Misled by online penis enlargement exercises, I feel like my penis is dislocated?
Hello, doctor.
Recently, I performed a penile enlargement exercise by using my hand to form an "OK" grip around my penis, squeezing from the base and slowly pulling upwards.
After doing this twice, I noticed it felt softer, but when I manipulated it with my hand, it became hard again.
At that time, I was able to achieve normal erection hardness and ejaculation.
However, by the evening, I found that the length of my penis when flaccid was about half of what it used to be, and I was unable to achieve an erection while watching adult films.
Today, I still notice the same condition: my penis feels shorter and lacks elasticity, and although I have sexual desire, I cannot achieve engorgement; it remains close to my scrotum and cannot lift.
I also noticed some difficulty urinating, with occasional sharp pain at the urethral opening, which seems to be slightly retracted.
I researched online and found that my symptoms resemble penile retraction, along with delayed urination.
I would like to ask: 1.
Based on the symptoms I described, is it possible that I have this condition? 2.
If so, I read that I should seek medical attention as soon as possible to avoid urethritis, which could lead to severe complications like necrosis requiring amputation.
Should I go to the emergency room? If so, how should I explain my situation? 3.
If I wait four more days to visit a major hospital, will it be too late? Will I need to undergo tests, and should I fast beforehand? I visited a small clinic, and they prescribed medication to promote blood circulation; do I need to stop taking it before the examination? 4.
The clinic's attitude was somewhat casual; they prescribed medication to promote blood circulation, but I found online that if I have this condition, it shouldn't allow the penis to engorge.
Is it okay for me to continue taking it? 5.
If surgery is indeed required for this condition, I heard that it involves suturing the penis to fix it in place.
Will this procedure allow for a complete return to my previous condition?

Hello: You should seek medical attention first.
The physician will explain the situation.
In the emergency department of a medical center, an emergency physician will assess you first and refer you to a specialist if necessary.
Since it has been a few days, it might be better to see an outpatient clinic.
I have not encountered cases of penile dislocation; it needs to be evaluated by the examining physician.
Wishing you good health.

More Info
It sounds like you are experiencing some concerning symptoms following your attempts at penis enlargement exercises. Based on your description, it is crucial to address your symptoms promptly, as they may indicate a serious condition that requires medical attention.
1. Symptoms and Possible Conditions: The symptoms you describe, such as a significant reduction in penis length, inability to achieve an erection, and discomfort during urination, could potentially indicate a condition known as penile retraction or even penile fracture, especially if there was any trauma involved during the exercises. The pain and difficulty with urination may suggest that there is some form of injury or inflammation affecting the urethra or surrounding tissues. It is essential to understand that engaging in aggressive stretching or constricting exercises can lead to vascular or structural damage, which may result in the symptoms you are experiencing.
2. Urgent Care: Given the severity of your symptoms, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If you feel that your condition is urgent, you should go to the emergency room. When you arrive, you can explain your situation by stating that you have been experiencing significant changes in penile function and discomfort, including difficulty urinating and pain. Be honest about the exercises you performed, as this information will help the medical team assess your condition accurately.
3. Timing of Medical Attention: It is better to seek medical care sooner rather than later. Delaying treatment could lead to complications, including the risk of infection or more severe damage. If you have been experiencing these symptoms for four days, it is still advisable to seek care immediately. Regarding fasting before your visit, it is generally not necessary unless specifically instructed by your healthcare provider. However, if you are undergoing certain tests, they may advise you on dietary restrictions.
4. Medication Concerns: If you have been prescribed medication to promote blood circulation, it is essential to discuss this with your healthcare provider. If there is a risk of further injury or if your symptoms indicate a serious condition, taking medications that increase blood flow to the area may not be advisable. Always inform your healthcare provider about any medications you are taking, especially if they were prescribed by another doctor.
5. Surgical Considerations: If it is determined that you have a serious injury requiring surgical intervention, the outcome will depend on the extent of the damage and the specific procedure performed. Surgical techniques can vary, and while many patients experience significant improvement, complete restoration to pre-injury status is not guaranteed. Your surgeon will discuss the potential risks and benefits of surgery with you, including the likelihood of recovery.
In summary, your symptoms warrant immediate medical evaluation. Do not hesitate to seek care, as timely intervention can significantly affect your recovery and overall health. Remember to provide your healthcare provider with a complete history of your symptoms and any treatments you have attempted.
