Damage to Suspensory Ligament Posted: 07-24-07 16:44pm
Hi.
In 2000 I was concerned that my penis
might curve to far upward, so I pulled
down on it and then it gave out. The blood
maintained in the penis, but it pointed
downward as if I tore the suspensory
ligament. For a while I couldn't get
erections and I still can't get
spontaneous ones. I can only get erections
by gratifying with my hands.
I met some other people online who have
the same problem. One guy even flew to
england to get checked out.
I personally have been to over 10
different urologist in the span of 7
years. I hate that I was so stupid as to
bend my penis downward.
Anyways, like I said I can only get
erections from masterbation. I can get
semi-sponatious erections but they point
down and aren't hard. Also, my penis still
points upward when I'm hard, so my
suspensory ligament isn't completely torn.
Here is a list of what I have been dealing
with for a while...
-slight numbness
-Penis doesn't react when I flex PC
muscle; feels detached or very loose.
-flaccid penis is actually longer after I
snapped it which leads me to believe that
damage was done to the suspensory
ligament.
One last question...when you flex your PC
muscle, does the penis react to it? Can
you move your penis at all with it?
Thanks.

You just performed penile-lengthening
surgery on yourself. I'm not kidding;
that's what they do!
My ex can control his penis with the pc
muscles, making it "bounce".
Your penis is supposed to point upwards
when hard...

No, my penis still points up when hard, it
just feels detached and I can't get
spontaneous erections.

Yes, I read that... I think you'll be okay
(not perfect, but okay) as long as you
still get hard enough for sex later on in
your life... and hey, as a bonus, your
penis is a little longer!

I don't see how thats possible. I mean
inorder for my penis to still be able to
stand up 90 degrees when erect, some scar
tissue must have formed. I mean if I
actually did damage the suspensory
ligament, my dick shouldn't be fine when I
get erections.

Yes, that IS how they lengthen your penis
(by cutting that ligiment) and yes, I can
make mine move up and down by flexing the
muscle. Now if they could just add more
blood to it to make it wider....
I haven't gotten that procedure done.
Length is not the issue for me.

No, because when you get the op done, your
dick has no suspension and just hangs down
when erect.

I don't know how it's possible but clearly
this is what has happened to you; you
somehow damaged and lengthened your
suspensory ligament. And it will be just
fine even if it was totally severed as
someone else said: the suspensory ligament
is not necessary for an erection. All it
does is affect where the erection is
pointed. Without the ligament, your penis
would point down. With it, the penis
points up, and in your case it is damaged,
and you still get the semi-upright
posture.
Just so you know, some men just don't have
upwards facing penises. My ex's penis had
a downward curve and never ever pointed
up.

So you're saying I may have damaged the
ligament, like I previously thought, but
not completely.
This doesn't necessarily mean my dick is
larger, but I wonder if this procedure
could make my dick smaller and I wonder if
a doctor would even perform this procedure
consider my dick still points straight
up....
The
surgical technique of repair included
identifying the PSL via a transverse
suprapubic incision. Once identified, the
PSL was reinforced or repaired using
nonabsorbable no. 1 Nylon sutures placed
from the midline of the tunica to the
pubic symphysis, until the optimal
functional penile position was achieved as
documented by an artificial erection
test.
