I posted about my condition in another thread but I think I'm going to go back to my urologist and request an ultrasound (or MRI?) so I know once and for all if I have scar tissue on my penis.
I was wondering, for those who've gone through the procedure, how invasive is it and what exactly do they do? Do they use a handheld device to scan your penis when it's flaccid? (I had an ultrasound on my abdomen for a sports hernia once and they used a handheld scanner, so that's what I'm assuming they do for peyronies too, but just curious.)
I guess for peace of mind and setting expectations I just wanted to know what the entire process looks like and how long it takes.
Thanks!!
When I had my ultrasound performed it was by Dr Levine. He used a small handheld scanning tool on my flaccid stretched penis first then gave me an injection to induce an erection. Then after 10 minutes he scanned it a second time. He said was looking for plaques and any fibrous tissues as well as the blood flow. It really wasn't that painful at all. The injection was like a small pinch.
Same for me, was fairly routine.
Yep same for me as well, basically exactly the same process as Mikel7 describes. It was actually quite interesting to see the plaque on the display for me, I did not think much about what was happening down there :)
