New member introduction

[scubasteve]

I just registered as a new member and already know this forum will be helpful for me. I am a 62 year old male with self-diagonsed Peyronie's Disease. The symptoms began approximately 3 or 4 months ago beginning with my noticing an upward curve of my penis. My wife and I do not have a very active sex life but do have a loving and caring relationship. I continue to masturbate on a regular basis and have worried that this is what's causing the Peyronie's. At this point, I'm relying on internet research to help me cope with the condition and become as knowledgeable as I can re: treatment options. I have a female family doctor and I'm not yet comfortable with the idea of consulting with her. Instead, I'm thinking of just self-referring myself to a urologist with experience in dealing with this condition. I'm forcing myself to masturbate less frequently thinking it will help the situation but I'm now beginning to think I should just bite the bullet and go see a specialist. I'm not experiencing a lot of discomfort with ejaculation but do have some moderate pain with an erection. Anyway, at the very least it's nice to know there are others as frustrated with this disease as I am.

scubasteve,

You definitely should seek the advice of a urologist who deals with Peyronie's. Not many urologists have a clue about Peyronie's.

The protocol for dealing with Peyronie's involves the immediate prescription of Pentox. If you have Peyronie's, then any urologist will put you on it immediately.

The members of this forum will chime in and advise you to select some supplements as well. Please listen to them and search this website for information that can help you.

If you are not masturbating in a way that is harsh on your shaft then I personally would not recommend you stop. You need to maximize blood flow to the penis and regular sex or masturbation is important.

If you do not have a good libido then I HIGHLY recommend you have your doctor (any doctor) check your testosterone levels and cholesterol levels. You need to have a high testosterone level to battle this disease. You need regular exercise. Check out the supplements I take at https://www.peyroniesforum.net/index.php/topic,2942.msg41326.html#msg41326 and you'll find your libido will rise. Add Cialis and/or Viagra to the formula and, if you need testosterone replacement therapy, I'm pretty sure you will be attacking your wife all the time. I went from having no interest in sex to spending all my time looking for escort girls to satisfy my craven lust.

The worst thing you can do at this time is to wait. You have a greater chance of stopping and reversing Peyronie's in the early stages.

Feel free to ask any question. Someone here will have an answer for you.

Good luck and God bless.

It's not at all a popular opinion but my personal take is pain during erection is usually a sign to give it a rest for a little bit.  Try taking 2 weeks without masturbating and see if that helps at all.  Other people have the strongly held belief that bloodflow is important but for me pain is the bodies way of saying 'hey there, you're doing something that's hurting you'.

Definitely go see a doctor asap.  Definitely see a peyronies specialist.

By all means, take a break from masturbating and see if that helps. All I know is that when I stop masturbating, that's when my penis hurts a bit. I try to keep the best blood flow into it as possible.

I continue to masturbate on a regular basis and have worried that this is what's causing the Peyronie's.

If regular masturbation caused Payronies it would stand to reason that many more men would have it. I don't think your mastrubating has anything to do with it.

But as a side note.... why not involve your wife in masturbating you. My wife told me early on in our marriage that I was robbing her of an opportunity to bring pleasure to me.

Hi new guy here.  I had my penis accidentally bent in half during intercourse about 6 months ago. Some real intense pain at first but like a guy I went ahead and finished. Then a few weeks later I got the hour glass shape and it curved down and a little left when erect and was getting shorter. Along with more pain when the end bent down a little more each time I got erect. And I could feel a hard nodule in the area where it got bent in half.
Went to my family Dr. who sent my to a Urologist. The fist thing he said was that he has Peyronies too. So I thought good, he can give me some good advise, he knows first hand what Im going through. YEAH RIGHT. His advise was to take vitamin E and give it a year or so and see if that helps or not. REALLY! Im paying him to give me lame ass advise like that. So I started looking online a lot more seriously for help. I read lots of articles and decided to order Serracor NK and Serra RX80 and took that along with vitamin E and vitamin D supplements.  Went through a months supply and have not seen any results at all.
Just found this site and I am hoping I can find some alternative methods that help. Please Help!  If you have had any good results I would appreciate hearing from you.  Thanks Curly
