Question Title: masturbation injuries

Forum: The Urology Forum
Topic: Sexual Dysfunction


I used to masturbate when I was younger by rubbing my penis against my sheets because that was the only way i could. It caused some "scar" tissue to form it is red and hasn't healed up in 10 years . It is very painful amd I haven't been able to have a sex life because of it. All the doctors say there is'nt anything they can do about it, an operation would just cause more scar tissue. I also had some problems with a circumscion when I was younger. Do you have any ideas?

Dear Jay,
I don’t have the ability to evaluate you so it is very difficult to comment on your situation. You should make sure that you were seen by a urologist or a plastic surgeon before you give up hope about ever having a sex life again. I think your only solution would be some type of cosmetic procedure but again without examining you I really can’t comment. If the area on the penis is hard like a scar, there are creams that you can obtain from a dermatologist to soften the scared area.
Again, I have no other choice but to believe those who have examined you. I’m sure you are frustrated but don’t give up just yet.
