Hello- penile shrinkage occurs because of two main causes: 1. By the buildup of plaque, known as fat, that prevents the flow of blood 2. By the buildup of inelastic scar tissue that prevents arteries from increasing in size inside the fibrous sheath of the erectile chambers. So how does penis shrinkage occur because of over masturbation? Excessive and abusive masturbation damages the various subcutaneous tissues of penis, causing both a buildup of plaque and an increase in scar tissue, two issues seen in a similar condition known as peyronie’s disease. And because the sexually exhausted body experiences an inhibited liver production and a depletion of hgh, an essential growth hormone for penile tissues, a male will experience penis shrinkage. Fortunately, it is curable.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Some people may continue to experience pain long after the fracture and soft tissues have finished healing. This is what we call chronic pain. Chronic pain may be caused by nerve damage, the development of scar tissue, aggravation of underlying arthritis, or other causes. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a treatment plan for you.

Penile curvature, also known as Peyronie’s disease, is a condition where the penis is curved when erect. It is not uncommon for teenage boys to notice some degree of curvature in their penis during puberty. However, if you feel that the curvature is worsening and causing you concern, it is essential to consult a sexologist near you. A proper diagnosis of Peyronie's disease requires a thorough physical examination to understand the degree of curvature, and the kind of treatment will be given only after a proper assessment.

Most advertised penis-enlargement methods are ineffective, and some can cause permanent damage to your penis. Here are some of the most widely promoted products and techniques: pills and lotions. These usually contain vitamins, minerals, herbs or hormones that manufacturers claim enlarge the penis. None of these products has been proved to work, and some may be harmful. Vacuum pumps. Because pumps draw blood into the penis, making it swell, they're sometimes used to treat erectile dysfunction. A vacuum pump can make a penis look larger temporarily. But using one too often or too long can damage elastic tissue in the penis, leading to less firm erections. Exercises. Sometimes called jelqing, these exercises use a hand-over-hand motion to push blood from the base to the head of the penis. Although this technique appears safer than other methods, there's no scientific proof it works, and it can lead to scar formation, pain and disfigurement. Stretching. Stretching involves attaching a stretcher or extender device — also referred to as a penile traction device — to the penis to exert gentle tension. A few things that might actually help although there's no guaranteed safe and effective way to enlarge your penis, there are a few things you can do if you're concerned about your penis size. Communicate with your partner. It may be hard to break old habits or to discuss sexual preferences with your partner. But you'll be glad you did — and you may be surprised at the spark it ignites in your sex life. Get in shape and lose the belly fat. If you're overweight and have a "beer gut, your penis might appear shorter than it is. Regular exercise can make a big difference. Better physical conditioning may not only make you look better, but also can improve strength and endurance during sex. Talk to your doctor or a counselor. Feeling unhappy about the size of your penis is common. A certified counselor, psychologist, psychiatrist or your family doctor can help. Many men feel better with reassurance that they are "normal" or with advice about how to better satisfy their partner without resorting to cosmetic penis enlargement.

