Peyronies or something else?

Hi everyone, I've posted here before but it's been a few months.

Basically I'm 21 and almost 4 months ago I noticed what I thought was an indent on the bottom left base of my penis, only noticable when erect. I had bumped my penis relatively hard during sex a month prior but had no noticable plaques or discomfort except for an initial shooting pain when I first noticed it and squeezed the area. After about a month I went to the doctor after reading these forums and he did an exam but did not believe I had peyronies. However, the indent stayed for another month or so when suddenly it disappeared. It has since come and gone, and it seems as though it isn't so much of an indent, but rather a raised area of tissue (bump) that I can move around until I get erect enough to where it becomes immovable or hard. It feels like a vein, and sometimes I can almost drain it by pushing hard enough and sometimes it feels like it isn't there at all. Lately I have been having some pain in the area during sex, notably when I'm using a condom that isn't lubed or too tight and I am not fully erect. It sometimes seems like the area is unstable, (but I don't know if this is all in my head or not as there isn't ant visible deformity). When flaccid I occasionally feel some soreness in the area if I pull or move my penis a certain way. I also have been constantly checking for lumps so this could be a result of such. There has been no noticable change in almost 4 months but I'm concerned as I know the acute phase is 6-18 months. Any advice would be appreciated as this has caused me a good amount of anxiety lately.

i would advise not to touch and handle the penis left and right, stretch it, bend it, or anything alike until you don't have a clear idea of what it might be. It might be nothing, it might be something. You won't solve it making experiments like you wrote here. Penis is much more delicate than one could think until it is too late.

Noted. Based off my description, would you suspect peyronies? That is my biggest concern

i don't want to worry you, but my first urologist told me there was an ulceration, second told me that could be peyronie, third told me it could not "feel anything, so it is nothing or nothing to worry about". After 6 years i am still fighting pain and peyronie's various simptoms and now i have oficially peyronie.

I don't want to worry you, so i will tell you this: A LOT OF PEOPLE get injuried on their penis. Only a few eventually have to deal with peyronie, meaning a condition that basically worsen itself because body can't heal. Most people will heal in a manner or the other in a functional way.

What you describe could be scar tissue, but it is not necessairly peyronie...
You did not mention even once pain. Trust me if you had peyronie you would have to deal with pain in the most different situation.

Based on your description, i would think that you are a young guy that might be excessively worried about his penis. But after all these years at the same time i feel like there is no "excessively worrying about penis health".

That's why if ultimately you have some problems in your penis area, you should talk with family first, and keep on talking with an urologist that has expertise on the matter. It is possible that peyronie doesn't show in ecographies, nor by touch... It is a possibility, but you talk only about a denture and a soft "something" that moves.

You also talk about ED, but you are also very young. it sounds unlikely that is anything physical, the most likely is that you are constantly watching anxiously your penis and your erections and that's impede with the natural flow of excitement and erection, which is an extraordinarly complex mechanism in men's mind. If you are anxious about an erection, if you are focused on the penis during an erection, how can you be completely caught by the arousal? You can't be that aroused, in that state of mind where you are physical, if you keep on staying on the logic and analitical side... We don't work like that.

Let's say you have something, that it's not painful, has recently caused some problems with erections. You went to the doctor but what doctor was he? if after a problem to the penis you jump immediatly to the worst conclusion, the proper reaction should be to schedule as much urologists exam you can to find what this this is alla out.

There is possibly not a single thing on the internet you can find beside experiences. At this stage there's nothing you should do about something like this, beside talk with urologists and andrologists. Schedule another visit tomorrow, and ask for further exams. Write down all this impressions you have about this lump that you don't know if it's a vein or anyhthing, speak openly and clearly that you are afraid of peyronie, and if you want we can share about whatever the urologist says... But you need to find an urologist that you trust, he will give you the answers that you are seeking in the wrong place buddy.

Please don't do anything if you are not shure of anything. As i said, could be simply that you did caused some damage, but it is not peyronie. In that case you should not be this worried at all... Maybe erections are not as good as before, but they are good enough? let's say it is not peyronie but only a damage that caused some mild problems with erections: Worst case scenario you will take low dose cialis for a period, that will help you getting the erections you want, and once you will have a few good erections and you will start to be shure to reach those erections, you will stop analizing your penis like an alien abduction, you will enjoy your arousal, you migh even be able to progressively decrease the low dose of the cialis to less and less until you will not take it anymore but body can have back those erections. Because erections are a very complex phenomenon, and brain is a complex engine that can compensate for the most absurd things, if you find the way.

Talk with an uro and with your family, first, trust me.

Thanks. I am having some discomfort during intercourse in the area and my glans has been especially sensitive on that side lately. The "indent" seems to have disappeared though. I have also been having sex up to twice or three times a day with masturbation in between for the past few weeks. I have only gone about a day without masturbating or sex in the last 4 months. Do you think a sensitive glans and soreness is usually associated with peyroines or could this just be an issue of overusing the penis?

lcd, YOU CAN'T REPLACE a forum opinion for a diagnosis. GO TO A DOCTOR NOW or don't expect any other answer here. This is a forum for problems, not a forum for fears. Go talk to a specialist, if you need even two or three. There is no other way.
