Question : Hello, I saw a urologist today and he could not answer my question.
6 weeks ago, I used a Bathmate water penis pump and took things a bit too far. I may have used too much pressure to pump my penis. Afterwards, I saw a lot of red spots on my penis. It got better over the next few days, and I didn't think about it again until I met this urologist.
This urologist gave me a P-Shot because I was having some problems with ED. I also wanted to increase the girth of my penis. The PRP could help with both issues. A few weeks after the incident with the penis pump, I received the P Shot and the urologist who gave it to me remarked that there was some hardness on my shaft beneath the glans. To me, it doesn't feel hard, but has perhaps a more firm texture than the rest of my penis shaft.
A week after the P Shot, I noticed that my penis head was twisted and facing 20 degrees to the left. I saw the same urologist today and he told me that it was a result of the hard spot beneath the glans. He said it was scarring from the wild water pump session where I had acquired all the red spots on my penis.
He prescribed some medication that I believe is given to men suffering from Pyronie's. He said that it may soften up the hard spot and prevent it from calcifying. He said that there's no way to know if it will stay the same, get worse, or get better. Apparently the medication takes several months to take effect. It may not even work, but it's the only thing that can possibly help.
QUESTION; Until this happened, I really wanted to gradually incorporate manual penis enlargement exercise into my pumping routine. I really want to enlarge the girth of my penis naturally. It is something that has made me feel insecure my entire life. I am 44 and did not know that men could enlarge their penises with these exercises until recently. You may have heard of jelqing. There are other types of manual exercises people perform that seem to work. I want to try this because I don't want to do plastic surgery.
The doctor thinks I should discontinue all penis enlargement exercises. I am unwilling to accept that I need to end my penis enlargement career before it even started. But I also don't want to hurt my penis. I don't really understand the risks with my present condition. I plan to discontinue penis pumping for at least a month, but how do I know if I've healed? Is it possible to heal? This is unclear to me. It seems like the scarring will never go away and the medication can only soften the "hard" spot, not eliminate the scars.
This urologist didn't have any answers for me. He kept saying, "I don't know, everyone's different" to all my questions. Basically, my understanding is that there's no way to know anything about the health of my penis. There is also no way to judge how safe or dangerous penis enlargement is, given the accident I had and this hard spot below the glans. There appears to be no way to know if taking several months away from the penis pump etc. would make any difference. There doesn't appear to be a way to know whether I've done real damage to my penis or not. It could get worse or better, or stay the same. No way to know anything about my penis. No way to test it, no way to heal it. There doesn't seem to be any way of knowing anything. The doctor kept saying "I don't know, everyone's different."
Is there ever a point where an Xray can be done, and we can see if my penis is healthy, and I can move on with my penis enlargement?
I hope that you can understand my question. I just want to know if there's going to be a way, in let's say the next year, for me to understand how my penis is doing so I can pursue my goals for penis enlargement. I am willing to accept the risks, as they are presented to the average male. However, if I have done so much damage that my risk of injury is now that much greater than that of the average person, then I'd like to know. I am willing to take the normal risks, but if I have a handicap which now make me more susceptible to injury, then that's important to know. I know that some people think jelqing is bad for the penis. But I am willing to take that risk, because it's helped so many people improve their penis size. I'm afraid that my condition has made it untenable for me to pursue penis enlargement exercise. This is why I am on this site, asking these questions. I'd like to get a better idea of the risks I'm taking compared to the average person who did not have an accident with a penis water pump.
I hope that for my money, you can give me a better answer than "I don't know, everyone 's different."

Brief Answer:
Ultrasound Scanning of Penis will detect scarring on penis .
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query .
Based on the facts that you have highlighted in detail it seems that you have sustained damage to your penis while attempting pump device used to enlarge your penis .
Urologist might have examined you clinically and has opined presence scarring of the Tunica Albugenia and formation of hard plaque in Tunica Albugenia which you are not willing to accept .
The fact of scarring or presence of hard plaque can be confirmed by doing Ultrasound Scanning and Color Doppler study of Penis .
As regards your intense desire to enlarge your penis by any means and ready to take risk I would state that it is unlikely to achieve your goal at the age of 44 years more over it has been proved that all these measures have helped to enlarge size of the penis merely by an inch , Considering the disastrous complications or irreversible damage to penis resulting by using pump or devices that are marketed on online market I would suggest not to try these devices just for the sake to enlarge your penis which gives false satisfaction and cosmetic value
At the end I would state that the it is the hardness of the penis on erection and not the length that is important to get sexual satisfaction .During sexual intercourse the female vagina on arousal can accommodate hard erected penis of 4-5 inches in length without pain hence longer penis is painful to your partner and makes her devoid of getting sexual pleasure .
Get Ultrasound Scanning of Penis done to resolve your doubt.
Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions,I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.