Human leukocyte antigen b27 (hla-b27) is a protein located on the surface of your white blood cells. An hla-b27 test is a blood test that identifies hla-b27 proteins. Human leukocyte antigens (hlas) are proteins commonly found on white blood cells. These antigens help your immune system identify the differences between healthy body tissue and foreign substances that may cause infection. Although most hlas protect your body from harm, hla-b27 is a specific type of protein that contributes to immune system dysfunction. The presence of hla-b27 on your white blood cells can cause your immune system to attack those otherwise healthy cells. When this occurs, it can result in an autoimmune disease or immune-mediated disease, such as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis. Ankylosing spondylitis ankylosing spondylitis is a cause of back pain in adolescents and young adults. Ankylosing spondylitis is a form of chronic inflammation of the spine and the sacroiliac joints chronic inflammation in these areas causes pain and stiffness in and around the spine, including the neck, middle back, lower back, and buttocks. Over time, chronic inflammation of the spine (spondylitis) can lead to a complete cementing together (fusion) of the vertebrae, a process referred to as ankylosis. Ankylosis causes loss of mobility of the spine. Pt treatment deep breathing for lung expansion and stretching exercises to improve spine and joint mobility. Are also advised to sleep on a firm mattress and avoid the use of a pillow in order to prevent spine curvature. Aerobic exercise is generally encouraged as it promotes full expansion of the breathing muscles and opens the airways of the lungs. Home remidie physical therapy for ankylosing spondylitis includes instructions and exercises to maintain proper posture. This includes deep breathing for lung expansion and stretching exercises to improve spine and joint mobility. Since ankylosis of the spine tends to cause forward curvature (kyphosis), patients are instructed to maintain erect posture as much as possible and to perform back-extension exercises. Patients are also advised to sleep on a firm mattress and avoid the use of a pillow in order to prevent spine curvature. Ankylosing spondylitis can involve the areas where the ribs attach to the upper spine as well as the vertebral joints, thus limiting breathing capacity. Patients are instructed to maximally expand their chest frequently throughout each day to minimize this limitation. Physical therapists customize exercise programs for each individual. Swimming often can be a very beneficial form of exercise, as it avoids jarring impact of the spine. Ankylosing spondylitis need not limit an individual's involvement in athletics. People can participate in carefully chosen aerobic sports when their disease is inactive. Aerobic exercise is generally encouraged as it promotes full expansion of the breathing muscles and opens the airways of the lungs. Cigarette smoking is strongly discouraged in people with ankylosing spondylitis, as it can accelerate lung scarring and seriously aggravate breathing difficulties. Occasionally, those with severe lung disease related to ankylosing spondylitis may require oxygen supplementation and medications to improve breathing. People with ankylosing spondylitis may need to modify their activities of daily living and adjust features of the workplace. For example, workers can adjust chairs and desks for proper postures. Drivers can use wide rearview mirrors and prism glasses to compensate for the limited motion in the spine. You should check with your doctor before using compression socks for your swelling. These special socks should be properly fitted for you and your needs. Also, be sure to wear them during the day and remove them before you go to bed. Leg elevation if you stand a lot during the day, try propping your feet up or soaking them in water when you get home to help prevent swelling. Muscle relaxant: reduces muscle tension and helps relieve muscle pain and discomfort. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (also known as tens) is something which helps ease muscle pain and spasms. You can strengthen the muscles by doing tonificationie. Improving the tone of the muscles by adding either weight cuffs / sand bags which will help you to improve the strength of the muscle.

Hello- penile fibrosis is the formation of a scar on the surface of the penis. This results in a loss of elasticity of the penis and, as a consequence, peyronie's disease. It's more common in men above the age of 50 but it can appear at any age. It causes pain and in many cases, makes sexual intercourse impossible. Peyronie's disease can be completely cured and reversed by the help of ayurveda treatment, and it does not have any kind of recurrence too. Many potent herbs in ayurveda contain natural growth factors and phyto-molecules that are known to stimulate penile tissue repair and the rejuvenation process.

Hello- peyronie's disease is characterized by an extreme curving of the erect penis caused by a hard, fibrous layer of scar tissue (plaque) that has developed under the skin. When the penis grows and hardens, the scar tissue pulls the affected area to an angle, causing an unnatural bend. The plaque that is formed by the thickened layers of penile soft tissue is non-cancerous, but this condition can be painful and make sexual intercourse quite difficult. The signs and symptoms of peyronie's disease may appear overnight or develop more slowly. These may include: - a bend or curve in your penis during erection - painful erection - a thick band of hard tissue on one or more sides of your penis - indentation, or an "hourglass-shaped" penis during erection - impaired ability to obtain an erection (weak erection or impotence) - shrinking or shortening of your penis - premature ejaculation or poor orgasms there are no known firm measures in modern science except surgery that can be taken to prevent peyronie's disease. Surgical method has a high rate of recurrence and can cause unwelcome side effects, such as partial loss of erection (weak erection) or shortening of an erect penis (penis shrinkage). However, peyronie's disease can be completely cured and reversed by the help of ayurveda treatment, and it does not have any kind of recurrence too. Many potent herbs in ayurveda contain natural growth factors and phyto-molecules that are known to stimulate penile tissue repair and the rejuvenation process.
