How Long After an Injury Before Symptoms Appear?

I am self-diagnosed - with an upward bend appearing about 4 months ago. It briefly got a little better, and is now around 25 - 30 degrees. I have been in contact with my GP, and am waiting for a follow-on appointment with a specialist.

I am not aware of any recent injuries, but I had a problem with a catheterization more than 15 years ago. I had multiple catheters in a short period of time, and lots of pain. Could such an old injury lead to my problems now?

Hi KJSpion, welcome to the forum  :)
catheterization could be a marker for Peyronie's, I think member NeoV thinks there is a correlation. I also believe that biofilm can develop leading to prostatitis due to catheter use  :(

Hope the GP appointment goes well  :) meantime keep some pics of your penis on your phone to help with visit, flaccid state and erect, hope your are pain free.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

I agree cathertization could cause microtraumas and resultant scarring, but a 15 year delay seems unlikely unless any prior scarring was recently exacerbated to the extent it now caused a curve.

Thanks for the info. I'm new to all of this and trying to sort through it all. My GP has suggested that I wait a bit longer since the bend is not too severe and there's a chance it can still correct on it's own.

She did mention something interesting though. I have been taking Primidone for a neurological problem for a long time. She says there may be a connection between that medication (barbiturate) and Peyronies.

Thanks again,
KJ

Don't wait, most worsen with time and without treatment.  Start VED or traction, pentox and low dose daily cialis at a minimum.
