I have been reading on here as a guest and finally decided to join. I have not been to a doctor and been officially diagnosed with Peyronie's, bit I definitely feel I have it. My penis curves up and to the left when erect. I can also feel the left side is harder than the right. I have started the oral supplements that can be purchased online. It has madee self conscious for sure. My wife has not complained about it but I am not happy with it. Sorry for long intro, but I feel that guys on here will understand.

Welcome to the forum and no apologies needed.  That was a rather short intro.  How old are you and how long ago did this start?  Do you have any memory of a trigger event?  Does it seem to be stable or progressing?

Have you discussed this with your wife?  Does she know about your concern?

Sorry for short intro. I am 36 and I feel I have had it for a while. I don't really have a specific time frame of when it happened. I have just always known it to be kind or like it. I feel it is stable and has not gotten worse in years. My plan is in the next month or so to go to the urologist and get an official diagnosis. I spoke to my wife about it and she was fine with me going to a doctor. She realizes it is my manhood and that I am not happy with the curve. I honestly felt at ease when I found this board and feel like everyone is on the same page not judging each other.  She's like a great support system on here for sure.

If it's stable that is great. Gives you the theoretical possibility to use traction or VED to counter a curve/bend. If you're mostly functional then you shouldn't be too worried and not take measures that make matters worse..
If it's stable chances are also high that the doc could identify if there's a plaque or scar tissue in the area.(ultrasound)

I am calling tomorrow to try and schedule my first appointment with the urologist, so hopefully when I do get in finally I can get the definitive answer that it is Peyronie's. I do not have any lumps, but I definitely feel like the left side is harder and does not stretch as well as the right side. At least then I can have a direction to go for sure. I am thinking RestoreX if he says traction.
