Peyronie worsened due to minor incident at night and inguinal hernia

[alex88]

Hello,

I am 37, living in Europe and this is my history:

teenage years - fibrotic tissue, mild hourglass deformity, neuropathic pain on the penis; all due to masturbation.

8 years ago - mild curvature, at the base, upwards and to the right; probably because I used to sleep on my stomach.

3 years ago - slept in tight pants one night, which hindered the nocturnal erection; woke up in a lot of pain; had painful erections and dorsal tension for months afterwards.
-no change in curvature.

2 years ago - a consult for inguinal hernia has caused me a lot of pain and inflammation in the inguinal and subinguinal area.
-after a few days I have noticed 2 indentations on the penis, a few cm away from the glans, lateral, one on the left and one on the right.
-afterwards the penis curved upwards and to the right, 20-30 degrees, at the point of those indentations.

I did traction by hand last spring for 2 months, 15 minutes/day. Applied force was maximum 0.5kg. Pain and curvature improved a bit.

I've recently started traction again, this time after using a heating pad at 40-45 degrees C for 30 minutes. Traction time is 30 minutes/day, spread out throughout the day. Same force is applied.

Currently the curvature is 20-30 degrees upwards and to the right. (a curve at the base and one a few cm away from the glans).
When 100% erect it's painful, especially when moving it upwards/downwards.

I consider a vacuum pump which I have bought, but haven't yet used (Soma Correct).

If it doesn't improve then I'll buy a penis extender.
My concern is that the neuropathic pain will flare up with it.
Another concern is the fixation mechanism at the glans. I am not sure which is the least traumatic.

Thank you for reading and best of health to everyone.
