Nerve damage

[derr]

[FONT=&quot]I'm certain I have been/currently going through some[/FONT][FONT=&quot] nerve damage, 10 months in at the moment it's horrible but I have been, just recently, seeing some positive signs which i hope continue. I'm going to see a urologist in a few days and I'm sure I'll have this confirmed. Anyway I found some information from online posted by certified urologists which put my mind at ease and hopefully can help put others in the same situation at ease too.

[FONT=&quot]In reference to a nerve injury caused by jelqing:

"nerve trauma may take several months & sometimes up to a year to totally return to normal Be patient, stop jelquing and you will be fine. In addition, it is essential to avoid any further significant trauma to the penis during the healing phase. It is okay to have sexual activity (masturbation and/or intercourse) but no rough sex. The use of a good quality lubricant (such as the "silk" lubricants) is advised to lessen the chance of further injury."

Also a different doctor in reference to nerve damage:

"there are sensory nerves in the penis that can be damaged & if this occurs, the sensitivity can be significantly diminished. The most common cause is in those men who try to enlarge their penis by various stretching exercises, the use of penile extenders, or the practice of "jelquing". Because of this complication, I do not recommend such methods. Penile sensory nerve damage does not usually occur with traditional methods of masturbation or sex but it can. From the history you provided, I suspect this is the mechanism in your case. When nerve damage occurs, it generally reverses itself if no further insult occurs. However, the recovery period may take a year or more."

[FONT=&quot]Specific information on nerve damage[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
I also found out that nerve damage falls into 3 categories: [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Neurotmesis[/FONT][FONT=&quot] the most severe form of nerve damage, which results in a complete loss of function and nerve continuity. It can be caused by severe bruising, tearing, or stretching of the nerve or surrounding tissue.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Axonotmesis[/FONT][FONT=&quot] a less severe form of nerve damage, mainly seen as a result of injuries where the nerve is crushed or placed under too much pressure for example me with my clamp. The axon of the nerve is disrupted, but the nerve's structural integrity remains intact. This type of injury allows for the possibility of regeneration, which can take months or years to be complete. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Neurapraxia[/FONT][FONT=&quot]is the mildest type of damage, and usually allows for complete recovery within days or months. It is usually a result of pressure on a nerve which keeps it from functioning, and blocks the transmissionof signals. Loss of blood supply may also cause neurapraxia.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]My advice from my experience so far and the great amount of time I have spent on p.e forums and the internet researching this: Go to a urologist, if not you will work yourself into a frenzy, Embarrassment isn't fatal. The penis is a very resilient organ and once the healing process is done it will be stronger. Feel free to add any information.

Good luck to anyone in the same situation.

It's just a few days ago, I experienced similar stinging pain like 'ant bites' when I touched my right side of my penis's shaft. It happened due to clamp I believe that I forgot to take off after 10-15 minutes and left it there for almost an hour. I didn't really feel anything that time. And, I believe the same evening or may be next morning, I started to feel this stinging pain when I try to shake my penis after urination. I looked all over my penis, didn't see any bruise, right tip of my penis got this pinkish-purple color though. I got so freaked out, put all anti-biotic lotion on it, and the another morning I tried to jerk-off to see if everything is normal. I felt the same slight stinging pain when I shook my penis but as I went on warming it up, got hard on and I didn't feel any pain whatsoever, after 30 minutes or so I got really strong ejaculation and felt really great. So, I decided myself there is nothing wrong with my penis and no impotence whatsoever or erectile dysfunction of any sort. But, I still felt that 'ant bites' like feeling that keep following me and the damn feeling happens only when I touch that right shaft of my penis . The discoloration is still there at the tip of my penis. I worry I didn't blow some muscle inside there due to over-clamp. Other than that, I don't feel any pain, no discomfort and any other issue during my normal regular work. So, I think I damaged my nerve or something like that and I'm feeding myself with supplement to support nerve function and oiling it slowly at the moment. Just sharing my experience with you guys,. Now, I'm determined not to do any PE up until the stingy feelings is gone.. And, for beginners, I really want to tell you not to clamp your penis, even if you clamp use timer or something of sort to take it off in time otherwise, it could cause serious effect on your nerve. I'm feeling one at the moment. This damn mistake I made, now, dunno how long, I won't be able to do PE.. damn..

I see the OP is old, but what was this caused by? Was it just jelqing or was it more advanced routines?
