I'm on week eleven of using RestoreX for lengthening and side curvature.

I believe I'm seeing results for lengthening, but I'm not seeing results for the side curvature.

My penis begins bending around the middle of my penis approximately 3.5 inches from the tip of my glans. Although the RestoreX manual says it can be effective for this type of curvature, I don't feel much of a stretch where it is needed.

However, I started doing manual traction while erect and using a VED 3x daily to increase blood flow. This traction is far better targeted, and I'm seeing immediate results from this.  My curvature has went from about 40° to 20° after just a couple days of doing this.

In regards to lengthening, I'm using the long bars, and I've reached a point where I'm consistently able to get to the last position for the maximum stretch.

How time did you use it?

How is your condition now? Any improvement?

It's been several years since I posted a follow up.  Alls well.  Erections are fine.  The herniation is still there but is unchanged.  No pain.  I opted not to treat it.  I went from a 110 degree ventral curvature to a 10-15 degree up curve.  I have used restorex again as my length decreased from 7.5" to about 7.0". I use it several times a week for 30 minute.  I'm now somewhere between 7.25" and 7.5". For me, one cycle - two injections - of xiaflex with Dr Trost did the trick.  Hoping I continue smooth sailing.

Hi everyone one,

I am in my late 20s and and I am currently 30 days post op after plication surgery correcting 50 degrees downward congenital curvature .

2 weeks after surgery I was euphoric when I finally seen my penis without a curve, especially without loosing much length Which I was concirned about .

Now I am really worried regarding the loss of sensation, I don't feel pretty much any sensation in the upper part of the penis from the incision line up to the top half of the glans. The left side feels normal and the right side feels sensitive to touch .

I have mentioned this to the urologist and he downplayed it, and said it may help with premature ejaculation and it will improve with time .

- have anyone had similar experience ?
- when did it get better ?
- is there is any drugs and supplements that help nerve regeneration that I could use ?

Yea I read through multiple times and watched the videos. Getting the chamber on isn't as much of an issue for me now. It took some practice but I got the hang of it. The main issue is even after using heat my penis still gets bad hard flaccid as soon as I apply these devices. Most likely an anxious reaction and just getting used to the pulling.

Using Restorex takes a lot of adjusting to get use to.

I've only managed to get used to the stretching.

Have noticed a longer and girthier penis since using it along side VED.

I saw a report once about the month of surgery and how it corresponded with risk of infection. Correlation doesn't always equal causation however, but the report stated that there were fewer infections in the colder months, and I believe November was the month that had the least.

I was implanted in march in Atlanta so that isn't exactly "late winter" weather, but I recovered at home in New England. By the time April came around it had gotten warmer so I could walk outside and I was alright.

But wherever you get implanted the room will be warm enough to ensure the largest possible device. And obviously the better the surgeon the better the outcome, as always.

I started around 2 years after my injury (I woke up with a swollen purple penis. Urologists told me it was a fracture, took an x-ray, and offered zero help whatsoever. I also have no idea how this even happened, I suspect I laid on a nocturnal erection in my sleep.) After years of suffering in silence and  dealing with constant pain I took matters into my own hands and read all the research and weighed my options. My condition was a stable at this point but I suspected some worsening (which traction has completely halted.)

My situation is pretty extreme, with hourglassing and an upward curvature that makes sex extremely difficult and awkward. But traction is still beneficial even after all those years of the condition being left untreated. Don't ever let anyone on here demoralize you with the "It's too late, your plaque is calcified" line I see certain users throw around. That being said, I do wish I could've started in the acute phase, I think I would've seen better results if I started remodeling the scar in the early healing stages.

Also, my improvements to curvature are marginal but my pain has eased and my erection quality has improved tremendously. This has been the most important thing for me psychologically. I can live with a bit of curve, and I'm sure that there's plenty of women out there who love an upward curve. Not having to suffer from near constant flaccid pain in my everyday life has literally saved me. Being able to enjoy orgasms without worrying about that painful "bending" ruining them has saved me. I feel like a man again and not some castrated failure.

Had one series of two injections at Dr Trost in June. My dorsal and left curvatures reduced by about 10  and 5 degrees respectively. The Dr gave me a choice between mild and aggressive treatment (counterbending). I elected the mild form for my first experience. I am returning for round two in a few weeks and will elect the more aggressive version this time.

Frankly, the first week is pretty miserable. Things get much better at week two when the wrapping stops. I had residual shaft swelling for five weeks. My range on the RestoreX has improved significantly.

Yes, I ultimately had success with wrapping. The wrapping technique uses coban tape directly on the penis. I gather the 'regular method' starts with non-adherent gauze tape.

The steps are to stretch the penis out with one hand, put the first coban wrap under the glans, the second wrap goes up and halfway on the glans (so it adheres partly to the first wrap), then wrap down to the base of the shaft. A final strip is added to wrap the tip of the glans to prevent it from ballooning when the swelling sets in (boy, did it ever!) Then, a coban tape "jock strap" is wrapped around your hips and thighs and connected to the penile wrap. This is to prevent the wrap from sliding forward like a loose sock will do on your foot. The penis is held partially stiff by the tape when done.

I only had the jock strap for the first two days. Then, it was five more days of wrapping.

There are two negative side-effects to this wrapping method:

First, the coban tape has an aggressive design that is rough on the skin. I developed an ulcer on the glans under that first overlapping wrap. I put a bit of neosporin during my last three days, which helped. I'd say to expect some bleeding mid-week. On my Xiaflex cycle, I'll experiment with a 1/2" x 1" strip of gauze to see if that can redistribute the pressure.

Second, the coban tape sticks to itself in unproductive ways. As moved during sleep, the outside of the wrap stuck to itself and created points of great constriction. It took me almost a day to figure this out. The resulting lack of blood flow in various regions of the penis was the source of tremendous burning pain (8/10). The solve was to wrap gauze atop the coban. That's one nightmarish night I'm not getting back.

In the end, I'm very glad this Dr Trost technique worked and that I could take the Xiaflex treatment without a circumcision.
