Soft tissue mobilization

[burlingtondrill]

Did some searches and scanned through some threads, but haven't seen anybody post about what I've come across in terms of this self-treatment.  Saw user Runaway6's subject line from a few months ago about Soft Tissue Mobilization, and that closely describes what I discovered.   

I posted an into story in the Introduce Yourself board.  I had initial improvement in my late 20's.  I'm currently mid 50's.  Since my 20's, I've noticed what most describe as scar tissue or nodules in my corpus cavernosum.  I had some on the right side.  I also have a narrowing of the corpus, like someone put a rubber band around the corpus. I had some hard nodules mid shaft in that right corpus, and noticed one on the left side of the urethra near the base of the head of the penis.  Over the years, have tried to manually massage them between my fingers, but had little improvement. 

Not sure what compelled me to do this, but took a tool and used it to put pressure on the scar nodules. 

The best way to describe this procedure, is while you are mostly flaccid, use something that won't break.  At first I used a beer tumbler glass, which is pretty heavy duty glass.  Drinking a beer is probably where I came up with this idea. Probably not the safest thing to be using on the penis, glass, but it worked.

My thought was to try to break up the plaques/scar tissue using a rolling pin type method.  A real rolling pin is probably way too wide, but something narrower like the lip of the beer tumbler seemed about right.   I put the flaccid penis on a waist-high smooth counter top in my bathroom, then pressed it with the rim of the tumbler, and pulled and pushed my penis between the rim of the glass and the countertop.  I also tried using the bottom of the glass.  Doing so seemed to break apart the scar tissue and noticed what felt like the rubber band or knot had been loosened up on the right side. It allowed the diameter of the right corpus to seem less pinched off when I was erect.

I did this technique again today with a massage tool I picked up years ago at Bed Bath and Beyond.  Looked it up on Amazon, and it is called Frog Massager, item number B0CPBL8971.  I don't work for whoever makes that tool or Amazon, and you can probably use pretty much any household item instead.  Figured I'd mention that tool since it worked decent.  Basically was trying to find something that had low likelihood of breaking and was the right diameter.   A metal rod about 1/4" to 3/8" inch diameter would probably be better since a plastic massager can possibly break, but don't have anything like that laying around the house.  Actually, a thick Phillips screwdriver shaft might work well.  Just thought of that while writing this posting.  The only problem would be the handle might get in the way of getting it flat with the countertop unless you did this near a corner.

I pointed the four knobs of the massager away from me creating a tripod between the two knobs and the middle of the tool, then massaged the penis shaft back and forth about a 1/2 inch at a time.  Started mid shaft, lifting and working the tool toward the tip then back to mid shaft and working toward the base of the shaft.  This was done using the middle part of the tool against the shaft.  Basically like rolling or pressing dough.  It is somewhat painful, but never had more than a 4 out of 10 pain.   

I'm not a doctor, so take this post for what it is worth.  You should seek medical advice from a doctor before trying anything on yourself. 

That said, I experienced improvement, and noticed the narrowing of the right corpus now seems to be 95% or more expanded/improved.   I will probably do this again in the future, after letting things rest for a week or so, and see if I can get it above 95%.  Still feels like there may be a slight amount of tiny scar tissue in there, but nothing like the pea sized knots I had when I first noticed them. 

I think this technique basically breaks up the scar tissue and allows more blood flow in the corpus tissues.  Just wanted to post in case this helps others.

Learned that my brother's son may have Peyronies, so suspect this is a genetic condition.

Very interesting treatment option. Kind of like rolling out cookie dough.  Have you looked into using any traction or VED in your case? That is what is generally used to stretch and bring fresh blood into your penis. Yes peyronies can be genetically passed in the blood lines and it is linked to the disease called Dupuytren's contracture.

Have you continued with this technique? Any more promising results?

I would be interested in an update as well. How much pressure did you apply? I assume you didn't include the glans in this massage? And did you have any dents that got flattened out?
