Glad to have this forum

Hi,
65 year old gay male, sometimes sexually active.  Discovered a "dent" in the left side of my penis while masturbating last month.  My penis now curves to the left.  The spongy tissue is still firm in my penis, although there is this "dent." I do use a 5 snap leather cock ring when masturbating or when I have sex. I would say my erections are quite firm.  I have no pain. When I'm lucky enough to score a "sex date" I often use Viagra (50mg)... so that I can "top" without any concern.  Have not topped since I discovered the Peyronie's.  I'm not expecting any difficulty since the curve is not severe. When I saw the "dent," I made an appointment with a urologist.  He confirmed Peyronie's by feeling my penis (not erect).  He could feel the plaque below the "dent" toward the base. The dent is about an inch (?) above the base of my penis. So, the base is firm, and the spongy tissue from the "dent" toward the head is firm.  There is this "dent."  My urologist called this a "waist." He suggested I "wait and see."  My biggest concern is that it gets worse, and I don't want to do anything to make it worse.  I'm generally masturbating every other day to keep the blood flowing in my penis.  And I'm sometimes taking Viagra, even when masturbating, to have an extra hard erection. I've been doing some exercises every day... pulling my penis (not erect) this way and that... to the left, to the right, upwards, downwards, helicopter. Learned to do this from NEOMAN on his YouTube channel. I've been "massaging" the area where the plaque and dent are when masturbating.  And I often bend my penis (gently) from the "dent" in the other direction (to the right) when masturbating.  Believe it or not, I do think the "waist" I had a month ago is better now than then... but I can't be sure?  It seems the right side of my penis is not "dented in" as much as it was a month ago?  There is not so much of a "waist."  But, I can't be sure.  Just this "dent" on the left side.  I hope this introduction is not too long?  If anyone thinks I'm doing something I shouldn't do, or has advice on something I might do right now, I'd great appreciate it.  Thank you for having this forum.

I don't think you are doing anything wrong. Many of us have no idea what triggered out Peyronies. Traction and VED are other possible therapies covered in detail on this forum.

Yes it is true for myself. Peyronies for no apparent reason or change of anything.
