My first post and introduction. . .

[Jack Johnston]

Last year around Christmas I had a bilateral hernia operation.  While the operation went well with the hernia, the blood from the operation pooled down my legs, into my scrotum, and penis.  My ball sack was the size of large softball and my dick was the size of a large cucumber.  This condition persisted for some 3 weeks.  I went to my hernia doctor and asked him about it, and he said things would get back to normal.  Well, over time, the blood absorbed back into my body and the swelling went down.  However, over this past year my penis has gone through several manifestations of what I have learned is Peyronies syndrome from 7.5 inches down to 4 inches with an upper bend and segmentation along with general gnarliness.    While I am waiting for my visit with the Peyronies specialist, I have heard that the syndrome is caused by damage to the inside of the penis.  

Question:  Has anyone in this forum heard or experienced the same condition after an operation with the diagnosis that the condition was brought about by an operation's peripheral side effect of pooling blood.  

The irony of all this is that I had the operation to get rid of the hernias, so that I could better sex with my wife.  Now that that is taken care of, I don't even want to have sex now because of my diminished capabilities and look.

Jack,

I am sorry to hear about your experience. If you haven't seen a urologist that specializes in peyronies, do so. If I were you, I would find a good malpractice attorney because if your disfigurement is related to your surgery, you should be well compensated.

Nutritionally, consider that you might be Magnesium Deficient.  Peyronie's (PDS) is a fibrosis condition, and most such conditions seem to be associated with Magnesium Deficiency.  Modern farming techniques strip Magnesium out of our food supply.  Magnesium Chloride is a good place to start.  Magnesium Citrate is more bioavailable, and there is even a topical solution which might work better still.

This condition has many varieties, and what works for one may not work for you.  Don't despair if you don't have success right away.  Patience is key.

Traction and VED (Vacuum Erection Device) are both tools in this battle.  Old Man is the resident VED expert.  In either traction or VED, caution is important.  Introduction of "new" injury will only make things worse.

Good Luck,
