VED Injury

[jj21]

I seem to have injured myself using the VED.. IT feels like skin from the scrotum has come up to the base of the penis and swollen ? Not sure how else to describe it?

Could this be a hernia? or an inflamed vein?

Have taken a break from VED for 2 weeks now which has set me back a lot.

I now also have pain and dribble after peeing which was much better prior to this incident.

Aany idea what this is? And whether its safe to continue yet?

Thanks,
J

Sounds like a bit of a donut effect. It's not a big deal. To speed up recovery you can use a penis ring band to compress the skin and push out the lymph fluid. I do this every day after vacuum traction because it swells up my penis skin. After VED the swelling goes away after a few hours.

I've had this swelling for a while. Been trying ibuprofen and cold water to the area... Could you please elaborate on your method? It's causing a flaccid bend to the left due to the sweeping at right safe base. When erect it seems to be less visible.

Thanks

So for me my swelling is in the shaft of the penis. I just place a silicon sleeve over the swollen are for no more than 30 minutes at a time and it goes away. This is the type of sleeve i use: https://lghangerllc.com/product/1-0-silicon-sleeve-quality-8-length/

This is where i got the idea from: L.G. Hanger, LLC: Edema-Swelling of the Glands

Now i'm not sure if this is exactly what's happening to you. Perhaps a picture can help. But from the sounds of it you can just place a sillicon sleeve over the base of the penis to push out the lymph fluid.

Basically you want to compress the skin so that it goes away.

What kind of VED are you using? Does it have a gauge or limiter so that you know you're not applying too much vacuum?

Thanks for your reply, it's the soma erect I think with the 3 cylinder - the expensive one.

I'll look into the silicon gauge, I'm in aus n shipping etc is bad here cause of covid - could you suggest any alternative ? Is it possible to try this with hands ? Thanks again.
