Re: Low testosterone as a cause of Peyronie's

[hairpie28]

I am new here, first post, so if i mess this up... Anyway, am taking weekly Testosterone injections for about a month now.   100mg, .5 ml.  Last bloodwork done a few weeks back, i'm at low end of normal" on total, free, and BELOW chart on available "T".  

52 years old. Well,  5 years ago, if not even 3 .... still felt like a young stud, then all fell off a cliff, like overnight.  Developed Peyronie's all of a sudden.  Do not know if it was due to a catheter from 2 heart ablation procedure's in '13, for A-fib, or from some , shall i say , good hard sex.   My dad suffered from Dupredens, and had surgery on both palms many years ago.    I have tried various meds after research, and have been on those ordered from the Peyronies Disease  Institute, for about 4 months, no real benefits I've seen.  

Anyone have advice?  Thank you !!

hairpie28,

It would be interesting to know what meds you were taking around that time and other health symptoms you were experiencing.
That may present some clues to how it manifested for you.

Good Luck

Peyronies Disease  Institute is a scam in my opinion and Dr. Herazy is not a doctor.
It is a pure successful commercial site.
A search for Herazy on the forum main page will give you 37 posts, you may want to read them.
Read on the forum about the treatments forum members has done and see how it helped them.
Even 5 years from start is a long time, I was starting on Pentox, low dose Cialis and VED.

i was taking a couple of meds to limit A-fib, such as Rhythmal.  And Blood thinners, at low dose,  to limit risk of stroke, which is rare but possible.  Thats it, nothing different other than that.   So have not been on them for a couple years at this point.  Thanks for the reply .

James, thanks for reply.  I have read posts.    Maybe you are right there, but i can say when i went to see a urologist at the highly accredited MUSC hospital here in Charleston, i got no real advice, not much at all, other than go see my fellow doc for surgery.  Well, it's not that nearly that bad, but i was left feeling a bit hopeless.  Herazy actually called me back a few months ago, but now there is no Q and A specifically , or number to call that i see.

Almost all of us faced doctors that don't care and want you to go on the only way they are specialized in.
