Hey guys, can anyone give me some advice on what I should be doing? First off, my symptoms include: slightly painful erections (more just an unusual feeling), 15 degree curve right when erect, and hard flaccid sometimes when I'm cold. I did traction by hand for a few hours this weekend then my hourglassing was extremely bad during hard flaccid. If I can avoid hard flaccid by not being cold my penis looks more normal though. Do you guys think traction isn't an option for me? Can anyone relate to having deformities when flaccid but not when erect? Specifically hard flaccid. I've heard from some people on the forum that these will begin appearing in my erect state. If that happens I can't even imagine what it would look like because my hourglassing at its worst during flaccid is so bad. I'm starting to think besides diet and pills, my only other option is VED. I'm 16 and I think asking my parents for a penis pump would be a slightly awkward conversation, but the alternative is probably worse. Peyronie's is really taking a toll on me mentally, but I'm trying to keep a positive but realistic viewpoint on this thing. But I'm worried that hourglassing will begin appearing in my erect state. Thank you for any advice
From many papers I can say that traction is always an option when done right.

My penis is curved flaccid and while erect.
I'm hoping everything your experiencing is normal. When our body becomes cold it is a normal physiological response for the penis to retract. Many guys have some degree of a cogenital curve, which your 15 degrees could be, maybe just keep an eye out for any changes or consult a urologist experienced in peyronies if very concerned.
I read those papers and despite it saying that traction is good for correcting curves, both times I've done traction, my flaccid hourglasssing has gotten worse. I really hope that traction is still an option for me but I'm starting to think it will just make things worse. I'm starting to think I might have a curve on my right, a curve on my left, and hourglassing because I have hourglassing when flaccid, and when I am half erect I curve left. But when I'm fully erect it curves right. Pain in flaccid and erect has gotten worse. I also have painful veins. It's driving me crazy that just two months ago, I had a normal dick that just curved a little to the right. Now it seems that everyday a new problem comes up or something gets worse. The people on this forum give me hope though!
Can you see a doctor?
Yeah I'm planning on figuring that out this weekend with my parents. I don't think their are any Peyronies specialists anywhere in my area though
