Possible Tissue Death? Please Help.

I was wearing 4 golf weights all day with a stretchy traction wrap to keep them on. I’ve been doing this for months on switching it up a homemade ADS. These weights can’t total more than 2 lbs. At the most, and I give my unit a minute to breathe every time I piss.

Well after work I unwrapped and pulled the weights off and noticed probably the worst edema I’ve ever had. It didn’t look much darker than normal so I didn’t think much of it. Just started driving home and that’s when the pain started setting in. I would say it was moderately severe pain concentrated in my penis and I was growing extremely concerned.. I kept trying to look at it when stopped but could really see much except swelling. When I got home I immediately checked myself over and noticed I’ve got a decent size section of light purple discoloring and part of that is even darker.. This is at the center of the swelling where it is most raised. My worries only worsened. I decided to jump in a hot shower and let the water run over me for about 20 minutes. The pain finally began decreasing but it’s still aching and discolored.. I’ve had an ice pack on it for several minutes and am switching between this and my heat lamp now.

I’m pretty panicked right now as I’ve heard some horror stories of necrosis and tissue death. Anyone experience similar and am I going to recover or have I just caused sever nerve damage and possibly worse?:

If you’re that concerned, get to the doctor now!

It doesn’t appear as bad in these pictures. I’ll try to take a better one.

Also I haven’t completely lost feeling in this area but I think the response time to the cold from the ice pack is more delayed compared to the rest of my shaft. That could be the thick swelling causing that but I’m scared I’ve damaged cells and nerves. I’ve never had discoloration like this. I’ve always taken great care to watch for that.

Did you see my pictures? I don’t want to see a doctor if I’m just being paranoid.. But also I’m not even sure what to do if I needed to.. Urgent care? Certainly this isn’t a 911 scenario.. Plus that ambulance ride is several grand isn’t it?

Sorry I’m a bit anxious right now.. Who would a moderator/administrator be who could allow me upload a video or better pictures?

You should really go to a doctor.

Drive yourself. Better safe than sorry.

I just saw the pictures. Get to the doctor.

Who do I see? A urologist? How do I get in somewhere without an appointment?

I’m sorry I never seek medical help so I’m not even sure what to do.. Do I just go to an urgent care facility?

If you don’t have a family doctor that you see, yes, go to the emergency room at a hospital, open 24 hours, but will cost more money. If you think it can wait until morning, then go to your nearest medical center, they usually open at 8:00 am.

That’s the thing.. I don’t know if I should hold out or not. The pain has mostly subsided but still pretty swollen and discoloration is unchanged. And that’s the part troubling me. It’s pretty dark.. Not like black but a grayish purple maybe? My shady is fairly medium light brown so that might be why I see grayish. It’s not like dark plum purple but certainly not like lavender or magenta. I can still feel touch it seems like. I just don’t know if this gets worse because I’ve already started tissue death or if it’s only going to improve from here as the body is sending new cells and nutrients and whatnot to heal the injury.

Just drive to any reputable urgent care. Most have nurse-practitioners or maybe doctors on staff. They can do what a hospital will do: Make a first, general assessment of your condition. It’s not a big deal; you can probably even walk right in.

I think it is just a bad bruise. I don’t think you will be doing anything tonight, so see how it looks and feels in the morning. A bruise like that will stick around for quite awhile, but should start to show some improvement in a couple of days. If it gets worse, then go to one of those urgent care facilities.

I don’t think I have to tell you this, but for the future don’t ever repeat what you did to cause this. Take it easy on your penis cuz you only have one.

Even if this is not so serious, you should go to a doctor, at least tomorrow morning.

There are some medicines to improve blood flow, like penthoxifilin, that can help on this.

Well I ended up going to an urgent care. I explained what happened and a doctor look me over and said I should be fine. It’s just bruising like gprent said and I myself was half believing that (half forcing myself too haha). She said I shouldn’t have to worry about any tissue lose or surgery provided I allow it to heal properly. She also informed me I may get some scar tissue/collagen build up from this.. Maybe not but now in the back of my mind I’m thinking great, possible Peyronies or if not that, a problem impossible roadblock to any growth.. That’s got me thinking.. I’ve always been worried about building scar tissue through PE but how easy is it? I would’ve thought tissues would need to be cut or something, I didn’t think just bruising or even cutting off circulation like I’ve done (I think?) would be enough to accumulate scar tissue.. But if that happens.. Then what? Did I just fuck up my entire journey?. Does/has anyone on here been able to make any gains with scar tissue in their penis? Is that even possible?. I read somewhere about the possibility of breaking up scar tissue but I have my doubts about how realistic that is..

The other problem I have is explaining to my girlfriend what the hell I’ve done.. We share our locations so she likely would’ve seen I was at urgent care even if I didn’t tell her but she called me while I was driving there anyway and I told her. I hate lying and she hates lies too. But of course she asked if I was okay and why I was going. I told her a bruise and she had questions and I just wasn’t answering them.. Then I went in to see the doc. So how have any of you fine gents been able to explain dick bruising to your partner?. I really don’t want to tell her about my PE endeavors as a lot of the reason behind it for me is because she’s told me she had a guy once who was “fucking huge” and she thought her “vagina was gonna break”. Crushed me when she said that lol. It’s been 7 months and I haven’t gone a day without thinking about those words.. But yeah I really really don’t want her to find out.. What am I supposed to do?? The doctor also told me no sex for two weeks.. That’s gonna go over well.

I’ve royally screwed myself and am feeling pretty damn down right now. Thankful it’s not worse but still.. Created an issue in my relationship that I feel the need to lie about, possible scar tissue, and can’t even workout for who knows how long. Doc says two weeks. Maybe it won’t be that long but after nearly a year of no gains and in fact maybe even some lost?. Now this.

One of the worst parts is I probably look like an idiot in this community now too. Only a handful of posts and somehow I managed to mess my tool up pretty bad doing something that seems so simple.

I wasn’t even doing overly ambitious! I had 4 golf weights on and then a wrap around the lower half of the shaft to keep them on. I’ve been doing this for almost a year now and I know other guys wear golf weights all day too.. Where did I go wrong? I mean relatively speaking I’m newish to PE but kind of not. I’m a pretty intelligible guy and do my research. I’m very careful and wonder if that’s part of why I haven’t gained? And yet somehow I have a swollen grape on my dick now. The only thing I can think of is maybe I had it wrapped too long at the end of the day? I normally unwrap to let him breathe when I piss. That’s probably a good 2-3 hours at a time of hanging with weights while traction wrapping. Maybe longer sometimes. Did I just not check and soon enough? I didn’t feel any numbness, tingling, I don’t think it was very cold to the touch either.. And mind you these can’t be more than around 2 pounds.
