Penis shrinkage. Possible injury? Please help

[will3009 Banned Find all posts View Profile Close will3009]

Hi. Please help me.

The other day I was masturbating. I was about to ejaculate, and then I tried to hold it in. I tried to relax but it was too late. I did not climax but semen started coming out of the head of my penis. I then continued masturbating and properly climaxed a few seconds later.

I think I remember feeling some pain. My penis went back to a flaccid state much more rapidly than it normally does after erection. The next day my penis was shrunken, and not hanging in a natural way. It is almost like it is not hanging from the abdominal wall, and instead protruding from the top of the scrotum.

I am 19 years old by the way. My penis is usually about 4.5 inches flaccid. It is now suddenly about 2.5 inches.

I can barely get an erection - I can, but it takes ages for my penis to lift and it instantly goes back down aswell.

It has been like this for two whole days.

It has not been painful urinating, but it has felt slightly uncomfortable and definitely a bit forced.

I am really worried that I have damaged a vein or muscle in my penis by tensing it to try and stop myself ejaculating. The only reason I can think of.

Above all, it is the shrivelled and uncomfortable feel of the penis that is worrying me. I am 6'6' tall and have never felt really comfortable with my penis size, since being tall makes it look smaller. However, 4.5 is an ok size. The size it has shrunken to is not ok, and is making me feel suicidal. I feel desperate and am praying it returns to normal again.

This is the issue in short. There is more background below if you want to read but basically, the above is the crux of the issue. PLEASE help me. Any advice would be greatly appreciate.





If you would like to know more background, please read on. In terms of background...Recently I had been smoking a lot of cigarettes and marijuana which had been giving me difficulty with erections. But I was not smoking cigarettes near the time of this 'injury.' My arousal levels were fine.

Two days before the ''injury'' I smoked about 6 joints all night with a friend. I dont think this is relevant though, as it was two days before and I noticed nothing wrong with my penis or arousal levels at that time, only after the masturbation incident.

Also I had recently been jelqing to try and increase my penis size. It was not long term, I had only been doing it for 2 weeks. I had been doing it safely. This is not relevant because I had taken a break from it for a whole week before this happened.

The only thing I can think of is that I am currently taking penis enlargement pills. They are Vimax, you take one a day and there shouldnt be any side effects. You can take one before sex to increase arousal. I actually took one on this occasion shortly before masturbation because I was feeling tired from staying up all night the other day smoking marijuana, so I wasnt feeling particularly aroused.

I dont see why there should be a link, unless there was too much blood flow to my penis and something snapped. But I am seriously convinced that it was to do with me trying to hold in my ejaculation, and a vein or muscle that is related to ejaculation breaking or being constricted.

As a precaution I have discontinued the penis pills, for the moment. I Dont see this as a link though, it is just a precaution.

Please please help me

don't worry so much. i know it can be traumatic, but you'll be ok.

you're overthinking this, its simply a case of an overworked penis, and a few days rest and a bit of stretching will do you wonders. if you're looking to avoid such things again, properly conditioning your penis will help.

Hi...I've waited about 5 days of complete rest...nothing has changed

It is taking much longer than usual for me to start to pee...I can get weak erections but nothing remotely like before. My penis only goes back to normal length when urinating, then shrinks again afterwards. My penis still looks 'scrotalized' instead of hanging naturally. I am seriously worried I have damaged a vein or something...hence the difficulty peeing and the slowness to get an erection (and weakness of it), even when I am feeling very aroused.

This is starting to get seriously depressing...I am feeling suicidal about it. If it is something that can be naturally cured, then I can hang in there, but it is the thought that I might need surgery to unblock a vein or something which is driving me crazy.

Please please help me

seriously. relax. you are stressing. imagine you sprained an ankle, and after 3 days were like 'omg im never gonna walk again just cut my leg off!!!11' chill.

you need heat, light stretching, hydration, and less stress. dont take any pills, dont jerk off, dont think about it all day long. the penis is an incredibly resilient thing, but the human body can only heal so fast.

now, to dispel your fears: there are no veins involved in ejaculation. learn your anatomy boy. if you broke a vein your dick would be purple and swollen. if you tore a muscle, the pain would be constant and agonizing. what you have is maybe a small case of soft tissue swelling, probably near or inside the urethra. nothing to fret about. the other thing you have is a massive case of hypochondriac-iness. the build up of pressure probably just roughed up the inside of your spit pipe a bit. relax. give it a week and if you still think its gonna fall off go see a urologist.

Thank you very much for your time and your reassurances.

However, I think I have identified what the problem is.

Turkey neck/penoscrotal webbing.

I am circumcised. This was done age 11. I have always felt that circumcision has changed the dynamic of my penis. This is because I know that it can be a good average length when well hung, but most of the time the skin is taught and tight.

This is because I had a tight circumcision.

Overly tight circumcision can lead to the scrotum climbing up the underside of the penis. More skin is drawn up into the penis when erect because there is not enough on the shaft. tightcircumcision

This makes it appear smaller. I think I had a bit of this anyway. But not particularly noticeable. Still, very frustrating and depressing when you have been mutilated without your consent.

But anyway...read this article. Turkey Neck: Penoscrotal Webbing>>>Eliminate it!!

It appears jelqing can create/exacerbate this condition. This is the 'scrotalization' I have been speaking of.

My penis is looking very small both when flaccid and erect because on the underside, the scrotum webbing is halfway up the shaft, making it seem like my penis is half the size it is.

It can also cause pain for the woman apparently when you enter her, to have an angle jarring against her from the underside of the penis.

