bathmate injury!

its my first proper injury! after using the Bathmate twice (once in the morning and then again in the afternoon) on the sunday, my left nut swollen out and was in so much pain on the monday!
i am putting it down to the Bathmate because that is the only thing that effects my sack because the Bathmate pulls part of my sack inside the tube as well as the veins in the sack, doctor just gave me some tablets and my nut still hurts a bit today but is defo on its way to full recovery!
will say as well that my hanger has left me with 2 bruises that are just not going, 1 is barly see-able, the other is about half inch long and quite dark!

so i have came to the conclusion from both these injuries that i am very sad to say but that is going to be the last time i use my hanger, pump, and Bathmate because i am scared of further injuries!

i am going to just stick with doing manual work, jelqs, clamping and stretches, maybe some SS, and a ads! just hope it is enough to keep the gains coming! routines required???

p.s. i am not knocking the Bathmate, i think it is an amazing peice of equipment!

That stinks! I wonder how this type of injury could happen? Did the doctor have any ideas?

Brit, sory to hear about the injury. i stated in another thread how to avoid ths: TIE YOUR BALLS OFF WITH A HAIR BAND OR HAIR RUBBER BAND(TO AVOID CHAFING) BEORE ENTERING THE Bathmate.


this has worked for me every time. also, when entering the chamber, i have found it easier to do when ERECT. lastly and equally important, position the bottom of the Bathmates rubber edge as close to the bely of your shaft as possible, this will give a clear delineation between your penis and scrotum and help(along with rubber-banding) keep the testicles out of the chamber.

hope this helps.

DLD - no the doctor did not say any thing, all he said was that my testicle is inflammed! but from what i could feel the tubes/pipes in my sack they got sucked up in the tube and was ovously getting pumped, and when i felt them when my testicle was inflammed they felt a lot bigger and like there was a build up of either blood or fluid!

SAS - i have tried putting the Bathmate further up so it is further off my sack but i dont get a air tight suction, if i do attempt to use it again il give the hair band trick a go! but for now i am just going to stick with manuals!

cheers

Hey there. i can definitely relate to this problem. i could never use th Bathmate for more than 1 day, everytime i used it I would have this uncomfortable feeling and sensitivity in my scrotum, it went to even having and infection where my testicles where swollen so much had to take antibiotics. i did get the problem of the testicles getting to close to the chamber and will try the rubber band technic described in this thread we'll see but result wise i do get good girth so it does what it suppose to do. i just wanna to find out what im doing wrong.

After one week, my balls were hanging quite low, more than usual for sure. Then I woke up with a sharp/bad pain in my groin area. Hurt like a son of a gun. I couldn't even sit down. It was stand or lay down. Neither felt that good. I actually missed two days of work from it. I have a doctors appointment in two days. I don't know if it was the pushing against my self to keep the suction going, or if it was the suction itself, but man the pain was bad. No my balls didn't suck up into the Bathmate. Those things are big and hang on the lower side. I'm pondering whether to return it, or try again in a few weeks when I'm recovered but with minimal usage in minutes and pumps.

Those injuries sound similar to a injury I had when I was younger and working on a loading dock. I attempted to pick up a very heavy box and my bladder was full and in turn pulled urine out and forced it into a that area causing a infection in my testicle. They were swolen and very painful. The name of it is epididymitis.

Yes I realize this is my first post, usually just lurk/read. Hate to revive a 10 mon old thread, but here's my experience. I "discovered jelqing/manual stretching back in '00. Did that for a maniac for like 6 months, no results. From then on pretty much only did it if I had a date or knew I was gonna get some. Received BM Oct 22. First week I did 5 days of 5 min. sessions timed with a stopwatch app (took Tues and Sat off).

Nov 5th I went to 2-5 min sessions. Felt like a really long time. Nov 12 had tons of discomfort after. About 10 hrs later my left nut was the size of an apple. My balls were never sucked in. It was the scrotal skin between the base of the shaft, and top of the testes. There is a lot of stuff in there you don't wanna mess with. Nov 15 went to convenient care, the DR there was like "I can check some basic stuff but I'm gonna refer you to the ER for an ultrasound". Basically it showed the actual testicle is fine, but everything around it is swollen. They told me Ibuprofen, wear a jock, L-Arginine to help circulation, warm compresses. Consult with a urologist Nov 18 scheduled a follow up ultrasound Dec 9th. This fucking sucks. Everything around where I live is out of network with a 5K deductible. The ER visit and ultrasound alone was $1500. I'm about to ask them to drain it, or cut the fucker off and give me TRT.
