Experiencing multiple erections in a short span of time, especially due to stimulation like viewing sexy photos, is generally not dangerous. Erections occur as a result of increased blood flow to the penis, and they typically subside once the stimulation ceases.

However, if someone is concerned about potential damage or discomfort from frequent erections, it's a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional. They can provide personalized advice and address any specific concerns regarding penile health.

Hey there,

Glad to hear mostly positive news from your urologist visit in London! It's reassuring that both your urologist and the radiologist found the ultrasound Doppler results satisfactory. It's also good to know that they provided reassurance regarding the use of Viagra and the unlikely occurrence of priapism, especially given your experiences over the weekend.

It seems like your investigation is narrowing down, with the focus shifting away from mechanical concerns towards other potential factors contributing to your discomfort and slightly reduced EQ. It's wise of you to consider lifestyle changes like quitting pornography and masturbation to see if they alleviate your symptoms. Hopefully, this adjustment brings about the relief you're seeking.

It sounds like you're experiencing some challenging symptoms related to Peyronie's disease and erectile dysfunction. While curvature is a common symptom associated with Peyronie's, it's not the only factor contributing to erectile dysfunction in this condition.

It's positive that you've sought medical help, but it's unfortunate that you feel dismissed by your urologist. PENTOX (pentoxifylline) is indeed a common medication prescribed for Peyronie's disease to help with pain and potentially reduce plaque formation, but consistency with medication can be difficult, especially if you're experiencing side effects or not seeing immediate results.

In addition to PENTOX, your urologist might consider other treatment options such as oral medications like Tadalafil or injections like Verapamil or Xiaflex. However, it's crucial to discuss these options thoroughly with your healthcare provider and ensure they're suitable for your specific condition and medical history.

I'm really sorry to hear about what you're going through. It sounds incredibly challenging, both physically and emotionally. It's understandable that you're feeling hopeless and worried about disappointing your partner.

Seeking out a knowledgeable specialist like the high-volume surgeon/Peyronies doctor you mentioned seems like a proactive step. Getting proper diagnostic tests done by someone who understands your condition can provide clarity on the root causes of your symptoms and guide your treatment options.

Regarding the possibility of getting an implant, it's a decision that should be carefully considered with the guidance of medical professionals. It's encouraging that you're noticing some potential for improvement in your erections, especially if the pain can be managed effectively. Exploring non-invasive or less invasive treatments first, if suitable, might be worth considering before opting for more invasive procedures like implants.

It's not uncommon for symptoms to evolve over time, and the progression of Peyronie's disease can vary from person to person. Your experiences are valid, and it's important to advocate for yourself and seek the support and treatment that you need. Keep pushing for answers and exploring all available options with your healthcare provider. You're not alone in this journey, and I hope you find relief and improvement soon.

Your approach with supplements like gingko/ginseng, horny goat weed, and yohimbe is worth exploring, as they are often touted for their potential benefits in improving erectile function and blood flow. However, it's essential to proceed with caution and consult with a healthcare professional before introducing new supplements, especially considering your specific medical condition and any potential interactions with other medications or treatments you may be using.

Regarding your concerns about prescription pills, it's important to remember that they can be a viable option for many individuals with erectile dysfunction or related issues. While you're hesitant about them becoming a long-term necessity, they can sometimes offer significant benefits, especially when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your needs. Discussing your concerns and preferences with a healthcare provider can help you explore all available options and make informed decisions about your care.

Ultimately, finding the right approach to managing Peyronie's Disease and maintaining satisfactory sexual function is a highly individualized process. Open communication with your healthcare provider and your partner, along with patience and perseverance, can be key in navigating this journey.

Quote from: DaneS89 on December 29, 2023, 05:04:48 AMAn open question to anyone reading this and comfortable enough to answer - do any of you here agonise and obsess about the (possible) sexual side effects of antidepressant medications, especially within the context of peyronies disease? That is if you take them of course, and if so, I'd be curious to know, were you on them already or did they enter the scene post-peyronies to help manage the emotional toll of the condition? Do you deem them as a 'necessary evil' of sorts? Or if you don't take them but could benefit from them, is the refusal based on an unwillingness to take any risks when it comes to sexual function?