Please help me...I am being a bit dramatic at the moment, yes. My parents are splitting up, I am recovering from a broken arm, I havent seen my girlfriend for a week and I am just fed up. I dont want to be around my friends, have sex for the first time with my girlfriend, or go to work.

I can deal with all this, I dont need a reassuring answer just to make me feel better. I want an honest answer so I can find the best solution and move forward.

Can this be resolved naturally or only surgically?

issues with skin can usually be solved within the time frame of 3-6 months. full foreskin restoration can take a few years, but to grow enough skin to help your condition probably would not take more than 6 months.

Ok...sounds pretty hit and miss. I'm a little OCD and I cant really be relaxed about something like that...about waiting for skin to comen. I get worried about these things on a personal level.

I have seen that surgery is a pretty common option for this...for disconnecting the connection between the scrotum and the underside of the penis...? This doesnt sound too bad for me...I would just never consider something which is playing around with the interior of the penis which is where I thought the problem lay...this seems to be to the exterior of the penis.

Will, how are you. I dont know much about your routine as I tried to see if you had a log. You should start one because we can get in it and look at your routine. i was looking to see what your overall routine is. I agree with the Rockstar. You should relax and give it a week or two if it even takes that long.
Sounds to me by what I have seen is that you may have a minor injury do to overdoing it. That doesnt always mean that you worked out to much, it can also mean that you did just one exercise with too much entusiasm. Turtling is a negative physical indicator but it is less severe than many other negative PIs.
Just try to relax and that alone will help, overstressing will not help. If you have problems that dont sseem to be going away then you should seek the advice of a urologist.
In the meantime do some warmups throughout the day, do not pe and if you enjoy the mary jane, ease off a bit. you only need a few puffs to get the feeling you seek, six doobs man, after your baked your just wasting the rest. you could have kept some for the next day!
Partying too hard can effect your wangster response time.
Good luck and stay safe, take it easy and the pee wee will be fine.

Thank you so much.

Just to sum up, the problems I am having are:

> Extreme turtling 24/7 for over a week. This is the main thing which is driving me crazy. My penis is literally a short hard stub all the time. Only when I pee does it hang normally.

> Very bad turkey neck (I had a bit of this anyway but made worse by jelqing). The scrotum webbing is 1/3 the way up the underside my erect penis and more than half the way up the bottom of my flaccid penis.

> Slowness to get erections (and they are weak). Today for the first time after a week I voluntarily got a hard, long lasting erection. This was lying down. When I tried to get an erection standing up, it wouldn't work at all.


These are my main problems. I am praying to god they go away soon.

Wow it's amazing how much stuff you can find on the internet by researching.

Basically, I am suffering from a case of hard flaccid penis.

Hard Flaccid Penis

This was DEFINITELY not caused by the jelqing. I jelqed for 2 weeks and was experiencing fantastic results in girth and flaccid hang after only 1 week. I stopped the jelqing after 2 weeks because I went on holiday to Portugal and I simply didn't have time to maintain my routine every day. I was going to recommence my programme when I got home.

I think what was caused by the jelqing was the pronounced turkey neck I have noticed. Whether or not turkey neck can impact on penile shrinkage, I don't know.

After coming back from a weeks holiday, during which I did not jelq, I masturbated for the first time since I went on holiday. This is what I am certain caused the hard flaccid penis. I wasn't feeling very aroused (due to being tired and smoking a lot of marijuana two days before) so I took a vimax penis pill to increase arousal. I masturbated pretty vigorously, and as I have said, felt a twinge of pain when I tried to hold in my early ejaculation, as if I had stressed a vein/muscle linked to ejaculation or something. As you wisely said @bigopimp98277 you can get an injury from doing just one exercise to vigorously.

Whether smoking the marijuana was linked I dont know. I had also drunk a lot of coffee the day before, which I know can contribute TEMPORARILY to turtling. This is long term though so I dont see any link. Certainly the fact that I had smoked a lot and was feeling tired led me to take the penis pill, which perhaps led me to masturbate too vigorously.

I believe it was definitely during the masturbation injury where the cause lies of my 7 day long 24/7 hard flaccid penis (except when I am urinating, which I have difficulty with: it takes ages and feels forced and uncomfortable).

This is what was leading me to believe that something had been twinged or messed with within the anatomy of my penis.

Sorry for the all the info. Its not very well written because I accidentally deleted what I had written at this point and had to write it all again.

Please keep helping me...I really appreciate it. This forum is BLOODY brilliant. I am feeling pretty fucking depressed right now but nothing compared to last week....I was actually feeling suicidal....I had gone to see the doctor and he made me feel awkward and intrusive talking about the issue (how do you think I felt, as a 19 year old guy, having to talk about my manhood!!??) and basically just sent me away just as distressed as when I entered the room. There is a real problem with doctors there...its like its a taboo subject. This forum is helping so much. Please keep it up.

Thanks,

And I just saw this on the hard flaccid penis thread on this very website...

''...I talked with a pelvic floor specialist, and she seemed to think the viagra may have caused the problem.. but that it can be cured/would go away over time.''

''Think about it, anytime you artificially force blood to stay in the penis in an unnatural way, whether by pumping, clamping, stretching etc. its like the mechanism that decides when to relax/contract gets rewired .. the body has its way of doing things , and if you force it to change, who's to say its gonna just bounce right back to normal.. may not happen that way.''

I could not get an erection due to the marijuana and cigarettes I had chain smoked, the coffee I had drunk, and how tired I was. This was natural. I wasn't supposed to have an erection after that. I forced myself to have an erection by taking the penis pill. This was probably the cause. I masturbated pretty vigorously aswell.

The one thing is that I did feel that it was caused specifically by the stress of trying to hold in my ejaculation, rather than masturbating in general.
