My history

[Bienhechor]

Good afternoon everyone. I'm 39 years old. I spent three terrible years strugglin again my erectile disfunctyion (loss of erection with postural changes, without manual stimulation, weak nocturnal erections, etc, days with no erections at all.), I decided to have a couple of Doppler ultrasounds to see if the cause of my dysfunction was psychological (I have suffered throughout my life from severe depression, severe anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive symptoms). The first urologist said that although the values were venous leak, my clinical history indicated that the cause could be psychogenic. The second said I had a venous leak. Even so, and for a while, with Cialis I could have partially good erections, until it progressively stopped working. After a few days, due to frustration, I had a series of unsuccessful attempts at masturbation, after which I began to feel pain. I waited 3 weeks, but the pain did not subside, so I decided to go to a general urologist in my city, who indicated with palpation that I had Peyronie's. He only prescribed me a topical corticosteroid cream and 5 mg of Cialis daily. He was very rude. When I told him my story, he said, "You've given yourself Peyronie's." The guilt was terrible when I left the appointment. Imagine three years of erectile dysfunction, a completely debilitating depression, and, to top it all off, this, coupled with the intense pain I feel in my penis.
So far, I haven't noticed any curvature, but after the pain, I don't have erections. I've noticed a weak erection on occasion, but I haven't even dared to look. I don't feel any plaque and no deformity at the moment, but I'm confused about what steps I should take from now on. My situation is very bad because I have a terrifying deoresis, taking a lot of medication, and having difficulty getting out of bed. I have strange thoughts, as if I were seeing my entire previous life from above, as if I were already dead and everything were a memory. I know I have to act quickly to try to minimize the progression of the disease as much as possible and seek out a urologist who is an expert in the field, but I don't have enough strength right now. I also don't have the financial resources to pay the expensive rates offered by specialized centers here in Spain.

Sorry for my poor English, but in my country I haven't found any forums, any help pages, anything about people with these kinds of problems. It's like a black hole.

I'm grateful for the existence of this forum, and for anyone who dared to read my story. I just wanted to let it all out.

Welcome Bienhechor to the forum. I am sorry for all you have gone through and you have found a safe place to talk with other men who have possibly gone through similar experiences. First things first please fill out your signature line -->Signature Line . Next thing is to download our survival guide-->Survival Guide.

Your English is fine by the way. So first things are that you had a very rude and uncompassionate Dr. He doesn't know if you caused this or not. Don't go back to him. It can be difficult to find a peyronies Dr which is what you need. Cialis can help with healing and erections but in Venous leakage I am not educated with that.
If you can get another Dr take in a copy of our survival guide and see if he/she would work with you on your treatment protocol.

It is good that you don't have any curvature at this point. Have you had any shortening of your penis that you are aware of? Pain is something that needs to be dealt with. I know when I was in pain from peyronies I used heat therapy throughout the day and it helped me a lot. Look into this.

It is very possible that worrying and anxiety can and will cause ED. Also any medications you are currently taking can cause ED to. Have you researched the meds that you take to see if they could be one of the causes?

You need to educate yourself on traction and VED therapy. That is the usual treatment that a lot of us have started. Traction helps stretch things out and VED helps with healing and erections.

Don't despair man! There is hope in this situation you are in! All of the men here have gone through our share of despair and worrying - you are not alone! We also have Dr Trost here who answers questions for members. After you have made a few posts you are eligible to ask him a question. And by all means get involved in reading the forum and asking questions as you need to be educated better than the Dr's out there. You're going to make it through this!!
