Can i ask what size your heating pad is or could you even send  me a link to get an idea? Mine is like a flat cushion, big enough to sit on it. When i want to put it on the penis, it is a little bit difficult but i close my legs and hold it there in place

Thanks. Yeah i bought a home course for pelvic issues, pudendal, and weak errections. I stopped it, will have to continue. It's just 3 months of 2x 30 min a day but i couldn't finish it so far. This disease is bothering me so much yet i still did not do it. I will start it this time definetely and finish.

The strange things i even feel a tingling feeling, very similar to that in the penis and happening at the exact same time, in my right lower leg and foot. This was more at the begining of the disease, but still there. That is why i really think pelvic floor and lower back must be involved in a way

Yes I do. I will sit on the heating pad first for about 30 to 45 minutes for my pelvic muscles. Then I place it on top of my penis for about 30 minutes. When I was in chronic pain I would do this about 3 to 4 times throughout the day. Just don't burn yourself and never fall asleep with it on.

It sound too me like you are experiencing pelvic pain issues. This is where the musculature areas of the groin and pelvic region get unbalanced. I was diagnosed with that after I fell on a steel beam and broke my tailbone. I too experienced severe pain which I thought was in my prostate. It requires physical therapy so to speak by stretching and strengthening those muscle areas.

All flaccid pain. The worst Thing ever. Yeah when sitting the left testicles is pretty tight to the Base. But i have pain in the Other Side of the Base. The Side that gets shortened because from the Other Side There is pressure. Will try to Show it to my urologist

Thank you, i own a heating Pad. I sit on it and it can Help to relax the pelvic muscles. Do you Put the heating Pad on the Penis itself?

Cialis is safe and will provide added inflammation reduction and help with keeping your penis filled with fresh oxygenated blood. Starting traction soon should help with preventing any more curvatures and size reductions. Doing nothing will not help you out at this point. Being proactive with a plan of action is a must. Remember that this is a marathon and not a sprint. Also have you taken any preliminary measurements of your penis? It can help you in the long run for actually knowing just how much you have lost or regained back in your size if any.

Yep, very interesting. Also to add, the strength of my erection can determine my degree of curvature because of this. If I'm very erect, like after a week of abstinence, the curve can be straighter.. Never perfectly straight, maybe a tad bit less than 20 degrees. It can be at it's straightest 20 degrees or a tiny bit less. At most, it can be 30 degrees, if I haven't abstained, causing the indented area to flop more. I wonder if that is similar for you also.

I am honestly quite tempted to try an injection, leaning towards the P-shot. Intuitively it makes sense to me that the increased blood will force the contraction to expand and open up, but I haven't looked into the P-shot enough to do it yet. I'm doubtful that Xiaflex would be of benefit/appropriate for what we both have, even when ignoring the costs and focusing on effectiveness.

ETG surgery also would definitely fix the issue, at least cosmetically, but I'd rather try and open up the contraction than place a graft on top.  I guess if all else fails, ETG would be the answer.

I honestly have nothing to add to the discussion other than the fact that I have the same exact thing as you, as you can see on my signature, dent that makes the penis curve to the right and same exact thing as you are describing. The area that is dented makes my penis suffer from instability while erect and also folds over to the right.

I also have no palpable plaque according to 3 different urologists.

Some interesting stuff from that study.

I have read in literature that 'Our surgical experience has shown us that the area of indentation is a contracture, rather than an area of underlying corporal fibrosis.' https://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4708590/

As someone suffering from an indentation right where my penis curves, I wonder if my curvature is actually being caused by this 'contraction' at the indented spot, rather than a plaque itself, if that makes sense.

I have no palpable plaque, and when I am fully erect the indent feels as though it hasn't fully expanded like the rest of my erection, to the point where the skin at the curve/indent feels 'loose' because the shaft skin has had to stretch to accommodate for being in an erect state, although the indent hasn't expanded to 'fill out' the skin there. For reference I am circumcised so when fully erect my shaft skin holds tight, hence the significance of the skin being loose at the indent.

Imagine a sort of 'localised erectile dysfunction' in a sense, as in, the indented spot isn't becoming fully erect, thus causing my erection to 'flop over' (curve) to the right due to the indent being on the right. If I also manually hold my penis straight when I'm erect, the indentation becomes visible, whereas when I don't hold it straight the ident isn't visible as it sort of folds in on itself, causing only a curve to be visible. There is no resistance when I try and hold my erection straight.

The indented area also does not feel erect, it feels semi-erect at best, and not 'rigid' or firm like the rest of the erection. The difference in girth and rigidity when holding the erection straight to reveal the indentation also indicates to me that that area may be contracted/unable to fully expand or become fully erect, rather than covered in hard plaque. There is nothing palpable, it feels exactly like a semi erect shaft if I press the area. Nothing palpable when flaccid either.

I have no erectile dysfunction issues, and even with Tadalafil the indent does not expand, so I know it is not due to ED.

Would like to hear others thoughts on this.
