Peyronie's & Me

Peyronie's & Me
My apology about my poor English, in Eastern Europe, English was not a choice foreign language back in my school time.
It took me long time to decide to tell my story regarding my Peyronie's because of shame on what happened to me. But this forum is anonymous and is the only place I feel I can share my story. And I feel that I need to share with someone.
I am 64 year old, living in the Far East for the last six years and married to a local woman younger than me with 30 years. It is my second marriage, I was long time divorced when I have moved here. For her was a huge change in social and economic status. Until three years ago, at 61 I was a very proud man about what I had between my legs and my capability to use it. Stone hard erections, lasting whatever time I want, sex three or four times a week, sometimes using a 50mg Viagra if I wanted to make a party.
Four years ago I was diagnosed with enlarged prostate making urinating very frequent. The doctor put me on Finasteride. After some 3 months I felt a gradually loss of libido and some new dark hair growing on my had. Making a search by the internet I find that side effects of Finasteride are libido loss, ED and hair growing. I stop immediately and go for a TUNA (Trans Urethral Needle Abrasion) treatment to reduce the size of the prostate. It was three years ago. After I stopped the Finasteride  my libido was back gradually and everything seems OK. One month after the TUNA I noted my penis has a very small bent to the left when erected. Was not accompanied by any pain and I have not given any importance to it. Three months later my wife gets pregnant. She wanted very much to have a mixed child, here in the Far East is considered an asset and very special and I see no problem to ensure they economic future if something happens to me (30 years age difference).
During the pregnancy her libido went down considerably and our sex life reduced to one (sometime two) times a week. My bend increased gradually, I have noticed a narrowing of the shaft at the bent accompanied by less strong and less lasting erections. I was thinking nothing serious, just because my wife libido so low so I am less exited for sex also.
The Peyronie's ruined my life. I am a well-known professional in my field, I reduced my activity to a very low level, I am not able to concentrate in nothing else except the Peyronie's. After our daughter was born (really beautiful creature with small size, Far East mixed face and pink white skin) my wife libido came back slowly to what was before the pregnancy. And then I noticed that my performances are far from what it was before. The bending to left is a hard bending and a strong banana curvature up developed also. The girth became small from a respectful one and the length is now 13cm (was 12cm before I begin VED) from 18cm that was before the Peyronie's. To achieve a hard (more or less, not stone hard anymore) and lasting erection is possible just with 100mg Viagra and that also not more than ones or twice a month. I am still able to satisfy her by oral sex whenever she wishes, but she always mentioned that she likes to ride the real think.
Three months ago she told me she has a young male friend from FaceBook and she is planning to meet him. She told me that she knows she is hurting me very much, she know that the consequences may be that we will separate and all her world will change back to what was before she meet me but she needs a real hard dick. Simple like that. Two months ago she meet him. She came back and with big tears in her eyes she told me that she had a wonderful day she was able to get 12 time orgasm even the guy is short, dark skin, ugly and his dick is small but stone hard. She told me that she realized that the life is not just sex with a hard dick, she is very much sorry for what she had done and the pain she had done to me and if I will agree she want that we will continue to stay together, to be again my little princess as I was calling her from when we marry. She promised she will never meet or talk again with this guy or with any other man and she will be beside me to fight this horrible disease. I told her that I need to think a few days, but I am shore she knows that I will agree because I want my daughter will grow up with a mother and a father. Until know, two months on she is keeping her promises. How long, I don't know and I don't know if my trust in her will ever be back. What I can say for shore that if it will happen again we will separate forever and I am shore I will get the right to grow up my daughter. Here is a matter of money.
I begin to search the Internet to try to find out what happening to my penis and I find this site. During the last year and a half I read all the posts trying to find a solution to this horrible disease that affected so much my life. I would like to mention that this forum helped and helping me enormously to fight the disease. I am using VED for six months by now, taking supplements and 12.5mg Viagra daily (I am not tolerating Cialis). I went to doctors that know a fraction of my knowledge today about Peyronie's. What they wanted is degloving my penis, making excision with no grafting without even seeing or touching my penis and making money of course. One month ago I find a young Urologist that I get to conclusion he have knowledge in the subject and is not hungry just for money. He tested me with ultrasound, showed me the calcifications I have at the bottom left side, mid right side and a rope like calcification that goes on the upper side of my penis from the bottom to the top. He had prescribed me some supplements and I will see him again in mid-January. I will update the forum if will be something interesting.

I hope somebody can learn something from my story. I am not active in the forum because I feel that I have nothing to contribute for now.
I would like to thank to the forum for the morale help for me and to anyone in need and for showing that have and have many ways to the light in the end of this dark tunnel. Thank you.

Man, what a story! I do not agree with you that you have nothing to contribute to this forum. My friend, you have much to relate to this forum and to the many guys suffering from this horrible mess called Peyronies Disease. Your story should be an inspiration to others, especially the younger guys here who have a long life time ahead of them. They need to hear your story in hopes they will learn something from it.

As an old man of 82 plus years and having had Peyronies Disease since the age of 24, I know much about the inroads of Peyronies Disease and can relate to your story very well. So, do not refrain from posting on the main forum or in privates messages at any time you have the opportunity. We all have much to learn from your experiences.
