How Can One Treat Brownish Discoloration With Dull Pain A Few Months After Accidentally Bruising My Penis Glans During Masturbation?
During masturbation I pressed my penis glans hard against the sheets and it got bruised a little. Then there developed brownish coloration of that part of my glans. It was not painful until after 3 months I started to a little dull feel pain in that area. Seems the skin on that pat of the glans is getting a bit looser and more coloration. What could be the problem and is it okay to take so long to heal? What can I do to get the glans back to healed condition?

Hello,
Brownish discoloration and dull pain on the penis glans is indicative that there has occurred tissue damage, and scarring. Repeated aggressive masturbation can cause trauma and scar tissue thus leading to discoloration or changes in sensation. Repeated or severe trauma can sometimes affect blood vessels, leading to chronic discoloration or discomfort.
Stop masturbation and all sexual activities till you heal, for the next 2 months or so. A break in the skin from injury can cause infection, leading to worsening discoloration and pain. Keep your private area clean. Maintain hygiene. Apply heparin creams on the area affected. It will help to reduce bruising and discoloration.
Warm compress will help. You can take acetaminophen, one SOS when pain after food. Wear loose fitting clothes. If it is taking long to heal you are advised to get clinically examined by a Urologist to rule out medical conditions like Peyronie's disease, infection, etc.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
