I am experiencing a physical anomaly and I thought maybe you guys could shed some light on me and maybe enlighten me so I can figure out what is truly going on. I think I have proximal corporal fibrosis. My symptoms include hourglass shap and appearance of constriction when cold and flaccid and when about 20% erect, new spider veins emerging and visible pulsating arteries, penis slightly thinner at base when fully erect which is also a symptom of proximal corporal fibrosis. I saw a doctor diagnose a man online with proximal corporal fibrosis because he had hourglass deformity in partial erection and noticed a new emergence of veins and was thinner at the base. THE EXACT 3 NOTICEABLE symptoms I have. Understandably this freaked me out and I broke down and cried and have been severely depressed almost close to suicide. Now the thing is I have a completely working penis but am convinced it won't stay that way as corporal fibrosis is pretty severe. My question is first what are the main symptoms of corporal fibrosis, I still get raging morning wood erections would this be possible if I really have proximal corporal fibrosis? I really think I have this because I used to twist my penis or hump on it and I would feel something like move in the shaft and would be pleasurable. Was I damaging my penis and could this be the root of the problem? I have never experienced pain could I have really damaged myself severely doing so over the years without my penis ever hurting after or any bruising or any indication of injury???? Please I am desperate to find help what do you think is going on can this stuff be normal and not indicative of anything? Someone with knowledge give me a comprehensive diagnosis because I need help.

Brenman,

It is possible to injure the tissue without pain.  All that is necessary to stimulate a fibrosis like scarring is for the tissue to "perceive" injury.

If I were in your position, I would look towards the scar tissue softening supplements and make sure that the tissue gets exercised daily...perhaps more than once a day.  By "exercised" I mean become erect...not necessarily receive pleasure, and certainly not achieve orgasm.  In fact, I would avoid daily orgasm as it can lead to insensitivity which may encourage too rough of manipulation.  There is a balance to seek.  

Also, find a competent uro with Peyronie's awareness and get in the habit of paying extremely close attention to your penis' overall condition.  You are early enough in this condition to proactively prevent progress...hopefully.

Hi Brenham,

I've been diagnosed with corporal fibrosis by at least one urologist over here in the UK, so I thought I'd list my symptoms then you can compare. Firstly, let me say that it's probably a good sign that you still get 'raging morning wood'. I would keep your eye on this -  if your nocturnal erections become noticeably less frequent and/or hard over the forthcoming months this could be a sign that your condition is progressing. I don't get frequent or hard nocturnal erections and I believe this is both a symptom and cause of my fibrosis.

So anyway, symptoms - very infrequent nocturnal erections and never hard. Severe erectile dysfunction. Penis can feel small and lumpy/hard when flaccid. I retract / shrink dramatically during even slight exercise and / or cold weather and the glands go extremely pale during these times. To feel, my penis insides have a 'woodiness' to then, which gets more noticeable as you move up the stem from the body to the glands, being most pronounced just below / behind the glands. To quote the above urologist, the shaft will not compress at this point i.e. when squeezing the penis at the bass you can feel the veins inside, not so further along under the glands where it is most 'woody'. Presumably this is the area where the fibrosis is worst. I can get an erection using cialis 20mg, but gravity plays it's part. I get better erections when on lying on my stomach or on my side then when I'm on my back.

I have no history of injury, priapism or pain so the pros don't know how this has come about. My point is these things can occur without any obvious cause so I wouldn't beat yourself up about your masturbatory habits (but now you suspect there's a problem, why not go gentle for the time being).

I agree with Kuaka, research some supplements and find a good urologist. I believe many supplements used by 'classic' peyronies sufferers also apply to corporal fibrosis so that would be a good starting point. I'm currently trying coq10 and acetyl L-carnitine. Not been using them for long, a month or so maybe so no obvious changes yet, These things take time. L-arginine can help with blood flow but it sounds like you don't have a problem there. Come back to the forum if you find something that works.

I'm 35 and have been dealing with this crap for 10 years. I've also felt suicidal from time to time. I take some consolation from that the fact that I'm not the only one.

Good luck.

Don't mean to sound negative but how can any of us provide you a comprehensive diagnosis? You really need to consult a doctor who specializes in male sexual function.

Since you say you get good morning erections, then this clearly indicates that "mechanically" everything is working. And I would never trust an online diagnosis of this type.

You seem to have describes the symptoms, I have the same, and it has grown over the last six  years. If everything is still working that it is probably better to just  well, use it.
I agree so many say it was trauma at som distant time, but I cannot remember having the slightest injury, 'down there'
Fibrosis seems to slowly progress. If it is symmetrical, and cause thinning at the base,  you might  not get a bend and it remains straight but full of that fibrous stuff, as is mine.
I was thinking  in this manner: if the fibrosis grows from itself, rather than starting in new places,  a symmetrical excision of all of it,  that is to say removal of a complete  segment  from the corporal  tubes would be better  than trying to straighten it or eventually letting it take over completely-  which is what happen  if anything is left behind.     I have heard of penile disassembly to remove the corporal tubes completely   which is commonly done to have inflatable prothesis inserted after erections are lost.  These  are not always successful, but a very short  penis without the two corporal tubes,  consisting of a  working glans still sensitive and very close to the body would still be able to produce the necessary sensation for climax.  Removing the corporal tubes would prevent fibrosis spreading and there would be no scaring as nothing  would be repaired.   Intercourse would not be practical,  but full sensations would be achievable. It would look small but straight and fairly normal. I have only seen one picture of this on the internet, but I have managed to loose the link to it.  
It wont be long before men know nearly as much as a  woman.

Removing the corporal tubes would not prevent fibrosis. The fibrosis forms on the organ tissue that surrounds the corporal tubes.

Thank you for your reply  LWillisjr
I was guessing I suppose.
I guess any remaining fibrosis just  spreads slowly.
I have now got details of my first visit to the urologist,  and it was ten years ago.( I thought it was four of five!)  Since then it  has slowly grown, so to speak to cover about three quarters of the shaft.  I suppose a removal of a segment, so that there is no scaring to restart a bend, it is uniform,  would be better than nothing.
