I tried pelvic floor therapy, Cialis, 2 dopplars, worked with a whollistic nurse, lost 30 pounds, tried homeopathic remedies (a blend of a bunch of vitamins I took at simultaneously which I can't remember the sort.) And I find the greatest remedy in my case was abstinence and good diet, rest and relaxation, and plenty of walking and sunshine!

Quote from: Hawk on Yesterday at 03:57:04 PMAs stated, the risk of infection (Generally 2%) adds up to at least 12% with 6 revisions.  An infection can be a nightmare.

Hello Mr. Hawk, I'd like to ask about the latter statement - an infection being a nightmare.
There's this video of dr. Clavell where he inserts an implant in post-infection patient and the guy gets the same size implant, as he was religiously using VED meanwhile dealing with infection. Also read couple of other cases where post infection guys were able to regain what they lost due to it, or really close to their baseline.
My question is, is there any worse fate than this possible size loss? I've seen a guy on the other forum who stated he can't be implanted no more due to excessive scar tissue, but this is a single case and apart from this I've never read of another guys running out of revisions....And some had many. I can accept some months of dealing with malleable, but if there's the end of the road where I can't have another IPP installed - indeed that's a nightmare.

I do not believe phimosis (tight foreskin) and ED are related.

As stated, the risk of infection (Generally 2%) adds up to at least 12% with 6 revisions.  An infection can be a nightmare.

Young men are, however, accepted for implants by many high-volume surgeons if they have ED.  If a young man has full erectile function and only Peyronies Disease deformity, there are too many other options.

Congratulations! Great report! 

I have tried to assure men for years that inflating an implant can be done discretely with no trouble.  All it takes is a tiny bit of practice and understanding the process.

There is no doubt that implant size is determined by internal distal and proximal measurements, BUT stretched flaccid BEFORE surgery should be very close to erect length BEFORE surgery.  All that happens during an erection is an internal stretching force applied to the cavernosa.  The length is restricted by the tunica's stretch.  Whether the tunica is stretched by blood, saline, or the tug of traction or the hand, the end result is the same.

Granted, if relaxing cuts are made in the tunica, then it will stretch further, and a post-surgical stretch would be longer. 

The tunica stretch will also gradually get longer from inflation that acts as stretching-traction much like pre-surgical traction with a traction device.

Great news and a great post.  Congratulations, and thanks for the update.  It does my heart good to hear successful outcomes.  I especially like to hear the positive psychological impact of fixing a penis that did not work properly over many years.  It is an amazing transformation.

Just an update, I finally mustered the courage to go and see a doctor. He asked me a couple of questions and examined my penis. He didn't saying anything about peyronies and even when I told him about it he dismissed it.

Anyway he made me do a urine and blood test, both have come out normal. I am going for the next consultation following my results next week. But in my initial consultation he was suggesting I do a circumcision because he said my skin isn't pulling back like other penises and he is saying this could be the reason for my ED.
I highly doubt this is the reason for my ED as my penis used to be perfectly fine in my teens, I told him this too.

Looks like as expected the visit to the doctor was a waste of time. Your thoughts on this guys ? What can I do next ? My penis is totally dead and lifeless atm

The above comment by Mikel is excellent advice. Also for opening up and allowing the flaccid penis to stretch the restorex is excellent at this because of how much more tension it uses. After 15 minutes of restorex I can stretch my flaccid penis so much longer. But it is expensive especially if you already invested in the PMP.

Whatever you do make sure you stick to the traction from now now now. The best results from traction happen with men who start traction within the first 3 months which is where you are now.

I started my traction with the PMP and as long as your exterior outer skin is not taught I assure you that you are pulling the interior portion of your penis. Try to use a warm damp washcloth for about 5 to 10 minutes to loosen your penis up and get the blood flowing. You will then be able to attach the device a little easier. Also which line are you pulling from --> You should aim for the 3rd position. Also this unit requires time invested.
