Xiaflex and/or extender

[andreflex7]

I have a bend/twist to the left of about 30 degrees or a little less the left

1.) Would I be a candidate for Xiaflex?

2.) He gave me a prescription for an extender, but explained to me that there is a lot of time under tension in order to see results. (But I was aware of this because I have been researching peyronie's and extenders for a long time now) Has anyone seen results with an extender?


I am new to this forum so please forgive me if I am repeating questions that have already been asked.

When did your symptoms appear? How long have you had this?

No one can tell you if you will be a good candidate for Xiaflex except a Peyronies expert after will make you an ultrasound.
Regarding extender or VED, both may help, you will not know just after a few months of using the on the day basis.

Sorry for a late reply. I honestly can't remember when my symptoms started. My penis has always had a slight bend/twist. I am 34yrs. old and remember as far back as I can. It wasn't until last year that I started heavily researching penis exercises which then led me to realize that one can have Peyronies without a major curve or non functioning penis. FYI, I haven't gotten into any type of penis exercises as of yet.

I have a mild form of ED since my early 20s.

I'm hoping that an extender can help me out, providing I use it properly

Could you have congenital curvature? Congenital curvature is not Peyronies

[james1947]

I agree with LWillisjr regarding congenital curvature.
You need to find a good urologist to understand what your problem is.

It is possible that it could be congenital curvature. I am meeting with my urologist on 2/28. I will ask him about that possibility.

Having that said, is it possible that an extender or pump could help correct the curve?

Thanks for all of the replies.

[LWillisjr]

There are mixed views whether VED or traction can effectively impact a congenital curve. I would say it depends on your degree of curvature. VED or traction might provide some slight improvement which would be worth a try if have a slight curve. If you have a severe curve then I would be doubtful.

If you are not sure how to measure your curvature accurately, email or PM me. I have created a PDF file with images and step by step instructions on how to do this.
