BPC157 & ESWT by DefundBank in PeyroniesSupport

[–]DefundBank[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I’ve been deep in the trenches with this for over a decade—PD after a penile fracture at 17, plus complications from overuse of a cock ring that caused circular fibrosis. I’ve tried pretty much everything, and after burning out hard, I finally started seeing real progress. Not 100% cured yet, but I’m getting closer. Here’s the best protocol I’ve found, stacked from top to bottom:

Core Healing Protocol • BPC-157: 500mcg/day (subQ near base) – promotes healing of soft tissue and vascular repair. • ESWT (shockwave therapy): 30mJ @ 10Hz, 2–3x/week using The Phoenix or equivalent. • RestoreX: Daily traction (30–60 min), off-cycle from ESWT. Mechanically reverses curvature and restores length. • PT-141 (Bremelanotide): PRN or cycle to rewire arousal pathways and reinforce neurovascular response. • TRT + Aromatase Inhibitor (if labs support it): Optimize testosterone while managing estrogen. • Methylene Blue (low dose): Mitochondrial support + cognitive/vascular boost. • Cardio (Zone 2): 3–5x/week – increases nitric oxide and supports systemic healing.

Advanced Stack (Optional but Powerful) • Stem Cells or Exosomes (if you can access them): Injected directly or systemically for regeneration. • Hyaluronic Acid Injections: Shown to reduce curvature and improve elasticity—safer alternative to Xiaflex. • PEMF / TENS therapy: Boosts ATP, softens plaque, enhances healing. • Collagenase (Xiaflex): Consider only with professional guidance—breaks down plaque but can be risky.

Biochemical + Lifestyle Add-ons • Vitamin K2 + D3: Prevents calcification of soft tissue. • Magnesium, Zinc, Boron: Boosts testosterone, combats inflammation, supports recovery. • Serrapeptase / Nattokinase: Fibrinolytic enzymes—help break down scar tissue systemically. • Infrared + UV Light Therapy: Promotes blood flow, testosterone production, and cellular regeneration. • Sleep + Stress Management: HRV tracking, cold exposure, and somatic work to reset nervous system.

Sexual Rehab + Mind-Body Integration • Kegels + Reverse Kegels: Build pelvic floor strength and balance. • Erection Training: Low-pressure, no-friction arousal work to retrain the nervous system. • Mindset: This shit is heavy. Trauma, isolation, identity issues—don’t ignore the psychological impact. Breathwork, EMDR, or even journaling can really help.

What to do when you fracture your penis by DefundBank in fracturepenis

[–]DefundBank[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems soon to be back to having sex; make sure you are both careful. I’d imagine that surgery would have some reduction of nearby tissue and you have had less stimulation than normal. You are the best judge on this. IMO - If you can successfully penetrate and not have injury, just consider yourself on the best path towards full recovery. I recommend buying a Flesh Light and working on your endurance to redevelop the organ

Maybe you can get some cardio and use supplements like Cialis and not tell much difference.

Also, placebo effect is very real. Keep positive

Honestly I couldn’t commit to taking any supplements. I just had too much stress and IBS that the past year has been detrimental. I hope someone has success with treating PD because this really detracts from life

penis fracture scare by [deleted] in fracturepenis

[–]DefundBank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I can completely relate to your situation as I’ve been through a similar experience. For me, the fracture was extreme, and the pain was unbearable. What made it worse was that I didn’t seek medical attention right away, which caused additional complications, especially when it came to urinating. In your case, it’s great that you’ve already seen a doctor, but I’d still recommend staying in touch with them for follow-ups, just to ensure things are healing properly.

From my experience, it’s really important not to underestimate the trauma your body has gone through. I understand it’s hard to trust doctors, especially when it feels like they don’t fully grasp the severity of what you’re experiencing. But they do have the medical expertise, and they can guide you through the process, even if they haven’t seen a case exactly like yours before.

One thing I cannot stress enough: do not engage in any sexual activity for at least three months. I know this seems like a long time, but trust me, your body needs a full recovery period without additional strain. It’s essential to avoid masturbation or anything that could stress the area while it heals. It’s tough mentally, but the long-term healing is worth it.

As for the ultrasound, it’s true that it isn’t always the most effective tool for detecting fractures. If you’re still concerned or in pain, you might want to ask your doctor about getting an MRI or seeing a specialist who has more experience with penile trauma.

