Guys, this will be a long post. But READ IT ALL. And yes, I do find this relevant to this post and thinks it adds value to the sharing of ideas. This will be one of the most comprehensive posts on the forum. I think many will benefit. It’ll share my experience, mixed with what I’ve learned and how my penis scar tissue forced me to grow as a person and spiritually.
Like all of us, in the beginning of my f'~c<+d up experience, I went through an existential crisis. I’ve always had a curved penis growing up, but a penile injury that was very painful forced me to become serious about learning Peyronies, and correcting my ego. Right after the injury I visited doctor after doctor, each giving me BS or no advice at all , which meant 0 help. At this point I still was experiencing pain and other weird bad symptoms. Eventually, a lump formed where the injury was. I read the forum, FOR HOURS on end looking for that one thing that can help end the horrible experience. I came across
pentox and after many crappy doctors, I found one that was genuinely wanting to help and prescribed me it. This whole time I was depressed, anxious, couldn’t sleep. I took the
pentox for 6 months. This was one of the things i tried, and believe me I’ve tried LOTS of crap. It did NOTHING. I took it everyday without failure
At this point , I was fucken confused, and questioning everything, Including my own life. For years I’ve been able to go to the doctor and get a quick fix and some help and trustworthy advice. Not this time. I had one doctor, who is world renowned (dr Goldstein) tell me that if my penis hurt so bad I couldn’t get an erection, that I should take a viagra and keep going. After that, I had trust issues with any advice given on this topic. I went from being a completely healthy young man to one with a messed up and painful penis. It was best said by psychologist Jordan Peterson in his book “12 rules for life” that it’s only when something goes wrong in our life that we realize that the simplicity of life is a lie. We question the universe When we get sick, Ill, injured, someone betrays us. We realize that what we took for granted , is not so simple at all, but instead very delicate.
At this point I realized there is no doctor that will save me, no medicine that will take all my pain and my lump away. (I think we all realize this at some point). But I wasn’t going to stand back and let this condition keep me down. I went on a mission to learn as much as I can about optimum health. And I realized that indeed, like life good health is NOT SIMPLE. There are so many mechanisms that determine our health . The human body does not work like a machine, we are not all the same. This is relevant to this post because just Like some of you, I used to say the same things. Things like “my friend eats like crap and he doesn’t have this, so diet can’t be a factor” “Lots of people injure their penis and they end up fine with a nice healed penis and no lump, so it must just be something wrong with me or my genetics”. These statements simplify human health WAY Too much. If those were true I can use the anecdote of my grandpa who live to 90 years old who pounded packs of beer daily to make a case that alcohol doesn’t cause disease in the body.
The truth is only 1% of the human population is born with a real genetic disorder. If you were not born with a painful and progressively curved penis out of the womb, you were and are only genetically predisposed to the peyronies condition, not doomed and destined for it. Yes, genetics play a part in who has peyronies, but there’s only triggers and pathways. For example, some women have the “breast cancer gene” that gives them a way higher chance of getting breast cancer in their lifetime. Does it mean theyre GENETICALLY DOOMED?? NO. However , if they do not take their health serious they are at high risk of paying a serious consequence of getting cancer. In my family, there is a diabetes issue, it runs in the family. Does that mean I’m genetically doomed and should submit and accept that I will get diabetes at some point In my life ? NO. And even if I were to get diabetes, it doesn’t mean that I can’t reverse it if I really wanted to. People, WE ARE NOT GENETICALLY DOOMED.
It is relevant to understand this, especially in this topic because it is not logical to believe that your lifestyle changes have zero chance of improving this condition. We can all agree that someone with diabetes can benefit from removing sugar from their diet. So you must consider believing that YOU CAN BENEFIT FROM CHANGES that you make. I’ve tried almost everything there is to try. H-100 cream, coq10,
Pentox,
ALC, Arginine, and lastly diet. Of all of these diet and fasting has made the biggest impact , did it heal me? No. Has it helped? Hell yes. If you think that one diet, one pill, removing or adding one food or type of food, is going to heal your penis you are crazy. Remember, it’s not so simple.
When first attempting treatments for my penis, I would always think in extremes. I went full on keto diet for many months , strict no breaking it. I would abstain for weeks at a time. I thought
pentox would save me. Because the keto helped, I went extreme with it. Because the fasting helped, I started fasting way too much. And I hit a wall. And from experience, I was still having pain, regardless of my strict keto or fasting or my extremely healthy diet. With peyronies, you’re walking on the tight rope of balance. I really believe there are key points of improving this condition. And they must be balanced. Before I close this out with the points, I’d like to say that if you are neglecting ANY of these points you are only hurting yourself. Take all of these points serious. These are not in order .
1) diet and lifestyle
First make sure you are getting all of your vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients. This is most important, it’s very hard to heal if you are malnourished. This takes effort, it will also cost you money. To me my health is more important than money
2)physical therapy and rest
This is a tight rope. I speak from experience when I say that too much abstinence is bad, I would go weeks without holding an erection and my pain would go away for a few days, only to have it come back for NO REASON. Your penis is a muscle, and it needs to be used , it it’s not used enough it will contract and become tight. Causing pain. I’ve also used it too much, not allowed the scar to heal without re injuring it. You must find this balance. Don’t be scared to, it’s natural to want to avoid pain. But healing is a painful process sometimes. I’m still figuring this out myself, experiemnting with rest and use times. Physical therapy like
traction and heat also help a lot , but like rest and use these just also be balanced.
3)beliefs and anxiety
I think this is the most important point. Anxiety shuts down your immune system completely. People who have eczema have flare ups when they’re stressed out. The mind is powerful, it creates hormones that react with your body. You’re making it very hard for hard for your body to heal itself when you’re always anxious. Besides diet working on my mental health and peace has been the biggest helper.
