How to recover from damaged corpus cavernosum at the age of 20

Damage to the corpus cavernosum at the age of 20 can be restored through physical therapy, drug therapy, lifestyle adjustments, psychological intervention and regular review. Damage to the corpus cavernosum is usually caused by factors such as trauma, frequent masturbation, inflammation, infection, vascular abnormalities, or chronic diseases.

1. Physical therapy:

Low-frequency pulse electrical stimulation can promote local blood circulation and accelerate tissue repair. Vacuum negative pressure devices can improve erectile function. When using them, the intensity of the negative pressure needs to be controlled to avoid secondary damage. Daily sitz bathing in warm water for 15 minutes can help relieve pain and swelling. It is recommended that the water temperature be maintained at around 40°C.

2. Drug treatment:

Doctors may prescribe phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors to improve erectile function, such as sildenafil, tadalafil, etc. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as celecoxib, can be used when inflammation is present. Severe vascular injuries require vasoactive drugs, such as prostaglandin E1 injection.

3. Lifestyle adjustment:

Give up the habit of masturbation for at least 3 months to avoid repeated congestion of the penis. Make sure you sleep for more than 7 hours, and having erections at night can help with tissue repair. Increase the intake of zinc in your diet, such as oysters, beef, etc., to promote collagen synthesis. Stop smoking and drinking to prevent further damage to the vascular endothelium.

4. Psychological intervention:

Anxiety about sexual function can make recovery more difficult, and mindfulness meditation can be used to relieve stress. Couple support therapy can reduce the incidence of psychogenic erectile dysfunction. If necessary, conduct cognitive behavioral therapy to correct misunderstandings about sexual function.

5. Regular review:

Monthly ultrasound examinations of penile blood flow were performed to assess recovery progress. If the erectile function scale score continues to be lower than 21 points, the treatment plan needs to be adjusted. If complications such as priapism and persistent pain occur, you should seek medical attention immediately.

During the recovery period, it is recommended to wear loose cotton underwear to reduce friction and avoid activities that put pressure on the perineum such as riding. Perform Kegel exercises every day to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. The specific method is to contract the anal muscles and hold them for 10 seconds and then relax, 15 times per group, 3 groups a day. The diet can include more nut foods rich in vitamin E, and deep-sea fish can be used to supplement Omega-3 fatty acids to promote neurovascular repair. In the later stages of recovery, gradually try moderate sexual activities under the guidance of a doctor. In the early stages, lubricants can be used to reduce the risk of friction injuries.