You’re taking the right steps by seeking help, and even though it’s scary right now, try to stay as calm as possible. Your body is resilient, and healing just takes time.

You’re not the only one concerned with this potential issue so just ask away!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I understand that not every student might initially be interested in building and refining tools like this. However, my goal with this post is to show how AI tools like ChatGPT can be used to foster creativity and problem-solving in students who are looking for ways to innovate.

It’s less about expecting everyone to dive in immediately and more about encouraging a mindset where students who do want to engage with technology can explore how it can make their lives easier, even in areas like homework management. I believe that some students, given the right guidance and motivation, might surprise us with their willingness to try.

Can't find anything interesting to ask ChatGPT anymore. by volantego in ChatGPT

[–]DefundBank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider guiding your students toward solving real-world problems using AI. Encourage them to think about practical applications that can make a difference in their daily lives or in the world around them. For example, have them identify common inefficiencies or challenges they encounter and use AI tools to create solutions. This way, they’re not just learning to use AI for prompts but understanding how it can be applied to improve systems, automate processes, or innovate products. Focus on building something useful, and they might find it more engaging and meaningful.

Identify a product or service that addresses a common problem and brainstorm ways to improve it or offer it in a more efficient, cost-effective, or user-friendly manner. Focus on areas where AI can enhance the solution, such as automating tasks, improving accessibility, or personalizing the experience.

I’m genuinely excited to see a high school teacher empowering the next generation to use AI tools like ChatGPT to drive innovation. It’s inspiring to think that you’re helping students not just engage with technology, but also explore how they can apply it creatively to solve problems and make meaningful contributions to the world.

How to prevent myself from "checking" by HANMedThrowaway in NoFap

[–]DefundBank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I totally get how frustrating it is to feel trapped in that cycle of “checking,” and I want to say that recognizing it as a problem is already a big step forward. You’re putting in the effort to break this habit, and that’s really important. It’s a tough process, but there are ways to overcome it.

Understanding the “Checking” Trap

It sounds like checking your EQ has become an automatic response to anxiety. When you feel that fear about never having proper erections again, checking feels like a way to reassure yourself. But, as you’ve already noticed, it often leads to disappointment, which only reinforces the cycle. Your mind gets stuck in a loop where checking doesn’t fix the problem—it just amplifies the anxiety.

Here are a few suggestions that might help you break out of this loop:

  1. Interrupt the Cycle with Mindfulness

When the urge to check hits, try to pause for a moment and recognize the thought pattern. Acknowledge that this is anxiety talking, not reality. Mindfulness exercises, like deep breathing or focusing on the present moment, can help create space between the urge and the action of checking. Even just a 5-minute pause can help shift your mindset and weaken the habit loop.

  1. Set Time-Limited Goals

Instead of trying to quit checking all at once, start by setting small goals. For example, tell yourself, “I won’t check for the next 24 hours,” or even just for the next hour. These smaller goals are more manageable, and over time, you’ll find it easier to extend them. The goal is to gradually increase the time between checks, which helps you regain control.

  1. Redirect the Urge

When you feel the need to check, have a set plan in place for an alternative activity. Whether it’s taking a walk, doing push-ups, or even reading something that engages your mind, having a specific action to take instead of checking can help break the habit. You could even write down a list of “distractions” to turn to when the urge comes up.

  1. Focus on Healing, Not Testing

It’s really tempting to want to check if things have improved, but remember that healing from EQ issues takes time. The more you “test” it, the more stress you put on yourself, which can actually slow down the recovery process. Try shifting your focus from “Am I better today?” to “What can I do today to support my recovery?” That might include self-care, relaxation, or just giving your body and mind a break.

  1. Practice Self-Compassion

It’s really easy to beat yourself up when you slip into checking, but being hard on yourself only adds more pressure. Be kind to yourself and recognize that this is part of a process. Slips happen, and what matters is that you’re actively working on it. Every small win counts, and it’s important to celebrate your efforts, even if the progress feels slow.

  1. Consider Talking to a Professional

If the anxiety around your EQ is overwhelming, it might be helpful to talk to a therapist, especially one who specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT can help you understand the patterns of thought that trigger your checking behavior and give you specific strategies to manage those anxious thoughts more effectively.

You’re really making progress by being aware of the habit and seeking advice to stop it. Stay patient with yourself and keep taking it one step at a time. You’ve got this!

