Understanding Hard Flaccid Syndrome: What You Need to Know

What exactly is Hard Flaccid Syndrome?

Hard flaccid syndrome is described as one or more of the following symptoms:

  • In a flaccid condition, the penis shortens or retracts
  • Penis temperature or sensation changes, such as numbness or coldness
  • Penis or perineum discomfort
  • Ejaculation is excruciatingly painful.

A variety of causes, including penile damage, penis modifications, and overall high stress levels, are likely to contribute to hard flaccid syndrome.

Hard flaccid can be associated with both pelvic floor muscular tension and anxiousness. At Elite Aesthetics, we will look at the broad picture to determine which areas of your lifestyle may be contributing to your symptoms, as well as provide you with practical solutions to reduce stress.

What Is Involved in Hard Flaccid Syndrome Diagnosis?

The assessment of this problem includes both a review of your medical history to look for risk factors such as UTIs/a history of trauma, and an examination of the pelvic floor muscles.

What is the Prognosis?

In-clinic therapies often include a variety of exercises such as pelvic floor muscle, pelvic yoga, and/or physical restoration seminars. A combination of the Emsella Chair for Pelvic Floor rehabilitation and the Priapus Shots are beneficial for this condition.

Tips for Preventing and Treating

Stress impairs erectile function and causes muscular strain, so consider how you handle stress.
Consider cardiovascular workouts such as walking, yoga, tai chi, and swimming to help relax your pelvic floor throughout the day.

Common Myths

Myth #1: I’ll be trapped with this for the rest of my life.

Truth: Effective therapy is feasible with the correct management strategy, regardless of how long you’ve had Hard Flaccid Syndrome.

Myth #2: My Hard Flaccid Syndrome is caused by my prostate.

The majority of individuals with Hard Flaccid Syndrome have completely normal prostate tests.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hard flaccid is a difficult condition to treat. Specific men’s health treatment, the P Shot, is highly successful in resolving this condition. More importantly having a physiotherapist that understands the condition and knows how to treat an individual is key.

 

 

 

 

What are the Symptoms of Hard Flaccid Syndrome?

Firm flaccid syndrome is characterised by the presence of a hard or semi-hard penis in addition to a flaccid or soft penis. This is the most prevalent symptom of hard flaccid syndrome. If the symptoms continue, hard flaccid can create further complications, including a loss of interest in sexual activity as well as mental discomfort.

The following is a list of numerous other hard flaccid symptoms that are regularly reported:

Rigidity That Doesn’t Change

The most common symptom of hard flaccid erection, which is not a normal erection, is the sensation of having a hard or semi-hard erection even when the penis is not erect. When flaccid, the penis may also have the sensation of being shorter or appear to be shorter.

Numbness

Another sign of hard flaccid is a loss in sensitivity and pain in the penis, as well as a feeling of numbness, coldness, or even a “hollow” sensation in the penis. This is because there is insufficient blood flow, as opposed to an erection that has adequate blood flow and feels warm when touched and occurs when there is adequate blood flow.

Difficulty Obtaining and Keeping an Erection

Hard flaccid syndrome is characterised by a penis that is normally semi-hard. In addition, sufferers may have a loss of morning erections as well as additional erectile problems. It’s possible that you’re having problems getting and keeping an erection during sexual activity, or that you require more stimulation than normal to get one. It’s possible that the head of the penis will stay soft even while you have an erection

 

 

 

Hard Flaccid Syndrome Diagnosis

Because there has been little clinical research on hard flaccid, many people have self-diagnosed by reading online forums. Many men were previously misdiagnosed with non-bacterial chronic prostatitis or Peyronie’s disease.

If you suspect you have hard flaccid syndrome, discuss your symptoms with your doctor. Chronic pain (especially while standing), a numb or “hollow” feeling in the penis, and a semi-hard penis while flaccid are all warning signs.

Blood tests, an imaging test (or Doppler ultrasound) of the penis, a urine test, and sexually transmitted infection screening may be requested by your healthcare provider.

 

Hard Flaccid Syndrome Education
Understanding the condition is good first step toward treating hard flaccid. 
The more you understand, the less stressed or anxious you may feel, which may help mitigate the effects.
Another critical step is to reassure yourself that you are not to blame for your hard flaccid condition.
Stress Management

Reducing stress and anxiety is beneficial to sexual health. Stress causes muscle tension, which reduces erectile function and worsens the symptoms of hard flaccid syndrome.

Even if you believe that stressing less is easier said than done, it is doable. According to a 2011 literature review, mindfulness and meditation are two effective stress-relieving techniques for chronic conditions. Communication with your partner(s) can also help relieve some of the stress you are experiencing.

Had a consultation with Elite yesterday, I must say I was a bit nervous, but Dr Shirin was so friendly and helpful.
I was given lots of advice and was given treatment options that were within my budget.
A few weeks after the P Shot I've really started to see a difference and have gained my confidence back.

Thank You!

Elite is an outstanding professional clinic with high standard treatments. All the staff members are friendly and offer you honest opinions when it comes to products and treatments. This is a welcoming clinic that I can 100% recommend. Treatments are spoken through and explained in detail, also aftercare. I have been going nearly a year now and am happy with all the treatments I’ve had, wouldn't go anywhere else. The Bocox treatment started to work within a few days, which I was surprised about. So glad I went to Elite for treatment.

Thank you Dr Shirin, the O Shot has really helped me with my Lichen Sclerosus. I'd heard about the treatment on the LS Facebook Groups and message a few people that had treatment with Dr Shirin. I was like many in the group who had run out of treatment options and using creams on a daily basis. I have to say a few months after treatment, I can see a real positive change and I'm hoping my LS will continue to improve. Dr Shirin did say that I might have to have a second treatment given how severe my case is.

Hi, Alex here,Just had my Lichen treatment today with Dr Shirin,The whole team at elite are very friendly, comforting and understanding, and did everything they could to give me a wonderful and welcoming experience. They are all so kind, friendly and knowledgeable, world experts at what they do. I am lucky to have them near London. They are also super responsive on the phone and email, so I know they care about thier patients, and I'm very well taken care of, (as with other clinics I have been to, its often difficult to get them to respond to questions), but this clinic is the most responsive I have ever seen!This is a beautiful and wonderful place and I highly recommend it, and I will be recommending it to all my friends as well. They definitely deserve the super high reviews they are getting, so I'm happy to add another one! A Big thank you from me and my family for all you have done for us during this journey!

Yesterday I had a 'body sculpt' session, to help lymphatic drainage. I was zipped into a suit up to my waist. This massaged and lightly squeezed my feet, ankles, calves, thighs and abdomen. I was breathing oxygen rich air via nasal tubes. It was very relaxing and I slept really well last night. Thank you Elite Aesthetics.
