24 year old new sufferer here.

[JSR]

Hey everyone, I'm a 24 year old guy from the UK. Whilst I haven't been diagnosed yet, I'm 100% sure that I have Peyronie's and whilst I feel like a massive fool for not manning up and seeing a doctor about this earlier, I have an appointment with a GP in two weeks.

I started noticing problems with my penis about six to seven months ago, when I was getting quite painful erections (not entirely sure of the timeframe, I'm useless when it comes to that kinda thing). At the time I put this down to the antidepressant I was on (Citalopram), which has erection issues as a side effect.

I later began to get the hourglassing, at first it was an indentation on the front and back of my penis and slight hourglassing on the sides to the point where over the past few months, it has began to bend ever so slightly to one side, the side which has quite a bit of hard plaque underneath the skin.

I've lost an inch of length already, I was nearly 7 inches before and now I'm just under 6, sometimes my erections are painful, sometimes they're not too bad apart from when I cum, the worst part is at night, though. Nearly every night if I wake in the night it seems to be due to an erection.

I suffer with really bad depression and anxiety and this crap is pushing me over the edge a little bit, which is why I've had to try and not think about it as much as possible, to think that I'm probably going to be stuck with a deformed small dick which I will never want a girl to see and probably won't ever be able to enjoy sex now as well as all my other problems and insecurities is a bit too much tbh.

Hi, welcome to the forum, sounds like you need to start some treatment, try a VED or a Traction unit see if they make any difference, its a slow process to get some progress, but you will get there.

[JSR]

I've heard you can get these on the NHS, I'll ask for a referral to a urologist when I see my GP and hopefully I can get one, I definitely won't be able to afford one otherwise as I'm out of work atm.

stay strong, 6 inches is not small, lenght in worst case scenario can be gained back with implant, plus you have a whole road of treatmens before that. Focus on your lifestyle for now. It's hard, but you are not alone.

Where have you heard that the length can be gained back with an implant?
That isn't like that

[JSR]

6 inches is me flattering myself a bit tbh. It doesn't look good, anyway. Pretty gutting as well due to the fact that my good size was one of my few sources of self esteem, plus I'd had compliments on it from the few girls I've had sex with. I'm nearly 6ft 4 as well, so it's going to look a lot smaller in proportion.

I've always known what Peyronie's was without knowing how it develops and have always been gentle with myself in consciousness of it. Of course it had to happen to me, if I found out I had terminal cancer as well I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised now.

You might try diclofenac sodium gel for pain.  Works for some.

it gets to me that one should not go for an implant expecting the size to come back, but also there's plenty of people stating that they do get close to the original size pumping the erection again and again during the months and years, i think in a no different principle as the stretching devices... I might understood it uncorrectly, but while it is to be expected for everyone to loose some lenght at start, if the procedure is done correctly, this loss could be minimal to begin with... Plus, i might be wrong, but it seams to me that many people which change their implant in 10 or 15 years, they have to change it for a sligtly bitter one, since their penis stretchability has gone up from the first time... Many people said, they are not back to pre, but they are way better they were on peyronie alone...
This is the stuff i have been reading around, and i might fool myself, but even this being a possibility rather than a very unlikely outcome, it is our duty to stay positive and focus on the best possible scenario.

Dear JSR, i don't know if you can feel better knowing that there's people who got through some nasty crap, but i will gladly share it with you.
Let's start saying that i have been constantly molested through my childhood by some people working at my place. For the time i realized what was going on, i was already in middle school, so i have lived with this secret almost 20 years, half of it in shame and guilt, until i finally talked it with a psyc* later on. Not to my family, to not give worries for a problem which was nobody's fault (partially), and could not be addressed by sobs and sorries.
I have not been blessed with good loking, at all. I litterally grew up with chicks constantly remind me how ugly i was. I mean, elementary up to highschool, once they also shamed me pubblicly writing on the class blackboard "all males good looking in this class except for him".
Nature blessed me also with gynecomasty, which caused me a whole lot of anxiety and shame feelings. I eventually had a surgery for that, but even if it relieved a lot of stress, it's not like the surgery was perfect and i live with a perfeclty normal flat chest now, i still have some little boobs after gaining weight and loosing it againt over the years.
I grew up fat, maybe because i had something to hide? i don't know, but i have been fat (not incredibly fat, bat fat) all my life, adding in repulsiveness and shame.
Peniswise, i have a consistent amount of fat on my pubic area, so my resting penis is mostly hidden, giving me some nasty feelings of shame to get naked.

Even if i was lucky enough to get packed with an erect 6.2 inches penis at start, it is certainly not a flattering measure to begin with. It should be the standart measures for a guy my height (5.7 feet), but thruth is it is not very thick, and thruth it is that around me i see more bigger penises than mine than i see on statistics tables. These were the starting measures, and we are going down from those.

To add to all this, i can confidently say that i have add (adhd), which made me a difficult person to deal with: short tempered, impatient, unable to achieve long term goals and basically incapable of pursuing life goals... The combination of anger from a lifetime of humiliations and this mental condition i have, pretty much brought me to being sadly alone at 30, and i mean lacking in friends not in company. Because ater 26 of course i lost that possibility too...

I am surrounded by just a few people that do need me for minor or thrivial aspects of their life, i am nobody's important part of the life. At night, i am alone in all this, i may pay people to listen to my problems, but basically i am still one in hundreds of people they get payed by to listen to, and they have their crap to think about, so i can safely say that therapy is not helping me anymore (even if it did in the past for a certain amount of time, to cope with most of my problems).

Why i tell you this? because i hope that you can really feel like having to deal with a normal even if bent penis, having a history of girls you impressed, being tall and having something to being found attractive by someone.... i mean, do something, you are not in a bas situation! They now say 1 in 10 men on earth have at some point in their life to deal with this crap, so find what's good in you and focus on that. Snap out of the autocommiseration as soon as you can, talk to people you have close, if you have, and i am shure you do unlike me!

There's nothing wrong in you, you had only some bad luck, it's not like people is going to dislike you for this. Don't overthink your bad luck, it could be worse! please, please, focus on what you can do and on your future! You are young, you are not alone.

You can send me a PM regarding your decision

AMS 700 LGX
LGX = Length and Girth Expander.
I read about many people that got back more than 1" length  and noticeable girth in the first year or so.
Just need to use it frequently
