[Fubar Penis]

I started traction therapy again and I used it about two days ago. I have a serious problem with a hard flaccid penis. I try to warm it up and make the softter before using the stretcher and keep a heating pad on top of my penis in the stretcher on low. I was starting slow and only used it for about 30 minutes one time for two days on a very low tension, barely any. Now my penis is kind of red and burns throughout the whole penis and my rectum burns. You think I damaged my penis again? What am I doing wrong with the stretcher you think? Is it possible to reinjure myself just being in it for 30 minutes for two days on low tension? Didn't hurt while I was in it. I've been burning for about one week now in both my penis and rectum. I have oral thrush right now too. You think it could be a yeast or candida infection that is just coincidental to using my stretcher? I don't use the noose either. I had to use foam and Velcro and barely put pressure on it. I hear of so many people here with success stories from the stretcher but I can't seem to use mine without having burning issues afterwards. I worry about using it since I suffer from hard flaccid. Anyone else here get hard flaccid symptoms?

Hello, are you cleaning your stretching device? Are you hygienic? (Sorry to ask these questions if you are generally a clean person. )
It is possible to get infections from devices if they are not cleaned. I have seen cases on television and know of 1 person who thinks he caught ghonorhea from a penis pump. Clean them with antiseptic mix like Dettol. Make sure you read the instructions to mix up. I have a spray bottle of antiseptic cleaner and use it after every session.
More urgently if you have a burning sensation. Visit your local clap clinic. To be sure you don't need treatment. It's embarrassing but you need to get well.

It sounds like you may have picked up a bug.

I'd second mrman-go see a doc as it sounds like something unrelated to traction.
