I got a dent around this time last year and around last september I started pumping very aggressively, holding full erections for up to an hour a day for a month or so. I never felt any pain but did feel sore frequently while holding.

I know the forums warned not to overpump but I was very stressed out and desperate from developing a dent.

After a month of this I basically found out my erections stopped being rigid and I got really bad ED, it's beem like this since last September.

I'm really not sure what to do in this situation, I think I need to get diagnositic imaging to see what is going on down there, however the wait is very long.

In the meantime I've been being as healthy as I can be and taking the standard supplements with no real improvement.

Onset of pain in March 2021
Progressed to loss of girth to dent under the glans left side

Been doing daily heat,traction,pentox,ved,cialis since initial onset of pain

Currently still experiencing pain and dent unchanged

hey man,

I think I am in a similar boat, not regarding the VED therapy but having done things that might have lead to aquiring erectile dysfunction.

in my case I started also being very aggressive with my dick stretching and bending it even in erect state because I hoped id get rid of the dent and also I have OCD and thats not a good combination either.

i also used finastiride which is a hair loss drug, allegedly well tolerated but I was so lucky to get ED from it, a possible side effect. however, because I was so upset and lost, I did not discontinue the medication for another 3 months so 4 months in total. despite having ED I just continued using and it may be very well possible that this way I have caused persistent or irreversible damage to my penis.

I got off of the drug 3 weeks ago and immediately started a daily Cialis therapy. normally that gives me unwanted erections, night time erections that are very hard. this time it gives me nothing. I am on a very high dose of Cialis and while I can get an erection, it is only with manual stimulation and if that subsides I will go soft within seconds. I have not had morning erections in months and I have no nocturnal erections. I can not get erections by thought or imagery anymore either.

this is so scary to me, I do not think it is far fetched that I have given myself corporal fibrosis and accompanying veno occlusive dysfunction. I think Cialis does not help because it is so advanced and the smooth muscles must have been destroyed already. not sure

but I feel you, the waiting is unbearable. but I think the diagnostic tools are at least good enough to give a proper idea of what is going on. stay strong until then and you are not alone

You definitely need some tests ran to see what is going on. Eating healthy is a plus and wont hurt you. Exercise is also an added health benefit. Anxiety can cause us to do desperate things and can harm us in more than one way. Remember this is a marathon and not a sprint.

I'm also worried about injections for ultrasound, as I have peyronies and are clearly prone to injuries

I wouldn't be to worried about the injection for the ultrasound. I had it done when I was in the acute stage and it didn't make things worse. Our minds can play tricks on us if we let it.
