Start of a long journey I think

[wastedyouth]

Hello everyone, I recognised I had a bent penis when my I had sex with my wife after a break of 3 weeks or so, this was approx. 3 months ago and was a huge shock and was obviously noticed by myself (even though the lights were off!!) and obviously my wife. I have since bitten the bullet and took myself to the doctors and eventually a urologist in the local hospital. He has asked me to take approx. 400mg of vitamin e and to take pictures of my penis, he would like me to return in approx. 3/4 months to see how the condition has progressed. I have been taking vitamin E for 3 weeks now and have only managed to take some pictures which really depresses me. In the 3 week 'break' I did not have sex this condition seemed to come from nowhere!! Whilst I'm getting on with life, I have a busy job and two kids, this this a major black cloud that follows me, my sex life has virtually gone, it is hard to look at it myself never mind have any intimacy with my wife, BTW, she has been great and is fully supportive. I have been thinking of adding a traction device to aid me getting back to normal, any advice is greatly appreciated.

Wastedyouth,

Do not see your urologist again. Regular urologists have ancient and outdated concepts of the disease, vitamin E does close to NOTHING as you will soon learn. As soon as you possibly can you have to act now and see a Peyronie's specialist. There you can get an ultrasound and a prescription to pentox.

The primary line of treatment is pentox, VED therapy, traction, coQ10, and daily low dose Cialis. Other oral treatments and procedures/injections exist as well but surgery should be avoided unless absolutely necessary.

In my own case traction (manually and carefully) and rest mostly corrected my deformity and issues.

There is hope for you! Locate a specialist right away. Keep in mind that many of us have had major improvement and in my case a near reversal of symptoms. Stay strong and research these forums. Hope to hear your voice on here.

As NeoV says, your Urologist is a waste of time, regarding Peyronie's anyway. Vit E wil not harm you, but will do nothing to cure you. At this stage it should be cautioned that there is no known guaranteed cure. However, significant improvements in your condition are definitely possible.

Blood flow to the penis is essential. Pentox, low dose Cialis, and Citruline Malate will all help with this.

It is vital that you start the fight against this now!  Waiting, as this Uro suggests, is the very worst thing you can do. Spontaneous resolution of Peyronie's is not unheard of, but very rare.

Yes, a familiar story--sorry!  I think for many of us, the beginning of this journey is a life transition--and in the middle of kids, jobs, and the craziness of a busy life.  Hang in there.  Finding this site was a helpful place for me to start accepting and then deciding on some proactive steps.  Glad your wife is supportive.  Many of us have experienced a lot of grace and ongoing support in our marriages.  I found it important to invest time and energy in our sex life since this started, and refuse to let the disease take away from our intimacy.  My wife and I have never been so consistent and disciplined about our time together since this started about 4 years ago. (In fact we both try to take some time off work during the day once a week to enjoy sex when we're not both exhausted at night.  With the rushing home and back to work it sometimes feels like having the drama and excitement of an affair without any of the downsides.)  In many ways these years have been one of the happiest periods of time in my sex life despite all the stress, disappointment, and pain of peyronies.
