Congenital Curvature or Peyronies Disease

[wayne999]

Does anyone know of any other forums where they have been using VED's or other devices for penis enlargement? I know some people mentioned here they thought they read people with curvatures post on these sites about their results.

wayne - Thanks for the additional info. From your comments it seems that you're not 100% of whether this issue has existed since birth. In a sense I don't find that all that surprising, as i'm sure many people feel the same way. Has the condition ever worstened in your view? If it has changed at all, that could be an indicator that this isn't congenital. If you haven't already, it's worth getting this looked into and diagnosed either way, as it could give you a better guide as to which treatments to seek out (if any).

On the topic of have things gotten worse, it's hard for me to say anything here either. The only thing that comes to mind is that earlier this year (before searching up on all this Peyronies Disease), i thought it was strange when i noticed the waisting effect when flaccid on occasion. I'm reasonably sure that if that was there for a while, i might have picked up on it earlier ?? But i cannot say 100% if it only just came up this year. So i'm pretty much stuck about what to do....I'll see another uro pretty soon so i'll try to get more input, but basically because of my age and the fact that i can't remember if i was ever straight, i'm guessing the uro will just jump to the answer of congenital curvature.  In some ways i actaully wish i had Peyronies Disease, because then i would give VED a try etc.

For all those guys that have a downward curvature, do you feel any lumps/plauqes on the underside of your penis?  Because i just have 2 chord-like things on either side of my penis (not on the underside) and yet i have a downward curve. What i've noticed is that where the waisting stops, it basically makes my penis become composed of almost 2 different cylinder-like structures, so that when the one at the top fills and expands more better than the other one, it gets (heavier?? not sure) and thus points downward.

Is congenital curvature usually because of a birth defect in the size of the chambers etc?  Because I have a waisting effect and some mild thickening in the tissue in the bottom 1/3 of my unit (as well as what i think are 2 plaques on either side). Is it possible to be born with thickening (fibrosis?) or plaques?

I am unsure about whether i have congenital or Peyronies Disease.

I would think it very, very unlikely that a person would be born with plaques. Has your condition existed for as long as you can remember? If so, then it's likely congenital, which from the perspective of stability, is a good thing.

Yes it has, but i believe that masturbating by lying on the ground for many years when i was very young caused the curvature. In descriptions of congenital curvature, it says there is no scarring. So i assume for these cases there would be no palpable plaques/nodules etc? But in my case i can see and feel a few chord-like objects that feel hard when pressed.

Yeah, for me, if that really is what I have, I just want to know what treatments are available besides surgery.  It seems like there is even less you can do than if it was peyronies!

It ain't complicated.

Congenital means you were born with it.

If it "happened", it's Peyronie's until proven otherwise - pain is usually a part of it but not always.

Anyone whose penis takes a new shape owes it to themselves to go to a urologist!

As for straightening out a congenital curvature, those who try to enlarge their penises say it is hard to do with their techniques (VED, traction, jelqing). But perhaps it has simply not been expolred enough.

Willis    I guess what your saying is if you dont have palpable plaque you can fill you dont have peyronies! Iv never felt nothing in my penis no pain just  the sharp bend and shortening iv had about 6 years never been to uro.Thanks

[Warthog]

Me as well!!  After I found out that I didnt have Peyronies and now in which I hope its a congenital curve instead and not something else.  I'd really be interested in knowing any treatment for it.  Isnt the nesbit procedure a surgical operation still?  I dont want ANY knife near mine!!  I'm hoping a traction or VED will prove to be hopeful!

Thanks and good idea Willis!

Since several members have posted recently with questions about a congenital curve, I thought maybe this topic would warrant it’s own thread on this forum. I must admit that I m not familiar with this topic and my own interest has increased in this area. I did some quick research on the topic and came across the following points:
1. Congenital curves are from a birth deformity
2. Congenital curves are generally a result of a difference in size or shape of the Corpora Cavernosa
3. Congenital curves can be in any direction (left, right, up, or down)
4. Curves can be as much as 90 degrees !!
5. While not painful, congenital curves can cause discomfort during sex with your partner

So now it is at least more clear to me why there is so much confusion between congenital curvatures and someone with Peyronies Disease. Both cases would present themselves in a very similar way. I think the defining point is that Peyronies is defined as having a palpable plaque on the tunica. I also discovered that many men have had straightening of congenital curvature and the technique is primarily a variation of the well known placation or Nesbit procedure. Excision and grafting would not be a surgical option as there is no plaque to excise.

I think it would lso be interesting to determine if other Peyronies therapy techniques like stretching and VED use would lead to any straightening of a congenital curve. I’m interested in other’s thoughts.