For me personally, I am plagued by these questions and doubts. Stop them, switch them, leave them unchanged?  I have become fascinated with 'researching' the pharmacological profiles and actions of all the different antidepessant meds and how they might affect sexual functioning. There doesn't seem to be a perfectly 'pro-sexual' antidepressant drug out there except for maybe Trazadone which isn't available here. The two that I have settled on are known to be fairly 'safe' options with regards to preserving male sexual function, and one of them is even reported to enhance it. I'm probably alone in having this particular interest, but if on the rare chance I'm not it'd be cool to discuss this more in depth.

Researching the pharmacological profiles of antidepressants is a proactive approach, and it's commendable that you're taking an active role in your healthcare decisions. While there may not be a perfect "pro-sexual" antidepressant, finding one that is known to have fewer sexual side effects or even potentially enhance sexual function, like the options you've mentioned, can be a step in the right direction.

Ultimately, the decision to start, stop, or switch antidepressant medications should be made in consultation with a healthcare professional who can weigh the potential benefits and risks based on your individual circumstances and needs. You're definitely not alone in grappling with these questions, and seeking support and information is a positive step towards finding the best solution for you.

It sounds like you're experiencing difficulty with your VED (Vacuum Erectile Device). While it's disappointing that it's not working out as expected, there may be a few things you could try before deciding to send it back. Have you adjusted the pressure settings or tried using a different size of the vacuum erection hole? Sometimes, small adjustments can make a big difference. If you're still having trouble, it might be worth reaching out to the manufacturer or your healthcare provider for further guidance. They may have some additional suggestions or alternatives to consider.

It sounds like you've been dealing with some challenging issues related to Peyronie's disease and its effects on your sexual health. While I'm not a doctor, I can offer some insights based on what you've shared.

Firstly, it's understandable that you're cautious about surgical options, especially given the potential risks involved. Exploring alternative treatments like supplements is a reasonable approach.

Yohimbine is indeed one of the supplements that has been explored for ejaculatory anhedonia. It's derived from the bark of the yohimbe tree and has been used traditionally as an aphrodisiac and to treat erectile dysfunction. Some studies suggest it may help improve sexual function, although its effectiveness can vary from person to person.

However, it's important to note that while supplements like yohimbine may offer some benefits, they may not work for everyone, and their efficacy is not universally supported by scientific evidence. Additionally, they can have side effects and interactions with other medications, so it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen, especially considering your medical history and the medications you were previously taking.

As for natural supplements to consider, there's a range of options that some individuals find helpful for sexual health, including L-arginine, ginseng, and maca root. Again, it's crucial to approach these with caution and discuss them with your doctor to ensure they're safe for you and won't interact negatively with any other medications or conditions you have.

In terms of your morning erections, the fact that you've experienced a change in this pattern could be related to various factors, including Peyronie's disease, hormonal changes, or other underlying health issues. It might be worth discussing this with your doctor to explore potential causes and solutions.

Quote from: SDP on April 10, 2024, 10:33:41 AMThe 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'm sorry to hear about your struggle. It's understandable that you're seeking solutions. While I'm not a doctor, I've come across discussions about certain supplements that some individuals have found helpful in similar situations. One option often mentioned is L-arginine, as it's believed to support blood flow, which could potentially enhance ejaculate volume. Another one worth considering is zinc, as it plays a role in reproductive health. However, it's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before trying any new supplement, especially considering your specific condition. They can provide personalized guidance and ensure compatibility with any existing treatments or conditions you have.

I would never recommend this. I understand your dilemma but erections are necessary and normal to keep your penis healthy and stretched out. Would you want to loose size? How about waking up one morning and your penis is an inch shorter? Blood flow into the penis
is a healthy normal function. Have you tried some heat therapy to help out with the pain?
