Edema Fluid & Doughnut bad or good?

I’ve been doing PE for years and recently just added pumping. I’ve been hanging for couples years and jelqing.

My question is:
Aside from me pumping the wrong way the first time and getting badly bruised, which I’m now doing firegoat rolls and applying arnica cream to resolve.
I managed to get a massive fluid build up which was really satisfying for sex that night especially having the doughnut.
I’ve found some interesting threads on how to achieve the fluid without the bruising/discoloration.

I’m just curious if trying to achieve and having fluid build up (doughnut) is not a bad thing? I certainly don’t want any negative effects.

Greatly would appreciate your guys advice.

Thanks!

Stats:
Started at near 7 inches.
BPEL: 8.5
BPEG: 5.6

Blisters are possible in extreme cases but for the most part it is just lymph fluid and the body reabsorbs it after a few hours.

Slight edema is probably a good thing. I believe slight edema helps “stretch” tissue cells without causing bruising.

If you do not exceed 5 hg and 20 minutes under vacuum you should not subject yourself to edema. Once a week I pump for 45 minutes at 4 hg and achieve some slight edema which I believe helps increase my girth.

Ok. Good to know
I was just worried that a by product of an edema would be nerve damage.

Just FYI to anyone who has bad bruising or discoloration.
Like the other threads have been discussing (firegoat rolls) etc.
I bought some compound Arnica oil called “Dermend”.
Awesome stuff. I had near dark dark blue brown bruises and 3 days later after applying twice a day they are fading dramatically.

I have always stayed around 20 to 30 minutes in the tube and never back to back sessions @ 5-7 HG and never had any discoloration or bruiseing. You maybe over doing it.

Thanks for the arnica oil tip, didn’t know.

I am going to try it :D

Yea the arnica stuff is awesome

So Just about to buy a pump with a gauge.

Is there a set time and pressure you can achieve an edema safely?

Excessive edema is not a recommended thing. The more often you get it, the easier it is to get, and over time can create saggy skin.

Interesting! Thanks for the advice. I’ll stay away from it.

I am not going to open up a new thread, instead i’ll ask my question “what about a large/r amount of fluid build up every time after the session” (~60-80min = pumping at 5hg plus some “pulsing pumping”)?

Sessions are 20min of jelging + 60-80min of pumping + adc for some time. I started pumping again after some time off from PE. About a month later i packed 2.5” diameter tube and looking to go to 2.75” (hate it cause of the poor seal at the base…opening too big and balls are getting in) . I stage 2.25” packs super quick…maybe around 10min mark, then the second stage 2.5 one packs around one hour mark. I wanna pack the new tube but i am wondering what about the excessive amounts of lymph build up daily? Any info about the lymph system and the valves?

Personally I like it, my girth got even bigger. I am uncut so the extra thick skin is a plus. I sometimes “trap” the fluid with my cock ring for some time.

Anyone also does this?
