Is this Peyronies?

Also, do I have to go to a GP in order to go to a specialist?

I did not need a referral when I made my appointment with Dr. Levine.

I'm not sure how common it is to have peyronie's in such an area. I would imagine that it could be very tricky to inject in such a case, but I'm far from being an expert on that. Use of the VED or a traction device could possibly help to stretch areas even if it is within your body. As your condition appears to have been in decline for some years, I would say that using such a device, and taking pentoxifylline would be a good starting point. After 6 months or so, you may be in a position to tell whether that strategy has 1) not helped or 2) stablised your condition or 3) improved your condition.

Yeah, it has been a long gradual decline. Can they do injections down below the base?

My first thought is that trying vacuum therapy (or possibly traction) might be useful to you. Many men have regained some length this way and if the plaques are at the base of below they may still benefit from the pull of the VED. From your description it sounds as if you've lost length over a great many years. Is that a accurate statement? I would hope that at least embarking on a treatment might prevent additional loss. Taking pentoxifylline could be helpful too.

Twenty years ago, when I was 18, I fractured my penis. It bent to the left, with stinging pain. Ever since then, I have experienced mild pain during sexual activities, as well as a continual loss of length and girth. I went to my General Practitioner, but he did not believe me, said it was in my head, and then gave me some Viagra. (I no longer go to that doctor...) He said he could not feel any plaques...

I was 7 inches or so, and big enough around that it was like a tube of toothpaste. Only Magnum condoms would fit. Now, 20 years later I am lucky to get 4 inches, and it is quite narrow.

In any case, the issue seems to be the location of the plaques. I can only feel them when I have an erection, and they are deep inside my abdomen, beneath my scrotum. They are like a spiral, on both sides. Can peyronie's be treated if it is not along the external shaft of the penis? They really are deep inside, near the penile bone. Any thoughts?
