Hi all,

Long time infrequent lurker, even longer time sufferer.

I'm 32 years old and have suffered from this condition for close to if not longer than the last 20 years. As far back as I can remember actually. Pretty certain it was caused by an unorthodox masturbation habit I had as a child with maybe a combination of tight underwear. Needless to say I've been embarrassed by it always

Thankfully I've been able to have sex and have at least one long term relationship but this condition has never not been a psychological problem to say the least. ED has played a factor that im sure was predominantly psychological but may have some physical issues as well. I take cialis daily at this point but recently have had some issues climaxing and maintaining an erection with a new lady friend that has complicated what would seem to be a really promising relationship early on, leading me to the point I'm at now where I'm ready to take a step towards possibly having this fixed with surgery.

I've tried traction but have not been consistent with it and had a few scares with some lost sensitivity that thankfully came back. Based on how long I've had this for i don't think it would be very effective for me anyway.

Luckily I have above average length, so plication might not have as much downside as others. However it seems as though almost the entire left side of my penis is "weak" or has "dead spots" even when erect. I can feel two creases one below the glands and one at the base. The right side is completely normal, so I'm concerned with the idea of cutting into the healthy part and think it might be safer to focus on the already damaged area.

If anyone has any thoughts regarding my situation or can recommend any doctors in the Boston area it would be much appreciated.

Thank you all and my empathy extends to everyone suffering through this awful condition. Reading through here throughout the years has helped me cope in knowing I'm not alone so thank you

Since you have been a long time lurker then you know by know our general recommended approaches. So is hard to comment without further information which may be why no one has responded yet. If truly Peyronies then there are things to try prior to surgery. But if your curve is congenital, or it is considered sever (more than 70 degrees, then yes I would consider surgery.
