Hi Mikel,

Thank you for the reply.

This is definitely an injury from my last pumping session which was done very recklessly and with a rubber ring around the base of my penis near the pelvis. I had no issues prior.

I'm no longer in pain thankfully but I haven't had regular night time/morning erections in years, well before this issue (I've had my testosterone levels checked and it's solid).

To be clear, it was a PA at the urologist office who suggested Peyronies so it's not an official diagnosis but the ultrasound hopefully will provide more clarity.

I'm trying to get my anxiety under control. I just don't want to get my hopes up as most of what I've read across the internet is all very negative.

Welcome Seamusharper to the forum. Please take the time and fill out your signature line -->Signature Line . Then please download and study our survival guide -->Survival Guide. This will give you a better understanding about peyronies and it's different treatments.

Pumping can do damage to your penis but usually you can recover. The real question is did you have the beginning stages of peyronies or is this just an injury?

Don't be down on yourself trying to figure it out and blame yourself. Study up on peyronies and possibly look into traction and VED therapy as prescribed here on the forum. Tadalafil also has healing properties for your penis and does work. Are you in pain currently? Do you have regular nigh time and morning erections? Getting fresh oxygenated blood into your penis is healing.

I would be very careful with any sexual activity for the time being until you can see what is causing any pain for you. I used heat therapy a lot when I was in a lot of pain and it does work. You need to get yourself an educated peyronies Dr if that is possible. You can talk with your current Dr and share some of the things discussed here on the forum. See if he/she is comfortable with working with you. Getting an erect ultrasound can be very revealing as to what is actually going on.

One thing you need to get a hold of is your anxiety level and worrying about things. You will make it through this. Educate yourself and get a plan of action. Remember though that this is a marathon and not a sprint. A lot of guys want this done and over with in 2 weeks and that is not how this is treated.

We are all men but our chemical internal makeup may be different in healing and repairing etc.....

I would not be to concerned about it unless you are experiencing pain. Discoloration does fade in time as I have experienced it.

Hi there,

I'd like to ask whether anyone has had a similar experience to mine.

A few months ago, I did a few rounds of PRP. Without much success, I decided to discontinue.

I had some bruising as a result but it went away in a few weeks time.

Then a few weeks after it went away I noticed that there still was some "blackness" there, like the skin there is much darker. It looks a bit like bruising but it's not.

When you stretch the skin in that area, the dark area of the skin goes away, and then you can see that the little veins there are darker than the other ones.

Checked with my doctor a few days ago - he said it's some kind of pigmentation. Although I don't think it's because of pigmentation if it's likely to be connected to this darker vein.

Around the time I got this problem, my sexual life got back on track so maybe it's also a factor?

What do you think? Should I be worried?

Thanks

How long have you been on tadalafil?

Thanks Mikael, you are probably right.

It´s just that the report I´m referring to says that I should se a difference like now. And it scares me that I don´t. But, as you say, I have to be more patient.

I just want to second that post where bentknob mentions shockwave, prp and verapamil are not effective. That's true. Years on this board and results were never there. Few if any accounts of actual long lasting improvement with these treatments...

Don't apply stretch for about 2 minutes to allow blood to escape then apply more pressure before starting the stretch. Has helped tremendously.

I remember doing it too when I did traction. It helped a lot. Thanks for sharing!

The fact that you had some improvement shows you that it is working. Treating curvatures takes longer. You really need to be more patient with this. Remember that this is a marathon and not a sprint.
