Intro

[Bent Ding Dong]

Hi fellow members, just a brief intro about myself:

Had a bent penis for as long as I can remember (possibly natural bend) but about 5 years ago things started to get worse and erections were poor and started losing size. Could feel a lump near the glans which continued to get bigger. Went to urologist and was given 4 options, nesbit, cut the lump out, penile implant, or Xiaflex. I wanted to get Xiaflex but the doc said he doesn't do it but can refer me to another doc that does it but it will cost about $7,000.
So long story short, I didn't go for any of those options as the first 2 would make the penis shorter than the lost size that I already have and an implant is the last option when all else fails and couldn't afford Xiaflex at the time.

I've been on the keto diet for the last 2 months and haven't seen any improvements. I've also been taking alcar 2000mg a day for 6 months and natural vitamin e as well as the occasional viagra and cialis. Tried many other things but no success as yet.

Cheers.

Hey man.. Please look around for the survival guide. Consider doing traction and ved to help you out.

Hey pfract,

I will check it out cheers. I've tried traction without any improvements unfortunately.

Bent,

How bas is your curve. This can also dictate what options to consider.

LWillisjr, the curve isn't too bad really, I've seen much worse photos. It's like a banana really with no sharp curves upward but the thing that concerns me most is the lack of expansion or blood flow in the glands area due to a large lump about the size of the top of my thumb right in the middle of the spongy tissue. This gives me weak erections and it's crap.

Has a doctor diagnosed this lump?

[Bent Ding Dong]

A urologist did. Doctors were hopeless.  

[TonySa]

What was the diagnosis, plaque?

[Bent Ding Dong]

Yes, a nice big one. Strangely though it didn't really show up on the ultrasound but you can feel it quite easily.
