I replied to one of your other posts - yes I have the same exact ridge things mostly along the right side.  I have a left curve - so they are not a factor in my bend.  I have always wondered what they were because I don't always remember having them (of course I only really paid attention down there once I got p.d.)

Quote from: Ukguy1234 on March 29, 2025, 02:05:01 AMAfter rough sex and a minor slippage / mis-thrust situation, I began developing hardened vein-like bands in multiple areas of my shaft about a month later.

There was no pain or anything so didnt think there was any cause for concern.

Have seen a urologist who could not identify any plaque but I'm still unsure as to what these bands actually are, if it isnt plaque.

Can you get fibrosis or scarring in veins that look like the below pictures and not be peyronies?

Thanks in advance guys!

You haven't always had those ridge like things straight across? I have the same exact thing along right side- I don't remember if I always had it but noticed they were there when I developed p.d.  I have a left curve so they have no bearing... but i've always wondered what exactly they were (if it's normal).  Maybe someone can chime in, if not can bring it up with the urologist to confirm.  You have photos so he can quickly give opinion on it.

Let me know because I am curious as someone who has the same exact thing.

It seems many men who get p.d. can't recall a specific event (something severe like penile fracture).  I do believe this: let's be real if we were to have hurt our member we would definitely remember the incident.  There's no way you wouldn't be able to remember if you injured yourself.

Whatever the underlying cause is I think it makes the person susceptible.  Non p.d. suffers are not effected by the normal wear & tear for sex....p.d. suffers don't have this resistance for whatever reason.  I'm almost convinced is some sort of metabolic thing.

Sounds like a great idea. 

You'd figure this thing would get a lot more attention / research

There are worse things for sure (a terminal cancer for instance) but there is very little else that could cause such distress in a man as p.d.

I apologize if this has already been mentioned on here - I looked for it but didn't find it.

On another forum a person claimed that taking iodine, in the form of the product iodoral, reversed his p.d.  He claims he was motivated to try it after reading about how someone used it to reverse dupuytren's.  His post sounds miraculous.  Has anyone come across this/tried it?  I'll post the link below so you can read the thread.

What are your thoughts about it and how it could theoretically work?  The author on the forum seems pretty adamant about it.

I don't doubt it

I saw 2 or 3 urologists for my p.d. back in the day when it first came on.  I had to take about a handful of injections in total if I remember for the examinations (an injection to get an erection and than another to kill your erection after examination).  I can say with 100% confidence that these couple of injections worsened my peyronies and left me with ed which I didn't necessarily have when I first got the condition.  I first got checked out about 2 years after I developed the curve and at the time the only issue was the curve. 

I was never warned about the possibility of the above- the experience left me extremely bitter & resentful. 

If you are a person who has this condition or are prone to getting it at some point, you probably should not injecting anything into your penis.

These are some pictures I took in June 2024 when first started treating peyronies with shockwave and VED.

It's pretty certain to say I've had a 5° improvement from 30° to 25°. The indent has also filled in completely. I really began to notice this improvent in curvature after my first collagense injection.

I'm happy and a little disappointed as I was hoping to see more improvement. I'm hoping I can eventually get down to 10-15°.

I've used the app called Angulus. I'm getting a 25° curvature.

This is today in June 2025.

I've forgotten how to post images here. But there are ways to superimpose an angle graph over your pic.

I used a USB heat wrap before or afterwards to compensate. Some use a warm towel.
