Injury persisting almost 1 year
First of all, I apologize for posting this here. I know this is the wrong forum for injuries, but I’ve been putting up with this for over a year and I just officially joined the site. I need advice.
I started browsing this website in fall of 2015 and promptly started the newbie routine. I ramped up my jelqing way too fast, and was jelqing at 90% erection within the first six months. Needless to say, I hurt myself. I had symptoms similar to a thrombosed dorsal vein on the left side of my penis. The hardness subsided within weeks, but the veins retained a swollen look, and there were frequent itching and burning sensations. This has continued for 10 months with only moderate improvement. The major change is that the itching and irritation seem to have moved from the mid-shaft down to the base and scrotum area. Now the left side of my scrotum itches frequently.
Masturbation and sex aren’t painful, per se, but my penis is noticeably irritated after sexual activity. I am desperate to restart PE (its been almost a year) but I’m scared. I actively avoid having too much sex with my girlfriend in hopes that it will improve. I masturbate two or three times a week, but very gently. What should I do? It seems like seeing a urologist would be futile, but the toll this injury has taken on my self confidence and sex life is becoming too much. Will I ever heal? Has anyone else here experienced a similar injury of this duration? Will complete abstinence from masturbation make a difference, and are there any medications or supplements or techniques I could employ? I’m willing to try almost anything to regain full use of my penis (PE and all). Please help!
