Injury from hanging?

Hey guys,

I am posting this here because I am wondering whether anyone else hanging has had this issue.
Essentially right now there is some light bruising around the urethral opening on the head of my penis and right below it, is a little eye shaped flesh colored raised bump. I am wondering if this could be a burst blood vessel but it is not dark red/purple. The reason I ask is because the day before yesterday I tried hanging too much weight off my member and I am wondering if it is just too much pressure. *Any* ideas would be appreciated since I am would like to know what is going on.
As for how long it has been there, I think I have had it before but I am not sure and it doesn’t hurt to the touch. Thanks in advance!

Tom,

I think I may have had something similar.It may be a build up of lymphatic fluid.

Check out the thread on “Problems with Hanging/Sets” (Sorry I don’t know how to paste the link in the reply!!)

Mine seem to go away the next day.

Nice to know I am not the only one in the PE world to have this. I was hoping Bib or Luv would not come on and say “Hmm, I read about this once in an archaic manual about PE. The only thing you can do is to cut of the first 1/2” of your penis and try to do foreskin restoration.” Or maybe even; “Hmm, you still wanted that penis?”

I did check that thread and I am hoping that I was just wrapping too tightly the past few days. Good info in there.

Tom,

I get it occasionally but I couldn’t tell you why: A mild, painless bruise about 1/8” around the urethral opening. Like you, my initial fear was that it was permanent but a few days off has always allowed it to fade. It shows up at odd times for reasons that aren’t clear, and is the only negative effect of hanging I have experienced so far.

Cap,

I am curious. Did you ever get any swelling or bumps too? Just wanted to know if these are two different problems or can be attributed to the same one. I read your post about getting erect between hanging sets and I am wondering if there is already swelling will getting erect help to clear that or is too late? Thanks again Cap.

From my go at it: Brusing on the tip of the head happens when there is too much blood pressure,the capillaries burst. The swelling I get is from fluid buildup,I used to get this more often. As time as passed, these lessened with me because of the conditioning.

Tom,
The only perceptible swelling I have gotten has been minor fluid buildup ahead of the hanger but has never affected my glans. The post about erections between sets had to do with easing away pockets of fluid that gather right under the skin of the shaft by using internal pressure and natural skin stretch.
I really cannot speak to swelling on the glans and how to address that because I have never experienced it.
I have noticed that sometimes when taking a piss between sets I can have an erratic stream - which I think indicates swelling of the glans/urethra even though it is not visibly evident.
This too, like the mild bruising has never lasted very long and is usually corrected a few hours after my routine.

I think all of this is more the result of accumulation than of incorrect technique/settings. I hang a lot but I hang relatively light weight and I guess something has to give. I simply view it as the price of doing business and continue to keep my eyes open for signs of real trouble.

Thanks for the info guys. I am starting to think that if there is no pain from the swelling and the bruising is subsided that I should continue to hang albeit lighter than what caused this in the first place. I guess I am just wondering whether this bump has always just been there because it is not going away but definitely does not look like a blood blister. I guess if I am that worried I should see a doc about it. Just want to avoid that unpleasantly if possible.

Doctor: “What seems to be the problem?”

Me: “Well I was hanging 11 or 12 pounds off my dick and I was wondering what this little bump… er doc are you okay? Someone better get the nurse in here! Yeah that one over there with the nice legs.” :)

Not trying to beat a dead horse, but 5 days off of PE and I still have not seen a real shrinkage in the bump. All the bruising is gone but I am comtemplating trying to pop it or some dangerous nonsense like that, going to the doctor is not a possiblity right now. I am just wondering how long this thing is going to be sitting here making faces at me. (It usually only does that when standing in the sun for several hours.)

My kingdom for a digital camera. :D