Hello Dr. XXXXXXX
Thanks for responding to my question. Let me ask you, what is the significance of the hard plaque and scarring on the Tunica?
I assume that since this is an injury, that it can heal. Is it possible for this plaque to go away if I discontinue penis pumping?
In other words, will my penis ever return to the state it was in before I used the penis pump?
If the medication I was given (don't know the name of it yet) succeeds in loosening the plaque, could this correct the twist in the penis?
I believe you misread part of my question regarding penis size. My penis is long enough for me. I am not at all concerned about the length of my penis. Rather, I am interested in increasing the girth of my penis. Females prefer a penis of sufficient girth to create friction during sex, which both men and women find pleasurable.
Please do not misunderstand me. I am not trying to make a large penis. I simply want to increase the circumference of my penis by 5-10%. According to other men who have accomplished this, it is a very reasonable goal using the various methods including penis pumping and jelqing.
If I have "broken" my penis and cannot safely pursue natural methods of increasing penis girth, I may have to consider surgery. The safest surgeries only provide two years of a larger penis size. It is rather expensive and is not ideal for me. I would rather exercise my penis to grow it rather than use fillers, which are unnatural. I would like my penis to belong to me, and not be a fake.
I hope you understand these questions. I am perfectly happy to allow my penis enough time to heal properly and move forward with my penis girth enlargement goals in 6 months to a year, if that is what is necessary to be safe. I would be happy to wait two years, provided that I can feel confident that I can pursue my size goals safely. While I understand that jelqing and other methods carry risk of injury, there is enough information available to help people understand how to pursue their goals safely. I am willing to take that risk. However, if I have damaged my penis so that any activity like penis pumping is forever, from now until my death, impractical and dangerous for the health of my penis, then I will give up on my dreams of having a penis of sufficient circumference to please a woman.
Please understand, this is an issue of great significance to me. I am very upset with the news of my injury because my heart was set on taking the next 2-4 years and growing my penis larger. This has caused a lot of emotional pain over the course of my life. I did not know about penis pumps and jelqing until two months ago. Until yesterday, I was feeling very optimistic about my life, believing that I could grow my penis. The urologist yesterday could not answer definitively if I could, at some point in the future, proceed with my plans. This is why I am writing to you.
I would like to understand whether or not I can heal from this, and how I will know whether or not I have healed.
Thank you again for your help. I hope you can understand my questions and provide the help I am looking for.
Kind Regards, XXXXXXX

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for follow up .
I will explain the anatomy of Penis and in short about the plaque or hardness of Tunica Albugenia .
Penis is an organ having dual function and contains
1) Urethra which function as tube to pass urine .
2) Two corporal bodies called Corpora Cavernosa which contain large bundle of erectile tissues which is like a sponge and in normal circumstances are empty .When one gets aroused these erectile tissues are filled with arterial blood 12 times more than normal blood flow and simultaneous closing venous blood flow resulting into blood being trapped in erectile tissue causing Erection and making penis adequate hard to penetrate vagina and enjoy sex.These two corporal bodies are enveloped in two separate tubes of elastic sheath called as Tunica Albugenia .It is this covering( Tunica Albugenia) which gets damaged or injured while using pressure pump or Vacuum devices to enrage penis.The Tunica Albugenia once injured is replaced by a scar tissue during natural process of healing .The deposition of calcium in this scar tissue makes it hard resulting in to loss of elasticity of Tunica Albugenia and it is disparity of length of this sheath and loss of elasticity on either side causes curvature of penis .
In majority of cases this calcified plaque if not too hard gets dissolved spontaneously over a period of time frame of 12-18 months and no treatment is required .We do not advocate any treatment if the penile curvature is less than 45 degree or poses difficulty in penetration of vagina to have a intercourse .
"Less You Do" helps it to cure fast spontaneously .
There are plenty medicines being prescribed to dissolve the plaque but there is no scientific study or research being carried out by manufacturers that can prove their effectiveness and hence not approved by World Health Organization (WHO).
As regards your desire to increase girth of your penis I would state that penis is not a muscular organ (It contains erectile tissue and only one thin muscle called Bulbo Spongiosus that helps in ejaculation ) Hence it can not be developed or strengthened like other muscles in body by exercise either by jelling or pump devices more over as the age advances the girth of penis starts decreasing gradually .Hence I doubt whether you can achieve your goal by any means .
Doing Ultrasound Scanning of penis will help to define the extent of damage to Tunica Albugenia,and deposition of calcium
which helps to predict the further healing or to decide need for any active intervention (Surgery),
Thanks and Regards.