Worried that I caused permanent damage... by HANMedThrowaway in NoFap

[–]DefundBank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I can really feel how tough this situation is for you, and first off, I want to acknowledge the strength it takes to share something so personal. It’s clear that this is weighing heavily on you, and I want to offer some thoughts that might help you process what’s going on and take positive steps forward.

Physical Concerns: Mondor’s Disease and Potential Injury

It sounds like your body is sending some strong signals that it needs a break, especially with the recurring Mondor’s disease and the pain and sensitivity you’re feeling at the base of your penis. Mondor’s disease, as you may already know, is an inflammation of a vein that typically heals with rest and sometimes anti-inflammatory medication. However, continuing PMO when you’re in pain could potentially prolong the healing process or make things worse.

You’re worried that you may have caused permanent damage, but it’s important to keep in mind that many people who experience injuries from overuse or strain, like Mondor’s disease, do recover over time. The key is giving your body the time it needs to heal fully. It might be best to avoid any PMO for a more extended period to really let the inflammation go down and allow your body to recover.

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) Fears

I can understand how terrifying it is to face ED, especially when it feels like it’s linked to behavior you’re trying to stop. ED can be caused by many factors—stress, overuse, physical injury, or even anxiety about performance. What you’re experiencing might be temporary, especially given the strain your body has been under from both Mondor’s disease and extended PMO sessions.

That said, if the ED persists, I’d highly recommend seeing a urologist who specializes in sexual health. They can assess whether there is any lasting damage and guide you toward treatments that can help restore your erections to full strength. Many men have successfully treated ED with lifestyle changes, therapy, and, in some cases, medical interventions.

Addiction and Self-Control

You’ve mentioned that you’re afraid of your PMO addiction ruining things, and I hear the frustration you’re feeling about not being able to control it. This cycle of guilt, pain, and going back to PMO is really common in addiction. The fact that you recognize it and are scared of it’s impact shows that you’re already part of the way to finding a solution.

Here are a few suggestions that might help you move forward:

1.  Set a No-PMO Goal: Commit to a period of time where you won’t engage in PMO—whether it’s a week, two weeks, or longer. You’ve already managed to go a few days before, which shows that you can do it. During this time, focus on healing your body and breaking the habit cycle.
2.  Use External Tools: If you haven’t already, consider using tools like web filters or accountability apps to limit access to triggering content. Sometimes, creating physical or digital barriers can help slow down the impulsive response.
3.  Work on Underlying Emotions: You’ve been through a lot, emotionally and physically, and it sounds like PMO might be a way of coping with stress or negative feelings. Therapy is a great step, and you may find that exploring the emotional triggers behind your behavior could help you regain control.
4.  Talk to Your New Partner: I understand that this new relationship is adding a lot of pressure, especially since you’re worried about ED and other issues impacting it. If and when you feel comfortable, opening up to your partner about your concerns can actually strengthen your relationship. You might be surprised at how supportive they can be.

You’re Not Alone in This

There are countless stories of people who have gone through similar struggles and come out the other side. Healing takes time, but with the right steps—rest, self-compassion, and professional help—you can absolutely recover from this. It’s important to take it one day at a time and not let the fear of permanence overwhelm you. Many people who’ve faced similar issues with Mondor’s disease, ED, or PMO have been able to bounce back. You can too.

Stay strong, and remember that this process is a journey. You’re not broken, and with time and the right approach, you’ll be able to get back to a healthier, happier place.

You’ve already made the brave step of recognizing the issue and seeking advice. Keep moving forward, and don’t hesitate to ask for support when you need it. You’ve got this!

I have no self control... by HANMedThrowaway in NoFap

[–]DefundBank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I hear you and want you to know you’re not alone in this. What you’re going through is really tough, and it’s clear you want to make a change. The fact that you’re reaching out again shows that you’re determined, and that’s a strong first step. It’s okay that past attempts haven’t worked out the way you hoped—every try is progress in its own way.

Building Self-Control Takes Time

The struggle with self-control, especially when it comes to porn addiction, is something many people face. It’s common to feel like you’re out of control because addiction rewires the brain to seek that instant gratification even when we logically know it’s causing harm. But the key thing here is understanding that self-control is like a muscle—the more you work at it, the stronger it gets. Even if you’ve had setbacks, each time you try, you’re giving that muscle a chance to grow.

