I have not been to a doctor yet, but after much online research I'm convinced that I have Peyronies.  Eight or nine month's ago I had not only never heard of this condition, I didn't know such a thing existed.  I seem to be textbook.  It was this past October.  I was 54 (now 55) when I first noticed a dent on the top right side of my penis.  I also noticed during masturbation that my penis seemed to feel a little bit different.  I couldn't really describe it.  It just felt different.  I searched the internet for "dent in penis" and soon found out what Peyronies disease is.  It wasn't long afterward that I noticed that the dent seemed to disappear and an upward bend started to form.

I don't remember any trauma or injury that could be the cause.  I have read that there is a theory that Peyronies can be caused by a bad reaction to some drugs.  I wonder if that could possibly be my case.  Last September I had a colonoscopy.  I'm wondering if my Peyronies could be a result of a reaction to the anesthesia.  The symptoms seem to start about a month after the procedure.

Doe's anyone have any thoughts on this?

I will post some pictures soon.  At this point I have about a 60 to 70 degree upward bend.  At first I did have mild pain with erections, but know that has mostly subsided.  I do plan on seeing a urologist soon.

The exact cause(s) of Peyronies are still the subject of much conjecture. There's are most likely a number of different triggers for the onset of the disease.

What you describe does, unfortunately, sound as if it it could well be Peyronies. I would suggest that you book an appointment with a Peyronies aware Urologist asap.

In the meantime, read all you can on the site. There is a wealth of accumulated knowledge about Peyronies here.

Scat,

If you are in the DC Metro, Johns Hopkins has a specialist in Peyronies and if you are military, Walter Reed has a specialist, Dr. Dean, who I see.
