My penis wont relax

Written by nutcase at 08 Jun 2003 06:10:06:


I have a bump on the shaft of my penis about the size of a
BB, my sensitivity has decreased to about 50% of what it
was a year ago, and my penis wont relax completely.

My problems started a year ago when I was put on Celexa & Depakote for depression and anxiety. I took the Celexa for 2 weeks, but quit after I began to have problems having an orgasm and loss of penis sensitivity. After quitting the meds my ability to orgasm returned to normal, but my sensitivity did not. My doctor told me that the meds could not cause the sensitivity problems and that I was creating the problem by worrying about it so much. I accepted that and returned to masturbating as I normaly would, up to 2-3 times a day, thinking that it was all in my head and all I needed was to quit thinking about my sensitivity so much and it would return to normal.

My sensitivity has returned on occasion, I would say about
4 times over the last year, each time for about a week
before the sensitivity would decline again. This return of
sensation made me believe that it was created by my
anxiety because it seemed to return when I was in a good
mood, but about 4 months ago I noticed that my penis wasn't
relaxing like it used to and I noticed a small bumb on the
shaft of my penis. Also, after masturbating, I
began waking up during the night with a full erection that
I could not get it to relax unless I got out of bed and
walked around for a couple of minutes. But even then it
would not go totally limp.

A month ago the sensitivity returned to about 90%, but
after a week it was gone and the problem with the penis not
shrinking seemed to be getting worse. It is like the blood is
having difficulty draining from the head. I thought it was
fatigue from over-masturbating, so I quit masturbating for
2 weeks, but sensititvity did not return and my penis was
still not relaxing completely. I noticed a bump on my penis the
size of a BB on the underside of the shaft, near a large vein.
It has been there for 3 weeks now with no change in size.

Could this bump be a blocked artery, or is my penis just
fatigued? If so, how much rest does it need to return to
normal function? Or could all of these problems be created by anxiety?
Please, I need answers... I am really stressing out over
the loss of sensitivity.
