Question on the Calcification of Penile Scars(Plaques) and Traction

[Tony52]

Does anyone know if it is believed that all penile scars(plaques)) will sooner or later become calcified?  Especially after the scar(plaque) has been present for a long period of time (for example 7 to 10 years)?  Or do some penile scars (plaques) never become calcified even after many years?  I'm asking because from what I've read, it appears that traction cannot stretch calcified scars(plaques).  Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Well I asked this question to a urologist I saw in (dr Katz) he said not to worry about it. I asked him if he could do an ultra sound to check for calcification so that I wouldnt be wasting my time with traction. He said doing an ultrasound wouldn't be worth it because it wouldnt really matter if there was sone calcification. In a nutshell he said that if there is calcification it would likely be little bits here and there and there would still be plenty of scar tissue to stretch. Unless your entire scar is entirely calcified (unlikely) then you should still see results.

I mean if your entire scar tissue was calcified it would be pretty much bone.. surely you would know if that had happened right?

Calcification is also not as stagnant of a process as some doctors believe it to be.

Things like stigmasterol (Wulzen anti-stiffness factor), vitamin K2 MK-4, and magnesium can - especially synergistically - shift calcium in and out of tissues.

Thanks very much radiantblue and Christopher 1.

My ultrasound last week showed most of my scar tissue as calcified, and I am just short of two years since onset.  I believe in my case genetics play a part

TDix,
What did the doctor suggest that you do?

THIS. During my ultrasound 2 years ago there was some calcification...I can actually feel it with my nail. feels like a grain of sand in two spots where I have indents if I dig in.