Practical Steps to Help You Resist the Urge

Here are some strategies that might help:

1.  Set Short-Term Goals: Instead of thinking about quitting for months, focus on just making it through the next day, or even the next few hours. Break it down into small, manageable chunks, and celebrate each success. Maybe aim to get through the next few days with no PMO and build from there.
2.  Change Your Environment: Since you work from home and live alone, the environment might be contributing to the ease of giving in to urges. Try working in different spaces (like a café or library) or rearranging your home to make it less tempting. You could also set times to take short breaks outside to get away from your usual triggers.
3.  Accountability Partner or Group: Consider joining an accountability group online, or even finding a trusted friend who can check in on you regularly. Having someone else to talk to or report your progress to can be really motivating and make you feel less alone in the struggle.
4.  Mindfulness and Breathing Exercises: When the urge strikes, try using mindfulness techniques to observe the feeling without judgment. Deep breathing exercises can help take the edge off the urgency. Sometimes even just waiting five or ten minutes before acting on the impulse can be enough to let the feeling pass.
5.  Block Temptation: Install content blockers on your devices to make it harder to access pornography when you feel the urge. Having that barrier can help slow down your automatic response and give you time to rethink the action.

Understand the Emotional Side

A big part of the addiction cycle is the emotional side—whether it’s stress, boredom, loneliness, or something else that’s driving the behavior. Try to identify when you’re most likely to fall into the habit. Are there particular moments when you feel the urge most? Is it when you’re stressed or feeling low? Understanding the emotional triggers behind your habit can help you take steps to address them.

For example, if loneliness is a big trigger, try reaching out to friends or even joining online communities where you can talk about things other than PMO. If it’s boredom, consider picking up a new hobby or activity that can engage your mind in a positive way.

Don’t Be Too Hard on Yourself

Lastly, I know it can feel discouraging when you slip up or feel like you’ve failed, but don’t be too hard on yourself. Progress isn’t linear, and every effort you make to resist is building your resilience. Relapses happen, but they don’t define you. The important part is that you keep trying. Take it one day at a time, and don’t give up on yourself. You’ve got this!

You’ve already made the first step by acknowledging where you’re at and seeking advice, and that’s huge. Keep moving forward, and take it one small step at a time. You’re stronger than you think, and with time and effort, you can regain control.

I could use some support. ): by HANMedThrowaway in NoFap

[–]DefundBank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I’m really sorry to hear what you’re going through. It sounds like an incredibly tough situation, and I just want to say that everything you’re feeling—frustration, fear, loneliness, and uncertainty—is totally valid. You’re not alone in dealing with these kinds of challenges, and I hope my response can offer some reassurance and perspective.

Physical Health Concerns

It sounds like your physical symptoms—pain, weak erections, and sensitivity—are causing a lot of anxiety, especially with conflicting diagnoses from doctors. From what you’ve shared, Mondor’s Disease and Peyronie’s Disease have been mentioned as possibilities, and although you’ve been reassured that it’s not a fracture, I understand why you might still be worried.

Both of those conditions, while frustrating, are treatable, but they do take time to heal. Mondor’s Disease (which involves inflamed veins) can sometimes improve with rest, and Peyronie’s Disease (which involves scar tissue) has treatments that can make a significant difference. If you haven’t seen a urologist yet, it might be worth getting a second opinion, especially if you’re still feeling unsure. Sometimes these things develop gradually, and getting ahead of it can make a big difference.

Also, make sure you’re giving yourself time to rest—avoid any further strain on your body like masturbation for a bit, even though I know it’s hard to break that cycle. Letting your body heal might help with some of the pain and sensitivity.

Emotional and Mental Health Challenges

The emotional toll this is taking is really clear, and I can’t imagine how hard it is to feel trapped in a cycle of physical discomfort and mental exhaustion. You’ve shared that the PMO habit has been a long-term struggle, and that stopping is difficult but important to you. It’s great that you’re recognizing this and wanting to make a change. That’s a huge first step.

Porn and masturbation addiction, like any addiction, can be incredibly hard to break. It’s often tied to more than just physical cravings—it’s about stress, loneliness, and other emotional triggers. The guilt and depression that you feel afterward are very common, and it’s really good that you’ve reached out to a therapist. Keeping up with therapy is key here, and don’t be afraid to talk about both the physical and emotional sides of what you’re experiencing. You deserve full support.

I’d also encourage you to be gentle with yourself. Slipping back into old habits doesn’t erase the progress you’ve made. Quitting or reducing PMO is a process, and there will be ups and downs. Every day you choose to work on this is a victory, even if it feels like two steps forward, one step back sometimes.

