Masturbation causing penile damage.

[westside]

Propecia caused me to get a venous leak so my erections are only half of what they should be. That was 4 years ago. Since then I’ve had three instances of permanent damage after masturbation. A few days ago I used a cock ring for only a minute to try and prevent the venous leak and it has caused devastating damage (impotence). It basically crushed the base and now I get no blood flow at all. The worst part has been the extra emotional turmoil this has caused. It’s excruciating. I saw a post on this board sometime earlier about a Dr who has a theory that masturbation as the potential to be causing extra damage to ourselves. Does anyone have a recollection of that post? Have any of you experienced anything like this? Any treatment ideas or information?

Thanks for reading.

well it sounds like you just proved the theory in what you are saying. dude, stop masturbating completely and start eating healthy… these things are reversible. go start swimming or go to a physical therapist or something man. 99% of the people on this forum don’t know what they are talking about… don’t come here looking for answers because all you will hear is a bunch of theories from a bunch of people in the same shape as you. YOU are your own investigator and you are starting to solve the puzzle by realizing masturbating is causing something. don’t stop here… keep going, and FIND answers yourself to heal yourself. eating healthy should be your first start. good luck man.

Thx for reading and replying, but I stopped drinking alcohol and caffeine years ago when I was diagnosed with pfs. I exercise and eat a paleo diet. This isn’t a temporary issue that can be resolved with diet and lifestyle. This is a separate issue. This is about permanent tissue damage that has been caused. I remember reading a study by a Dr posted on this form discussing this very problem.
