Traction with Covid19

[markdubby]

HI all

think im very probably positive to Covid19. i just got my second jab so expect it to be a pretty smooth ride, but due to the inflammatory nature of the disease, is it a smart idea to continue traction?

thanks!

Hi
I had the same hesitation about two weeks ago and asked to the forum.

I only didn't do traction the two days after I received the results because of the same fear. Then I decided to continue as I was feeling well with no symptoms and everything was ok.

If you feel well, with no/minor symptoms I think that means you are dealing well with the covid and there is no a general inflammatory state in your whole body, so you could keep doing traction.
If you have temperature then I would not do traction at all.
I think this logic could apply to any other normal disease one can caught, for example a normal flue or cold.

Hope you go well

I'm not sure I understand ... don't men do traction during the acute stage, when we know there is inflammation in the penis?

Why would having inflammation in the body due to covid make any difference to whether or not one does traction?

Just curious.

That's a good point.

Traction has been shown to lower inflammation in the penis, such as tgf-beta, so it should only helpful as long as you aren't causing damage.
