I Was Stretching My Penis Using Tension Device (not Too

default
Posted on Tue, 28 Jan 2020
Question: I was stretching my penis using tension device (not too much length, a inch or so below max). Then went to masturbate immediately after. Since then I have two symptoms (happened 4 weeks ago)

-trouble maintaining erection during masturbation or sex EVERY TIME
-in the right side base of my penis, slightly numb.

Didn't think anything of it when it happened. No pain, but did immediately notice that weird numb sensation on right bottom of penis. Thought nothing of it. In fact, kept stretching in the coming weeks. Not an anxiety by-product because wasn't worried about until 3 days ago. Now very worried I damaged it. Is this permanent? Can I do need to anything to heal fast?

Brief Answer:
Numbness could be due to trivial injury to nerve

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query .

Based on the facts that yu have posted the numbness at the base of the penis that you have following using stretching device to lengthen the penis is mostly due to trivial injury to nerve caused during stretching .

Recovery of a nerve injury is very slow and takes 3-4 months time .nd there is no specific measures or medications are available for fast recovery .

Using such devices are unwarranted for and may cause permanent damage to the penis .Hence I would advice you to refrain from using these devices who have no scientific data to prove their usefulness .

1. I forgot to add that I noticed the glands of penis when flaccid are cold to touch. Not sure if that changes anything.

2. In terms of the temperature, I notice that the right side of my penis (side where the numb spot is) is cooler than the left side. Is that not cause for concern?

3. Is it possible I have a venous leak? I seem to have the symptoms.

Thank you

Nothing to be worried about

Hello
Thanks for follow up
Glans Penis in flacid state is always cool

Minor temperature difference in different parts of penis has no significance

There is no possibility of venous leak . One would not get erection if has venous leak .
