Jelqing injury Can't get erection

I’m going to go see another doctor. A normal doctor this time, not a urologist. I’m pretty sure I have an inguinal hernia, which would explain the minor swelling I’ve been experiencing. After inhaling some rice yesterday and violently coughing for hours and continuously coughing all day today, I noticed a swollen lump that was a bit painful in my left pubic area just below my hip bone, it’s on my right side too, but not as much. My penis also seems a bit shorter while it’s erect, but it’s actually because of how swollen my pubic area is. The urologist checked me for a hernia, but i read the symptoms can come and go, and I wasn’t swollen that day when he half assidly checked me. I read that surgeries for inguinal hernias can cause permanent ED, and I’m already in a fragile state in that area from my injury, so I really hope it’s not a hernia, really hoping it’s swollen lymph nodes or something. I need to cough to get this rice out of my lungs or I could get pneumonia or something worse, but I I don’t want to or I might make the hernia or hernias even worse. The universe is just relentlessly trying to fuck me over XD. I think the hernia was caused from when I was doing a bunch of reverse kegels to combat hard flaccid back when I first injured myself.

People, you need to chill the hell out and stop thinking something is wrong with you. That’s the only thing you haven’t tried yet.

Exactly, if you’d listened to advice right at the start and left yourself alone you wouldn’t now be thinking you have a hernia, which you almost certainly don’t.

The universe? I think you’re doing a fairly good job of it yourself! I have a vision of you with your head in a bag of rice, sniffing it to see if it’s fresh, and half the bag zooming down your nose!

I maybe shouldn’t be :rolling: but I am.

XD. Don’t eat while laying on your back, I never will again. I think I got all the rice out of my lungs though.

After reading about inguinal hernia symptoms, I have like all of the symptoms of it. These lumps and minor swelling and minor pain at times definitely isn’t normal. Maybe I am just looking for stuff that could be wrong with me, but I’m almost certain these lumps were not there before and aren’t normal.

I’ve come across some information that has been a relief. I might have a hernia but I’m leaning more toward swollen lymph nodes now. Still going to see a doctor to make sure.

So I have some larger than normal veins on the left side of my penis, one is blue like a normal vein and isn’t that big, but bigger than normal and juts out even while flaccid. The other one is much bigger without any color and starts at the left underside base of my penis and then becomes less prominent as it goes up my penis. I’m also a bit swollen on the left side of my penis just under my glans, and I’m a bit swollen in the upper left side of my scrotum. I think that large colorless vein that has been worrying me is just a lymph vein. All of the places I’m experiencing swelling and tenderness are all areas where the lymphatic system is. In the penis the lymph system starts above the testicle and goes up the side underpart of the penis and then wraps around the topside of the shaft just below the glans. And in my groin I’m swollen right where a bunch of lymph nodes are located. It would make perfect sense if it’s just lymph stuff causing this stuff. Or it’s a big coincidence and I have a super thrombosed vein in my peen that could cause venous leakage, and the swelling in the top left side of my peen is from internal bleeding, and the swelling in my scrotum is thrombosed veins, and the swelling in my groin is a hernia. I hope it’s just lymph stuff.

The blue vein is probably a damaged vein though, but I don’t think it’s beyond healing at this point. Still have the red mark going up the underside of my penis, not sure if it’s a damaged vein or a damaged artery or what. I still have the mark on the top left side of my penis below my glans, I think it’s just a bruise now. My penis also curves a bit more to the left while flaccid, it’s always curved a bit to the left, but now it does a bit more. I’m still avoiding erections as much as possible, It’s pretty easy to get an erection, and I can get a full erection, but I don’t know if I can maintain a full erection for more than a few minutes, I haven’t tried.

Man, I thought everything was healing nicely, but an injury re-opened again. I got like a 20% erection and stood up and then started feeling the mild sharp tearing pain in my scrotum that I felt before. I laid down but the pain continued and I saw a weird mark on my scrotum, and my penis shriveled up. The pain stopped after I put an ice pack on it.
I noticed the red mark on the underside of my penis is a vein that continues all the way down the middle of my scrotum. The vein goes down my scrotum and you can see a blotch of red that the vein runs through which is most likely internal bleeding from this ruptured vein.
I find it really weird that I can re-open an injury just by standing up after all of this time I’ve given it to heal, and things seemed like they were getting better. There is no question now that this is a ruptured vein, but how important is this specific vein for draining blood from the penis? If I end up losing this vein, would it prevent my penis from being able to drain blood (priapism)?
Get ready, here come some more flattering flaccid injured penis pics.

Second picture is right after I had ice on it, it makes the vein more noticeable. I’m not completely sure if the red mark on my penis and the ruptured vein on my scrotum are connected but it really looks like they are connected.

If I could see anything even remotely abnormal there, I’d tell you.

Nothing amiss in those photos.

I think he’s got varicocele maybe, man just go get an ultrasound scan done it’ll answer all your questions.

Look at the red blotch in the middle of my scrotum in the first picture. That’s not nothing. I wouldn’t be worried about a little discoloration, but I felt pain in that exact spot, and there wasn’t a red blotch there before. I’m not very worried because it’s just a vein, but it’s still weird.

The red blotch on my scrotum is gone now, and I haven’t felt any pain since it happened. I’m keeping my testicles elevated as much as possible now so they don’t sag and tug on the vein.

Wear briefs for support.

I don’t think the red vein in my penis and the damaged vein in my scrotum are connected actually, it just looks like it. It makes sense that I’d have a damaged vein in my scrotum in that spot, because part of my scrotum becomes a part of my erection at the base, and I probably damaged it from squeezing too hard while jelqing.

Got examined by a doctor today, and she seemed pretty perplexed by what the lump could be in my upper groin. She said she wouldn’t rule out a hernia, but hernia’s don’t often occur in the area that I have the lump. If it was a hernia I think she would have been able to assess it with more confidence, but she felt around and examined the lump very thoroughly for a few minutes and she seemed pretty confused by it. She was straight forward with me and was like I have no idea what it is. I’m getting a CAT scan on Monday.
