What Causes Erectile Dysfunction After Using The Jelquing Technique?

Posted on Mon, 2 Mar 2015

Question: Hello, the quality of my erection has dropped gradually over the last 3 years, to the point where I'm worried. I'm healthy and 43 years old. It started when I tried the size growing-exercise known as jelquing. I did this for a couple weeks. Once, after a session 3 years ago, I noticed a strange lump appeared at the top dorsal side near the base of my penis. It's only there when I have an erection. This is when the drop of my quality erection started. I've seen 2 urologists, and they both told me it's just my age, and give me scrips for Viagra; but I don't think the quality of my erection would drop like that just because I hit 40 years old. I think I have some dorsal nerve/artery blockage and/or nerve damage. Is there a caring doctor that can help me evaluate this, or at least allow some ultrasounds/MRI to understand the damage, rather than just give me scrips for Viagra. The Viagra works okay, but it does seem that its effectiveness is dropping gradually. Thank you.

Thank you for your answer, but you are responding with the typical response for ED. I've already met with 2 urologists. I don't have diabetes, no hypertension, no stress that I can't handle, no relationship problems. I meditate every day and exercise regularly and am in great health. Do you know what jelqing is? If not, can you google it, because it is important factor in my case. I know that this is a vascular problem related to blood flow and the lump on my dorsal side base. I believe there is a blockage or nerve damage, but the urologists don't want to evaluate that. They just want to give me Viagra and send me away. Meanwhile the damage is getting worse and I fear that my sexual function may be gone in a few years unless something is done. Do you know a urologist or neurologist that cZn help me evaluate the blood flow and artery vein health properly? Thank you for your help. Please read my details carefully, and thank you.

Brief Answer:
Get Color Doppler Ultrasound Scanning of Penis done

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for feedback.

I have answered your query as a part of routine questionnaire that we ask to the patient when he comes to us with problem of ED.

As regards efficacy of jelquing I would like to state that it has not been proved scientifically that it helps to improve the length of penis and erection .

The lump that you have at the base of the penis is mostly due to injury to one of the tributary of dorsal vein of penis due to vigorous handling of penis while doing jelquing resulting into formation of hematoma which probably has calcified to form a hard lump. .

The test Color Doppler Ultrasound Scanning of Penis which I have suggested earlier gives status of blood circulation to penis and will give detail information about the arterial blood flow or venous circulation of penis .

Thanks and Regards.