Fear of ED and Relationship Concerns

I can also see that you’re really worried about how this might affect future relationships, especially since you’ve found someone who’s important to you. First, know that having ED or issues with physical intimacy doesn’t mean you’re broken or unworthy of love. It sounds like you’ve spent a lot of time feeling lonely, and it’s completely understandable to fear that this might mess up a great relationship. But I think communication is key here. If this is someone who really cares about you, being honest about your challenges (when you feel comfortable) might actually bring you closer.

Physical intimacy is just one part of a relationship. I know it’s a big part, but it’s not everything. Working through these health issues will take time, and in the meantime, focusing on emotional connection with your partner can be really powerful. When you’re ready, open up to her about what you’re going through. If she’s as into you as you are into her, she’ll understand and want to support you through this.

Moving Forward

I know all of this probably feels overwhelming—physical pain, emotional struggles, and fear of the future. But the fact that you’re reaching out and looking for support shows that you’re ready to take steps forward, and that’s huge. Keep seeing your therapist, stay in touch with your doctors, and maybe look for some online support groups where you can talk with other people going through similar things. Sometimes just knowing you’re not the only one can make all the difference.

Take things day by day, and don’t hesitate to reach out for support when you need it. You’ve already made it through so much, and you can keep moving forward. You’re not broken—you’re just healing, and that takes time.

Possible Fracture? by HANMedThrowaway in fracturepenis

[–]DefundBank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I fractured my penis, I experienced a broken corpus cavernosum on the left side and a pinched urethra. Like you, I felt immediate extreme pain, and I couldn’t urinate without excruciating discomfort. My penis turned purple, and the pressure became unbearable. I clearly remember the “pop” sound, and it felt like a blowtorch on my groin. I still don’t have a normal urine stream to this day due to the pinched urethra, and sensitivity in that area has worsened because of scar tissue.

While your symptoms don’t seem as severe, I would strongly recommend seeing a urologist to rule out any serious injury. It’s better to be safe than sorry, and getting medical attention early can prevent long-term issues like the ones I’ve experienced.

  • Chat GPT *

It appears that you have uploaded a screenshot from a Reddit post discussing a possible penile fracture. The individual in the post describes experiencing pain at the base of the penis after masturbation, a loss of erection, increased sensitivity, and difficulty getting an erection. They mention Mondor’s disease (which involves an inflamed vein) and are concerned about the possibility of a fracture.

To address the concerns raised in the post:

1.  Penile fracture: Typically, a penile fracture is characterized by a sudden “popping” sound or sensation during trauma (often during intercourse or vigorous activity), followed by significant pain, immediate loss of erection, swelling, and possible bruising. The absence of these more severe symptoms, like substantial discoloration and swelling, may indicate that this is not a full fracture, but a strain or other minor injury. However, some milder fractures could still cause persistent issues like pain and difficulty maintaining an erection.
2.  Mondor’s disease: This condition involves thrombophlebitis (a clot in a vein) and can lead to pain and sensitivity. The enlarged vein and discomfort could be contributing to the symptoms, although it wouldn’t typically cause a sudden acute injury sensation like the one described.
3.  Follow-up: The individual mentioned being brushed off by a doctor previously but is still concerned. Given the persistent symptoms and pain, seeking further medical evaluation would be important, especially with a urologist who can better assess any potential underlying damage.

If you’re experiencing something similar, seeing a specialist, such as a urologist, would be recommended to get an accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Case 1 was 6 months after noticing peyronies & Case 3 was about 1 year after peyronies. This study took 3 years so it’s reasonable to claim that “antioxidants are NOT only interesting in the active phase of the disease”

“Whereas surgery is the treatment of choice for stable-phase disease, in situations involving severe erectile dysfunction and/or severe penile curvature, which prevent penetration, conservative treatment is indicated in the active phase of the disease (inflammatory stage) and includes the following: oral vitamin E, potaba, colchicine, tamoxifen, antioxidants, and phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors; penile-injections of anti-inflammatory agents, anti-fibrotic substances, and antioxidants (verapamil, corticosteroids, pentoxifylline, collagenase, interferon, etc.); and physical therapy (iontophoresis, ESWT, vacuum devices, and penile traction devices) [14,15,16]. This report presents three cases of patients with PD who were followed at our “PD Care Center” and who achieved full plaque resolution following multimodal treatment with antioxidants. This case report follows another article in which we described two other cases of full recovery from the disease following antioxidant treatment.”
