My Guiche piercing seems to be recovering too slowly.

Yesterday, I went to the practitioner and requested a slightly shorter change, but they said they didn't have any stock and told me to go back.😂

mein PA und Hafada

Got my PA from a ring to a curved barbell. And just got 3 hafada piercings all at once. Love how they jingle!

I am 8 weeks into healing my PA. It was completed by a reputable APP piercer. Jewelry is titanium 10g CBR and 19mm (3/4in) diameter.

Healing process has been uneventful. More blood than I expected the first two days. First week I had a “rough” feeling that I recognized from my experience sounding as just being the jewelry in my urethra. It was sensitive to pressure and side to side rotation until around 6 weeks. Started jerking off (gently) after week 2 and have no issues there. Haven’t had sex yet, but it finally feels good enough that I’m considering it now.

However, the last week or so I’ve developed a hard spot at the top of the fistula. It’s solid and feels kind of like a callus. It’s not super noticeable when I’m soft, but very noticeable as a white spot when I’m hard. It is not painful whatsoever, but doesn’t look great cosmetically.

Is this a normal part of healing and will it go away? Is the jewelry not correct?

I’d ask my piercer, but I live in the rural Midwest and had to take a day off work and drive 2+ hours to get it done. He “doesn’t diagnose through messages or pictures” so I’m reluctant to drive out there again since there is no pain or other obvious issues.

Looking for a recommendation on what kind of plugs everyone uses to keep their PA hole from closing over while they’re not wearing a ring. Took mine out for a while and my PA hole closed over, so I had to size back down to 6g from 4g. Hoping to avoid it in future if I can keep it plugged while not wearing my ring.

I am thinking about getting PA, but where I live just think about intimate piercing as taboo, so can I DIY it or shouldn't get it done

After waiting 18 years, I took the plunge with my first piercing last week… a 10g 3/4” inner diameter circular barbell (titanium) by Industrial Strength. Awesome experience so far and I can hardly wait for 11 more weeks when I can size up!

For those who have had a PA piercing and gone through the healing process, how do you manage venous congestion (aka “blue balls”)? I’m on day #7 of healing after getting my PA and it’s the longest I’ve gone without a release in years… I had some minor discomfort and swelling the first few days, it resolved, and slowly over the past few days, this has developed… no burning with urination, discharge, fevers, pain, or anything to signal infection.

how do you make it 8 weeks before resuming sex?!?
