Progression of Peyronies Disease / Re: Early Stages of Peyronies ...
Last post by Kindafamous - Today at 11:07:00 AMThanks for the responses I did get which were for the most part encouraging. I have seen my Urologist who did confirm one small spot of scar tissue with his hand. I showed him the picture of my one dent that does not seem to go all the way around my penis. This started to the best of my knowledge early February 2024. From what I can see it has not gotten worse (yet). I have strong erections all night long, zero pain and except for seeing and feeling the dent.. everything else seems normal. I cannot figure out how to post a pic or I would .. lol. I guess I will remain positive, have. Started Verapamil cream twice a day, Vitamin E orally and topically and ordered some L-Arginine too

Introduce Yourself / Re: Is This Early Peyronies Di...
Last post by Kindafamous - Today at 10:57:04 AMQuote from: Kindafamous on April 20, 2024, 11:02:53 AMGreetings 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"..

Last post by Mikerey - Yesterday at 09:57:46 PMI tried pelvic floor therapy, Cialis, 2 dopplars, worked with a whollistic nurse, lost 30 pounds, tried homeopathic remedies (a blend of a bunch of vitamins I took at simultaneously which I can't remember the sort.) And I find the greatest remedy in my case was abstinence and good diet, rest and relaxation, and plenty of walking and sunshine!

Penile Implants / Re: Implant as First Line Trea...
Last post by QualityLife - Yesterday at 08:40:47 PMQuote from: Hawk on Yesterday at 03:57:04 PMAs stated, the risk of infection (Generally 2%) adds up to at least 12% with 6 revisions. An infection can be a nightmare.
Hello Mr. Hawk, I'd like to ask about the latter statement - an infection being a nightmare.
There's this video of dr. Clavell where he inserts an implant in post-infection patient and the guy gets the same size implant, as he was religiously using VED meanwhile dealing with infection. Also read couple of other cases where post infection guys were able to regain what they lost due to it, or really close to their baseline.
My question is, is there any worse fate than this possible size loss? I've seen a guy on the other forum who stated he can't be implanted no more due to excessive scar tissue, but this is a single case and apart from this I've never read of another guys running out of revisions....And some had many. I can accept some months of dealing with malleable, but if there's the end of the road where I can't have another IPP installed - indeed that's a nightmare.

Young men are, however, accepted for implants by many high-volume surgeons if they have ED. If a young man has full erectile function and only Peyronies Disease deformity, there are too many other options.

Last post by Hawk - Yesterday at 03:46:58 PMCongratulations! Great report!
I have tried to assure men for years that inflating an implant can be done discretely with no trouble. All it takes is a tiny bit of practice and understanding the process.

Penile Implants / Re: Is stretched out flacid yo...
Last post by Hawk - Yesterday at 03:34:53 PMThere is no doubt that implant size is determined by internal distal and proximal measurements, BUT stretched flaccid BEFORE surgery should be very close to erect length BEFORE surgery. All that happens during an erection is an internal stretching force applied to the cavernosa. The length is restricted by the tunica's stretch. Whether the tunica is stretched by blood, saline, or the tug of traction or the hand, the end result is the same.
Granted, if relaxing cuts are made in the tunica, then it will stretch further, and a post-surgical stretch would be longer.
The tunica stretch will also gradually get longer from inflation that acts as stretching-traction much like pre-surgical traction with a traction device.

Last post by Hawk - Yesterday at 03:09:37 PMGreat news and a great post. Congratulations, and thanks for the update. It does my heart good to hear successful outcomes. I especially like to hear the positive psychological impact of fixing a penis that did not work properly over many years. It is an amazing transformation.

General Discussion About Erectile Dysfunction / Re: Total erectile dysfunction...
Last post by dave1211 - Yesterday at 09:37:06 AMJust an update, I finally mustered the courage to go and see a doctor. He asked me a couple of questions and examined my penis. He didn't saying anything about peyronies and even when I told him about it he dismissed it.
Anyway he made me do a urine and blood test, both have come out normal. I am going for the next consultation following my results next week. But in my initial consultation he was suggesting I do a circumcision because he said my skin isn't pulling back like other penises and he is saying this could be the reason for my ED.
I highly doubt this is the reason for my ED as my penis used to be perfectly fine in my teens, I told him this too.
Looks like as expected the visit to the doctor was a waste of time. Your thoughts on this guys ? What can I do next ? My penis is totally dead and lifeless atm
