Hi!

I've been using Diclofenac/voltaren for a few days this week on the area where it hurts (left side of the penis near glans). I think it definitely helps with the swelling and pain, thankfully. But I started using it without consulting anyone nor checking in with my GP, and I'm unsure whether its safe to use on the penis or not. Does anyone know if it's ok?

For context, I'm currently debating whether I have acute stage peyronies or still recovering from some sort of mild fracture. Swelling, redness and ache/pain are the most recurring symptoms.

Hi all!

I need help clearing something out. I'm unsure whether I 'm in the acute stage or still recovering from a possible mild fracture (that basically might have happened from masturbation).

I've had symptoms since about 5-6 weeks ago. I got sudden pain and tingling on the left side of my penis during masturbation. Then the following days I had swelling and curvature. Was aching for a while, and a few other symptoms like weak and painful erections, but then it started getting a little better, less pain.
then I got a strong erection after not having a proper one for a couple of weeks, and it hurt a little and afterwards I felt i worsen, the swelling got worse and the next day I woke up with a strong curve, 60 degree-ish, and some days after that it went down to 45 ish, and  I think it's since gotten a little better curve-wise. but the left side doesn't inflate in the same way as the right. and my penis sometimes turtles/hardens contracted every now and then.. it's weird.

But I still have ache/ pain every now and then and some redness in the 'injury area'. I don't know if the redness randomly comes and goes or of it flares up from touching and pulling back foreskin to check...  I think I can feel somewhat of a dent too.

So what do you think my issue might be?

I should mention I have a couple of urologist visits scheduled in about a month, and I'm taking supplements from the survival guide, so Im mostly on top of things.

Btw, Topical diclofenac/voltaren helps a little with pain and swelling. used it a couple days this past week. my idea. Could it be bad for the penis in some way?

Thanks a bunch in advance!

I am making only my 2nd post here. I did not get any response from my first one, which is understandable. There are so many people suffering from this cruel malady here, and they all need advice and the comfort of others suffering from the same affliction.

I have discovered a dent in only the upper right side of my penis within the last couple months. So far it has not progressed or changed and I have started Varapimil cream under my urologist direction.

My question is.. once even a small area of scar tissue has been found ,like with my case, does it ALWAYS progress into a much worse situation? Am I living on borrowed time? No pain and no bend at this time ... erections are normal and frequent especially at night. I am 67 years young.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts ..

any news on this?

what did your doc say?

I am in the 9th year of the disease and the last one has gotten much worse, my penis is getting shorter, I no longer have elasticity, it is very tense and retracted with dysfunction. The times I gently stretched my penis with my hand I felt like I was breaking the fibrosis and my symptoms improved but it is always temporary and then it hardens and worsens (only once did I improve an area permanently).
I never used device, I wonder if it works or not, since some sell this for some reason. I'm losing hope.

It would be great.

I have looked around and no there is none that I can find.

But is there a study for peyronies or just in general fibrosis?

I really do not care what it costs, if it stops this nightmare...

I don't know of anyone having any success with topical creams. Many urologists would recommend vitamin E in a transdermal form, but I have never heard of Xiaflex in a compound cream. And a dent would mean you have something going on in the Tunica tissue (Google it if you don't know) which is too deep for a topical compound to reach.

And unfortunately, there is no way to predict if this will get worse, or just stay the same.

Greetings fellow members..

TH here. Hopefully someone had experienced what I am experiencing and can give me some insight as to why at to expect. A couple months ago (late February) I felt a tiny lump on the right side of my penis up high a little below the head. I have frequent erections during the night I am happy to report for my 67 years of age. At the end of March I happened to take a good look at my erect penis and I could See and FEEL a dent!! .. The dent does NOT travel all the way around the shaft thankfully (yet?), and I have no pain at all, flaccid or erect. My urologist examined me and said for sure there is a small scar tissue spot there. He prescribed a compound cream Verapimil (160mg/GM) to apply twice a day. He does not think it is very serious at this point and said it "might not even progress"....but that sounded like an educated guess to me.

My question: Is this the beginning of a possibly worsening case of Peyronies Disease? Chances are you have seen this exact beginning before? What might I expect from here?
Thanks for your tan time and sorry about the long "question"..
