the Bathmate and didn’t touch it for a few days, and when I tried again I only used it for 5 minutes with less pressure. Things seemed to be going normal after that and I probably got 2 or 3 more 10 minute sessions in until one day (about 2 weeks ago) I noticed while at work that my penis felt kind of cold and hard, very similar to the “hard flaccid” that I’ve read about on here. I figured I had overdone it with the Bathmate and haven’t touched it since. I even thought it might just be foot pain translating to feelings in the penis since I’ve noticed that as well, but I feel it’s something deeper.
For the past two weeks I have been practically unable to get an erection with my girl, often going limp when changing positions or being unable to achieve one at all. What’s strange is that after one instance I immediately went to the bathroom to see if I could get one on my own, which I could. It was firm and I was able to maintain it for a bit while standing up. I’ve also been having sharp pains on the right side of my perineum when I bend over, and just recently it feels as if something is swollen inside of the same region. I was also getting very strong morning wood up until this past week, and one day while at work I noticed that everything felt normal again and when I got home I was able to get hard and stay hard relatively easily. That was a little under a week ago now, and the issues are still here despite the few instances where I feel normal.
Any input about what this could be, shared experiences, treatment, etc would be very much appreciated. I have an appointment with a urologist next week so hopefully I will have some information to bring back here about what’s going on. I’m suspicious of Pudendal Neuralgia, but we’ll see.
Thank you!
