Hi all!
Been lurking on here for the past few weeks since I suspected I might have early onset peyronie's. I felt a sudden worsening the past few days, and today I woke up with a 45ish degree curve to the left when erect, which is what prompted me to write this.

It all started with pain on the left side of my penis during masturbation about a month ago, I was slightly sore from before (over-masturbated during february because of stress). After that I had swelling, dull pain/ache and difficulty getting an erection for some time, and I could feel a bumpy half ring on the left side near the glans (going around the left cc I suppose). A lot of weird symptoms.

It started improving and feeling a little more normal until this Monday 08/04 when I woke up with an erection after a couple weeks without a strong one and I wanted to check how it felt and looked. It looked mostly ok, thankfully. it hurt a little. However I feel like I might have reinjured it then, maybe by the erection itself, or by slightly straightening the erection by hand, not forcefully. I did not masturbate and haven't done it in weeks now.

The swelling and occasional dull ache returned. the past 3 days I've been waking up with a stronger curve, especially today at what looked like a 45 degree curve, which was shocking. I already had a congenital curve at around 15ish degrees in the same direction, but this sudden curve was too much.

I'm still waiting for a urologist appointment, the healthcare system here in Sweden is rather slow. Primary care took a looked at me and said "it's like a bruise, give it a few weeks"... It sucked not getting any help. I asked about cialis and he was clueless and said I should let it rest and not be getting erections.

I've been proactive and been taking supplements since early on:
vit E
coQ10
L-arginine
L-citrulline
L-carnitine
zink
Magnesium

I've read a lot about peyronies already but would still appreciate input on what I could or should be doing at this stage. And would love to hear if someone had a similar experience and how it progressed.

Also, is there any chance my curve could improve or resolve entirely, that it's just the inflammation pulling it tight and it could subside?
 

As for the ultrasound, the technician would describe that in the notes you get after the exam, so it should not be too hard to find out.

Not really sure about that kink you describe. Sometimes my penis appears to be different when I am not fully erect as well. Sometimes I read posts from other members describing the same. I would say you have to keep an eye out for any progression of the disease and if it keeps getting worse you need to address it with either traction or VED.

As for the chronic pain, have you tried taking an NSAID to help?

The only supplement that I have read about is lecithin. There are no studies to prove this though. You can read about testimonials from men who claim it works on increasing  the volume of ejaculate.

So let me understand this. You have a kink and also a knick? Is the knick an indentation? Doe this go away with a full erection? Pain is an indicator that something is wrong.

Hello guys, has anyone noticed a kink before, that the penis looked knicked midway?

Last night, like some nights before, i noticed when waking up at time, the penis had a kink / bend in the middle with about 50 % errection. It looked somewhat like in the picture.

Is this problematic or would this not cause pain?

I remember that the days after my injury when this happened (years ago) the penis looked like this too for several days. Probably, when during nocturnal errections it gets pushed too hard against one side, the kink can happen. Do you agree? I guess it should NOT have a knick / kink usually! It was not a full errection but semihard. I wonder if this knick can trigger my chronic pain and how i could solve it.


Thanks

Thanks for your reply Pfract, i just came to check now.

I received a lot of ultrasounds, will need to check if they were colour duplex ultrasound.

I like to find out what is wrong with the penis, and if there is really an issue or its some where else.
I have some deformity, but not like usually in Peyronies upwards. I also have dents, but the worst part is chronic flaccid pain that comes and goes. I would really like to find the reason for the pain to be able to cure it, so i thought about doing an MRI. Or now, a colour duplex ultrasound

One more thing: In my most recent post i talked about a "kink" that i noticed the night before. While being about 50% errect, the penis had in the mid a kink to one side, it looked knicked. This just happened at night as i slept, and i guess it may happen more often. The next day i had pain too.

Have you heard of this before? Can this happen with penile fractures, that the tissue can now always bend to one side again at times?

I was prescribed a generic of wellbutrin for depression last month. I asked for trazodone instead because I've read from others in this forum that it also improves NTE's, but my doctor refused.

There are websites where the trazodone can be obtained without a prescription, even some for pets. How much risk, if any, doing this as long as I order the same dosage as the anti-depressant my doctor prescribed?

The amount of my ejaculate has decreased significantly since my Peyronie's was diagnosed. I've tried various supplements over the years but none have worked.

Any suggestions for supplements that have worked?

I have a permanent injury from Restorex.  I think the traction is too strong, or at least it was for me.  Be careful with it if you use it, I'd recommend only going about 1/2 the tension they recommend for the first few sessions to see how your penis responds.

Hi Pfract.  \

Thanks for your response.  You did read that correctly, in the past 2 years as this has evolved the large hematoma that has 'healed' inside of my penis giving a large scar inside has posed issues with ejaculation.  My hypotesis is that when I'm aroused the scar becomes bigger too and pushes on the urethra partially blocking the pathway so now my cum does shot out very well anymore.  This causes no pain, it's just unsightly and not as satisfying. 

When I'm not aroused the scar does not seem to block the pathway and I notice no issues with voiding nor do I notice any pain.  If I start to notice any issues with voiding and/or pain I will go back to the Urologist, but so far things are good on that front.  Thanks and God Bless.
