Injury

[Rstar12]

Not much to say, had my penis snap at the base from the left side 7 months ago. Still struggling, developed a 10 degree curve to the left with painful erections. Hoping for the best

Has anyone had imaging (ultrasound/MRI) miss their plaque(s) several times before they were able to detect them?

Hi Rstar,

I have a palpable plaque that clearly causes a deformity and was diagnosed as Peyronies Disease, but it is not visible in normal Ultrasound.

The Urologists explained me that the visibility on Ultrasound depends on type of scar tissue. E.g. a calcified plaque often is more clearly visible in Ultrasound while non-calcified plaque can be more difficult or impossible to detect.

I read some studies on Ultrasound best practices for Peyronies Disease and it stated that Elastography might be a better method to detect plaques for Peyronies Disease.

Welcome Rstar12 to the forum and thank you for filling out your signature line. Also please download and read our survival guide ==>Survival Guide . This will give you a better understanding about all of the different treatments available.

So it sounds like you have had a fracture of your penis? Did you go to the Dr to be examined? Any tests or ultrasounds done? Are your erections still painful? Are you taking anything for the pain or even taking Cialis or Viagra?

You are in the best forum on the net for info and sharing with other men regarding peyronies. Welcome!

It is true that not all ultrasounds can reveal plaques. It is best done with a hard erection though. Blood flow does show up pretty good.

Did you possibly have a penile fracture? That is not Peyronies.
And 10 degreees is a very mild curve.
