Dear Dr Lin.
Thank you for this site, it has some useful info.
About 12 months ago I made the mistake of trying those jelqing exercises. I did them for a few weeks and noticed some lack of sensitivity in the penis but nothing major. Then one night I decided to masturbate vigorously using the pillow sheets as an aid ('humped the bed'). I ejaculated about 6 times that day and on the last one I felt a slight pain and then my penis shrunk up and went cold.
Since then I have all of the symptoms of a jelqing injury, including:
- Firm, flaccid penis
- No nocturnal or morning erections
- Lack of spontaneous erections (only get one when watching porn)
- Difficulty urinating/ weak urine stream
- Lack of sensation in penis shaft and glans
- Loss of sexual desire/libido
I did see some improvement when I used Gingo Biloba, but they are hard to get a hold off. I still masturbate about once a week now, which is down from the 3 times a day I did for a few years before the injury.
My GP is clueless and prescribed me Risperdal for the anxiety.
Please Dr. Has anyone recovered from this? And is it reversible? I need to know exactly what to do to heal this if I can.
Many Thanks
