How do you know what your pre-disease length was?

[Whathappened]

Most kids measure it at some point, but I don't imagine any know what BPFSL is.

I measured mine when I was a teenager. And then I measured it again a number of months ago.

So how do you know how much you have lost to this disease? I lost 2 inches I think. But how can I know to a science? I can know what I lose between a number of months ago and at any point in the future. Only if scientific measurements were taken as a teenager could you truly know. So how do you know?

BPFSL stands for bone pressed flaccid stretched length. I measured myself before this disease and always was a little obsessed with my size so I know for sure I had a BPEL (bone pressed erect length) of 18cm. Right now it's like 15cm and I also lost girth,but not exactly sure how much. I don't know about others but how I know I lost size is because the process was slow and painfull. Constant stinging sensation and an inflammed look of my penis and slowly buy surely scar tissue started to form mostly around the head of my penis. I wish I had a picture of my penis when I was 17 so I could know for sure, but even without it I can tell my penis changed simply because it's attached to me and I've been there all troughout the progression of the disease. Unless the rest of my penis would magically pop out I don't see it reversing to my old self.

You measured BPFSL. But I highly doubt most of us here did 30 plus years ago before any of us had any clue what peyronie's was or had any particular reason to do an scientific dick measurement.

So a bunch of people say they lost X inches. But how do they know precisely how much they lost?

Probably because before they got this disease their penis always was pretty much the same and they might have started measuring during the early signs of peyronies. Also, I like to believe most men are like me and know their penis very well. I can't speak for everybody though, and I also know some men exaggerate their penis size but being insecure and kinda critical of myself I never did that. Some others might feel like they lost more than they really did though.

Years ago I was 15 cm BPEL and it fit not easy in a toiletroll.
Now it schrunk to about 13.5 cm om the long side and fits easy in a toiletroll (till the bent).
I have a bend of almost 90 deg. left.
Five month with a Phallosan Forte gives not any straightness back, not a half degree.
The only positive thing is, I have no pain...! I hope that remains, because I'm not out of the acute phase as far as I can see.
