Welcome CharlieWilson to the forum and thank you for some info on your case. Please fill out your signature line -->Signature Line . Then please download and study our survival guide -->Survival Guide. This will give you an education regarding peyronies and it's different treatments.

Getting a correct diagnosis is the first starting point in this. Hopefully you can ask your urologist for an erect ultrasound. This can give a clear picture of blood flow and hopefully reveal and plaques or scar tissue. Then decide on a plan of action.

I would first say that you personally need to take some measurements of your penis. Length, girth, stretched length etc.. This is a baseline in case you star loosing size.

Usually traction and VED is what a lot of men use to try and treat their peyronies - read up on these two.  You are in the early or acute stage now and hopefully it wont last long. Also getting a handle on your emotions as being worried will do you more harm than anything.

Study the forum as you will get an understanding that this disease does not need to define you and can be successfully overcome. The mindset you need to adopt is that this is a marathon and not a sprint.
