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!
Well it is good you have an appointment with a Dr. You need to study the survival guide and educate yourself regarding peyronies and have a list of questions to ask your Dr. You may very well be healing from an injury either with peyronies being involved or not. Pain and curvatures are a sign that something is going on. Hopefully you can ask your Dr for an erect ultrasound to get a clear picture of what is happening.
Topical pain relievers will no do much for your penis. You should look into traction therapy and VED therapy. Educate yourself on these two things and be ready to bring it up with your Dr. Both of these can help in the prevention/healing of peyronies symptoms.
Cialis and other ED drugs are also usually prescribed because of their reducing inflammation and promoting erections. You should also try heat therapy as it does help with pain and swelling reduction. Also adopt the mindset that this battle is a marathon and not a sprint. Worry and anxiety needs to be kept at bay. If you adopt a strategy and you see some improvement keep with it. :)
