Title: Bruise on my penis. Can I continue my treatment?
Post by: MambaMentality on April 08, 2021, 09:53:47 PM
Do to injections from a curvature assessment, I have a big bruise on the left side of my penis. It was painful at the time, but it isn't anymore. Do you think it's ok for me to continue doing traction, heat, and VED as usual, or should I give it a rest?

So I am assuming that the injection was from inducing an erection? You didn't say how long ago this was? Two days ago or a week? I had some minor bruising when I had it done. I just let things rest for a while - about a week.

@mikel7 the injection was to induce an erection and it was on Wednesday. It was painful, bruising, & swelling at the time. Now, it is no longer painful or swelling, it's just bruised.

An injection itself to induce an erection should not be physically painful.  Depending on what they use, the erection can ache a little.

No injection to induce an erection should ever bruise you.  If it did then they did not even use compression on the injection site for 3 - 5 minutes after the injection.  Bruising is blood.  Blood spilling into penile tissue is NEVER a good thing.

@Hawk I'd say it was more of an ache than pain, my word choice made it sound a bit worse. But yeah, I'm quite worried about it, it's a big bruise. They did have me use the compression for the five minutes but it still is bruised. Not to mention that the doctor that had me do it was Dr. Mulhall, who I now realized was the doctor that had you keep injecting yourself despite negative consequences. I wish I would've known that beforehand but I can only hope for the best now. Do you think that I should call Memorial Sloan Kettering if the bruise isn't healed up after a week from the injection date?
