Discolouration and loss of sensitivity in the glans

[KFH Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close KFH]

Hi,

I've been following a rather intense extending routine that came with the extender's manual. I'm just over 7 weeks but have had to stop due to discolouration of the tip the glans. Im now on my 4th rest day and the discolouration is subsiding but what I'm more worried about is the substantial loss of sensation of the glans. I'm using the VacExtender 3 mod on my extender, so the extender is attached by suction to the glans.

I think the the problem was that I was stretching 3.3cm over my NBPEL, 1.5 cm over my BPEL and 1.3cm over my BPFSL. I started to see discolouration but probably did the most idiotic thing you could do and decided I'd push through the last few days to reach measurement day and then rest. So when I first noticed the discolouration I continued to wear the extender for a further 4 days, very stupid. I finally came to my senses and decided that I could be really damaging my penis so I stopped before measurement day. I have made close to a 0.5" gain in BPEL and I just got too greedy.

I'm just wondering what your thoughts might be, other than "you idiot!" Some sensation has returned to the glans but I'd still say I'm missing around 30-40% of what I had before wearing the extender.

Does anyone have any tips on how I might be able to encourage recovery of the nerve endings in my glans? I noticed my glans were abit dry so I've applied vaseline under the foreskin and I am placing a heatpad over my flaccid penis around 2-3 hours a day. I'm also doing kegels, 3 sets of 10 a day. I'm also planning to buy a VLC-tugger when I have some spare money as I imagine that would apply far less pressure on the glans when using it with the extender.

Any other suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Hey KFH, sorry to hear of your injury.

Other than what you are doing, I can only suggest some mild massage to encourage blood flow back into the glans for healing.

Just because the guys there have great experience with different types of vacuum attachments, I'm going to move this thread over to the devices forum. I think the crowd there may have some good advice for you.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Heat and massage as recommended should work. Encouraging erections should help too. Has your situation improved any since it occurred?

Thank you w4i! Would a 'mild massage' be similar to very light dry jelqs?

I'm fine with getting erect and I've been making sure to get erect atleast once a day. I'm still get morning wood too. I'd say I've recovered around 20-30% of my sensitivity that was lost, still missing around 30-40%. I'm uncircumcised so when I say at it's worst I could literally pinch my glans with my nails and I would barely feel it, that's how bad the loss of sensitivity was. If I pinch the glans with my nails now it's uncomfortable but still far away from where I was at before this debacle.

I'm hoping to get back the amount of sensitivity I had where brushing the glans with my finger would make my body instinctively pull back. How possible is that? Mentioning the amount of loss of sensitivity I had afew days ago, do you think the damage done to my nerve endings is permanent or do you think they will recover over time?

Thanks.

It would be a good idea for you to seek the help of a medical professional to get answers to those specific questions.
