Quote from: sesaig77 on November 09, 2023, 02:27:28 PMHey guys, quick update. Mostly great news.
Saw my urologist in London today. He was pleased with the Ultrasound Doppler results. The radiologist who saw me was also very capable. I mentioned him my experiences this weekend with Viagra and told me not to worry about priapism, extremely unlikely anything happened to especially if I had sex the day after. Mentioned that if I further wished to pursue the Issue a MRI with contrast can be done and a ultrasound while erect, although in his opinion unnecesary. I understand both sides of the arguement. The fact I had such strong erections this weekend under normal doses, doctors analysis and reassurance makes me therefore conclude that mechanically performing well and nothing is damaged considerably, although pain persists and slightly reduced EQ persist.
Therefore, the focus of my investigation has shifted. Doctor and radiologist both confirmed they could not feel any plaque in the area of tenderness (Never had the base curvature examined, really slight and not painful now) and not see any damage with ultrasound doppler testing. He suggested to take my mind of things, and said he could potentially prescribe me something for pain, but due to my age and otherwise healthy state, he did not think it would be best to do so. Did not ask what medication he was talking about, might message his secretary to elaborate. On my side, I have quit pornography and masturbation, as the area of pain is suspiciously close to where I would grip to masturbate, in hopes of the flaccid pain dissapearing (Driving me insane!) Hopefully, staying off porn and masturbation alleviates both my pain and increases my EQ in a relatievly short time frame, otherwise I will be inclined to do the MRI with contrast and ultrasound doppler under erection.
Wanted to vouch for Mr Hussain Alnajjar, a very capable and compasionate urologist whose been attending me in London. Hopefully everything starts getting progressively better and I can report better news next week again.
Thank you everyone.

I am concerned that my nighttime erections are getting weaker and my erections going away more quickly. About 1 year ago I did a series six of P shots and that really helped my erection quality stay at a 5/5. I also take a vitamin formula called Cardio Miracle that is full of L Arginine and nitric acid for good blood flow. I just started to take gingko/ginseng, horny goat weed, and yohimbe to try and improve the erections. My wife and I went almost a year without having sex at the beginning of this journey and have recently started to enjoy intercourse again. And now that the erections seem to be weakening it has me very anxious. Even more so because she is still in her mid twenties. I have not taken any prescription pills for this because I do not want them to be a necessity for the rest of my life. I am not sure what to do.
Quote from: DaneS89 on December 29, 2023, 05:04:48 AMAn open question to anyone reading this and comfortable enough to answer - do any of you here agonise and obsess about the (possible) sexual side effects of antidepressant medications, especially within the context of peyronies disease? That is if you take them of course, and if so, I'd be curious to know, were you on them already or did they enter the scene post-peyronies to help manage the emotional toll of the condition? Do you deem them as a 'necessary evil' of sorts? Or if you don't take them but could benefit from them, is the refusal based on an unwillingness to take any risks when it comes to sexual function?
For me personally, I am plagued by these questions and doubts. Stop them, switch them, leave them unchanged? I have become fascinated with 'researching' the pharmacological profiles and actions of all the different antidepessant meds and how they might affect sexual functioning. There doesn't seem to be a perfectly 'pro-sexual' antidepressant drug out there except for maybe Trazadone which isn't available here. The two that I have settled on are known to be fairly 'safe' options with regards to preserving male sexual function, and one of them is even reported to enhance it. I'm probably alone in having this particular interest, but if on the rare chance I'm not it'd be cool to discuss this more in depth.

The curvature is not significant and there's no problems with sex or erections (except in the morning...see below), however, ever since then the main problems have been loss of sensation during ejaculation (no contractions) and significantly less sperm volume. Starting 4 years prior to that I was taking warafin (a blood thinner) and atenolol (a beta blocker) due to heart disease but during a check-up, my cardiologist said I could stop taking them, but since then there's been no increase in sensation It's possible the beta blocker contributed to it, but I doubt it because I never had an issue with loss of sensation before the peyronie's. I had my testosterone checked a few years ago and the result was that it was in the low end of normal. I asked my doctor for a prescription to increase it but she refused because she said it was normal.
From a google search, I have a condition called ejaculatory anhedonia, and one of the causes has something to do with the nerves between my brain and my penis, which I don't understand why because I'm not depressed about the peyronie's (or anything else), so I think the cause is the peyronie's, however, I don't want surgery for fear of making it worse and from posts I've read, I'm not convinced the other treatments work.
The treatments for ejaculatory ahendonia include prescription drugs and one (there may be more) supplement called Yohimbine, therefore, I'll at least try a supplement. From a case study I read, Yohimbine was very successful for treating it but only when used with other drugs, but I couldn't find in the article which ones.
Has anyone on this forum experienced loss of sensation/no contractions during ejaculation, and if so, what, if any, drugs/supplements did you try for treatment and what were the results?
Also, before the peyronie's, I frequently had morning erections, but no more. I have a box with numerous supplements I've tried, but nothing works...any suggestions for natural supplements?
Quote from: SDP on April 10, 2024, 10:33:41 AMThe amount of my ejaculate has decreased significantly since my Peyronie's was diagnosed. I've tried various supplements over the years but none have worked.
Any suggestions for supplements that have worked?
