Just another update from me, some potentially and tentatively good news, I appear to have maybe started to see some positive changes.

Using the words tentatively and maybe here for a reason; because I know how psychological lenses can change the way we perceive things, as well as natural fluctuations.

That said, EQ appears to have increased to the best it's been for probably half a year, still not where it was, but better. NTE's have been getting better over the last few weeks but this has now translated into the "real world".

I would say I've regained maybe 5% lost length and my deformity is maybe 5% better. Again, using the word maybe, and we're taking minute amounts here. I'd say maybe we're not looking at as much of a sharply angled deviation any more, but more of a curve. The difference is only slight, but things appear to be looking better. 5% in 7 weeks though, I'll take that.

If nothing else, I appear to have come to the end of any negative progression.

I've decided to start back on CoQ10 and L-Citrulline; I stopped taking them during a time when my erections were still painful but since that is no longer a concern, I feel that getting the blood flowing better is only going to help things along. I tried Cialis but it messed with my ears so this is the best I can do.

Still not been able to wear the PMP for longer than 2 hours a day however, but spurred on by the above I'm going to try and make more time by using the belt during the day, combined with my evening 2 hour stint with the rods.

I'll check in again in a couple of weeks.

If you get an implant, your results will vary depending on your surgeon.  Assuming you get an implant by a specialist who does implant surgery, as more than 50% of his procedures.  A lesser surgeon can be lucky or make a total mess of your surgery.

The implant will go from about 1/3 of the way into your glans to deep in the body behind your scrotum.  All of that area will fill out rock solid when you inflate your implant.  It is important to understand, however, that you will get no natural erection in your two main penile chambers.  Since you do seem to get erections now, you will likely still get erections in the smaller chamber (Spongiosum), which is the underside or belly of the penis and the glans.  I say "should"because it is unclear if you get an erection of the glans or head now. The spongiosis erection will very likely not be improved or made worse by the implant.

Fide is an EXCELLENT surgeon who does at least 100 implants a year.

What was you VAC injury? I ask because when I first started with Erectile Dysfunction I tried using a VED without good research and problem worsened. After looking back I was doing it all wrong.

Partial update: Dr. Trost phoned in a prescription for Indomethacin (anti inflammatory). Swelling from the blowup is receding and the purple blotches are fading. RestoreX use has resumed. Clamping still hurts but it has to be done. My (unit) has what looks to be a dent where the plaque was. I continue to wrap at night as to avoid a blowout from nocturnal erections.

I use trimix 13. Works great but I have burning as soon as injected that continue sometime into the next day. If I use for more than 2 times a week I get residual swelling for a day or two. I will occasionally get some feeling down my right leg with use. Had Erectile Dysfunction for 6 years with very gradual worsening to point pills stopped working and switched to injection 16 months ago. I have noticed an onset of a slight upward curve and some loss of girth from mid shaft distally up to an inch difference from lower shaft. My wife is used to my size and the latter has me checking into surgery so I don't continue to lose. I have done some research and it looks as if I need to make an appointment with Dr. Eid for a consultation. I did order a restorer and hoping that will help. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I have reached out to Dr. Haaky within the last week about including his name on our list.  I just have not heard back from him yet.  Due in part to location and the excellent reports by three forum members, He would likely be my choice if I could not have Dr. Eid.

Quote from: Patrick321 on March 30, 2023, 06:51:08 PMI think porn addiction/over- masturbating, have sex with a weak erection, forceful masturbating with a weak erection, stretching are most causes for Peyronies. Bending/buckling/over-working a weak erection is the starting point for Peyronies.

Buckling is the key word above. That is exactly how the specialists describe it. When you have a weak erection and there is enough force to cause buckling. An example often used is when you take a short straw and hold it between your thumb and finger and squeeze until it buckles. At the buckle point there is now a crease and this is where scarring and plaque can form.

Where I clearly disagree with you is that you include overuse and stretching in your thinking. Of course, overuse will cause a weakened erection which will make you susceptible to buckling/trauma. You are free to believe whatever you want. But stretching and/or overuse does not cause the type of trauma as with buckling. This is key to understanding what causes Peyronies and understanding why stretching with VED/traction may help.

I agree that your deformity is not bad, and should not cause any problems. I have to ask how long as your erection been this way? I mean how much of this could be congenital?

Quote from: unsureincognito on March 27, 2023, 03:24:07 PMInstead I wanted to try ventripamil or something else but my gp doesn't prescribe that and I don't think the uro I have been sent to does either, it's like they aren't willing to consider other options or they simply just don't have it or aren't trained.

If you originally had a penile fracture, I am not sure what to recommend as we don't have much experience with that on this forum. A deformity from penile fracture is definitely different the a curve caused by Peyronies Disease.

If you have Peyronies Disease (this needs to be confirmed) then generally a urologist will do injections to soften the plaque. Verapamil is an older drug I don't think is used any longer. It essentially was replaced by Xiaflex. Search for "Xiaflex injections" on this site for more information. These injections do not have the thigh rate of success originally hoped for but is a first step prior to surgery. And these injections are not know to correct extreme curves. For example, if you have a 7 degree curve you might only see a 30 degree improvement from Xiaflex injections which still leaves you with a 40 degree curve.

This may be why your doctor is suggesting surgery right out of the gate. If you have an extreme curve, or truly a penile fracture then surgery might be you only option.

Hi, this is James. 29 years old.

I am new here as I'm recently been diagnosed with peyronies disease. I'm 29 years old and my symptoms started 2 years back with a constant urethral Bruning. I have been to different uros then and every single one of them diagnosed as chronic prostatitis. They might have been right too since the symptoms pointed to prostatitis/cpps, reduced urine flow, constant pain in urethra, burning after urination.

Fast forward 1 year I felt my erections were hard to get and felt like a stone. I have been prone Masturbating since early teens and this might have caused microtrauma over the years. I have been noticing my penis feeling disconnected, pointing to one side on flaccid, but then oneday I noticed a bent to the left. I freaked out as it was there when I was erect too. Combined with Erectile Dysfunction, bent and Erection, I visited a uro. He did tissue sonography and found calcified plaques on the tunica and cc. I was shocked as I heard it, was this end of everything?

Forward to two months, I have come to terms with this, I still have anxiety as I might never have a functional penis again. My curve hasnt got worse but the Erectile Dysfunction is still bad. It works on cialis but I don't know for how long. I'm still young, so worried about my future relationships and can't think of Implants at such a young age. I really hope there were more treatment options in this disease. My doc said there is nothing much that can be done other than surgery. I am currently on vitamin e and colchicine. Xialfex won't probably work as plaque is calcified. I hope oneday I will get this diseases behind me, for now it's difficult to live with it messing you. I am still hopefull, and trying to have a positive outlook towards life, and hopefully we have some effective treatments in the future.
