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"..

There is limited info. We do not know if it will be an oral medication or injectable. Regardless it would likely be very expensive. I've searched around and can practically find nothing. They've been studying since at least 2012.

Hi everyone just a quick update, no real improvement. I take 10mg tadalafil daily just to keep the blood flowing down there but still no improvement. I doubt this could improve now.

Has anyone had success taking tadalafil alongside other things or would that be dangerous?

True, not much can be done except trying to self help with traction or ved. I really used to be stuck in a loop where I kept dwelling on it every single day, I am very pleased that I have now reached a point where those days have become very few. I've just accepted it. Some days I still think about how everything was prior to the condition but those thoughts are incredibly harmful. Still happens from time to time where I think about all these different possibilities and what could have triggered it, I guess that is just a part of normal human behaviour but generally I have moved on.

Welcome Slid to the forum. Here you will find a great community of men who share what you are going through as we have all been there. Read the survival guide per Stabler's recommendation and you will get a better understanding about peyronies.

One thing to first get control over is any anxiety and worrying regarding this as that will do more damage than peyronies sometimes. I would look into VED and traction therapy and heat therapy if you are in pain. Doing nothing will solve nothing and things could get worse. Remember to adopt the mindset that this is a marathon and not a sprint. Also please fill in your signature line.

For the pain I would first suggest trying heat therapy several times a day. I am not familiar with hard flaccid so I can't comment. I do believe that starting some gentle traction possibly with the PMP could help you. Then after a while adding in the VED therapy.

The plaques that are calcified show up on an ultrasound as distinct white objects. Those that are not calcified are just bits of scar tissue. Dr's have a difficult time interpreting these bits and pieces sometimes as they can hide in the ultrasound.
