How to maintain stretched flaccid length?

[powderpowder]

1. Did your peyronies disease cause you to lose length in the flaccid state, or is that only generally when you are erect.

2.  How can one preserve their stretched flaccid length, is this with VED, or traction?

3.  If you did lose length from stretched flaccid, how much did you lose or get back?

1. I don't know, never checked flaccid length before Peyronies
2. VED and/or traction may preserve your flaccid length
3. Very individual. Lost 6.5 cm, got back 1.5 cm.

1. Did your peyronies disease cause you to lose length in the flaccid state, or is that only generally when you are erect.

I think both.. but not so sure. My flaccid "loss" could be from "hard flaccid", it's shrunken all the time.
But it used to be 16 cm flaccid totally relaxed, now at best 13 cm.
Erect I used to be a solid 17.5 cm and lost in a few months 1.5 cm down to 16.
I'm only living this hell (have the disease) for 1 year and my case is considered "extremely mild" by the specialist with two very tiny areas of scarring not yet classifiable as "plaque".

2.  How can one preserve their stretched flaccid length, is this with VED, or traction?

I don't know yet! Couldn't start either cause it's still so damn inflamed! I hope after inflammation settles there
is something relevant left to apply traction / VED to!

3.  If you did lose length from stretched flaccid, how much did you lose or get back?

My bone pressed stretched flaccid used to be 18 cm and is now 16.5 cm, paradoxically 0.5 cm more than erect.
So a loss of 1.5 cm there.

emasculated.............I can't answer all your questions, but I have the same problems.  I lost probably at least 3 inches while flaccid, and actually, I believe I have gotten shorter since I first discovered the problem.  I have been using a VED on a regular basis without any advancement.  I assume this is normal with Peyronies.  It is a very depressing situation I know.  Not sure what to tell you.  Some people say that traction helps them, but I don't believe it helps everyone considering all the research I have done on this subject.  I have tried all the Oral Treatments without any improvement, but not giving up.

Yes, losing length is part of the problem.  Just keep working on it.  dplookin

emasculated... what do you mean with tiny scarring , for example 5mm ?

[powderpowder]

Dplookin....you lost 3 inches stretched flaccid length?!

Did you attack peyronies with pentox at first or took a while to find treatment options, and do you know how large your plaque is?

I "Attack" my Peyronies 3 years late with:
VED, Pentox, low dose Cialis and Ubiquinol.
Lost 6.5 cm erect, got back with the above treatment 1.5 cm.
Don't know how much flaccid I have lost, as I said before, never measured flaccid before Peyronies.

@Adam: It's complicated. Ventrally I have a palpable lesion which measures 3-4 mm according to the guy in Gießen (maybe we should pm?). Dorsally (topside) I have a scar which is 1 mm palpable and visible as "Gewebsanreicherung" / vague scarring in ultrasound measuring 1 cm. He assured me the latter is a thin scar which is hard to make out and not a plaque.

powderpowder...........I, dplookin, tried Pentox for a month but could not take it anymore due to Extreme Constipation and nothing would solve the problem........Do I know the size of my plaque?  No.  All I know is that I have an indention on the side and I bend in that direction a lot.  And, of course, it shrunk a lot.  For years I thought my length was getting shorter and shorter but I thought it had something to do with getting older.  I didn't realize that I had Peyronies until when Trying to get an erection, it was bent to the right and was a lot shorter.............I just said  " What happened?"...........I have used all the products which have been suggested which includes DMSO with Iodine but recently quit that due to the side effects of the DMSO..........I am still using the VED.  Not sure what direction to go at this point besides using the VED.  I don't have a lot of money so that limits what I can purchase..............the end.  dplookin

Since Peyronies I have gained flaccid length. It hangs very long now but this is because I have been manually stretching for nearly three years now, sometimes for long periods.
