Pain is a good thing, I used to take acetaminophen constantly to cope with flaccid pain while sitting but I've realized that this is a bad idea. Now I prefer to be hyper aware of my body's pain signals because it lets me know if something's wrong. I think this is super important when doing traction or any sort of physical therapy because it reduces the risk of reinjury.

Welcome Del28 to the forum and thank you for filling out your signature line. If you haven't done so please download and read our survival guide -->Survival Guide.

I am very sorry to hear about your situation as I and many other men here have experienced your frustration. I do not know of any Dr's in Europe. Perhaps there are some men here who have the knowledge of one. I would say if you are in a position to do so I would recommend Dr Eid in New York. He is a highly skilled urologist on the east coast of the USA. He has also performed more implant surgeries than any other Dr in the world. He is also a Dr here on our forum. Even with a consult you might be able to get some clear direction as to where to go and what to do next. This is one of the perplexing questions men with peyronies deal with all the time. I always say get a game plan and work it. Then see what outcome you get. 

Perhaps you are an implant candidate and then you can decide who will perform it. If I were in your shoes I would go to Dr Eid. He is skilled and has a mild demeanor and genuinely cares for his patients. We hope he never retires :) Finally remember that this is a marathon and not a sprint.  :)

Welcome JellalFerr11 to the forum. First thing you need to do is to fil in your signature line -->Signature Line. This will give other members a quick snapshot of your history. Then please download and study our survival guide -->Survival Guide. This is our comprehensive list regarding peyronies and it's different treatments.

Sorry to hear you are experiencing pain and some problems with your penis. I agree on what LostandLooking said about it appearing normal. You say that you have lost length/girth but do you know about how much? You need to get some preliminary measurements for
future reference. 

Pain is an indicator of something wrong and needs investigation. Is the pain in an area that you can pinpoint? In your pelvis or inside an area of your penis? Can you pinpoint a time when this all began? Was there an injury from sex or it just appeared like this?
So your 3rd Dr said that he could feel plaque. Did he do an ultrasound? Do you have normal morning erections when waking up and is there pain with them? Have you fallen on your butt and/or injured your tailbone?

Possibly you may need an erect ultrasound to see what is going on. It is true that you are young and peyronies hits older men more frequently but you cannot dismiss that there is something going on. You may also have to go to another Dr for examination. For the pain you need to look into heat therapy as this may provide you with some relief. Curvatures of the penis are congenital and normal. You say though that yours has gotten worse. By how much? Just try to get a hold of any anxiety and don't obsess over this. Get a game plan and work it out. I would not start and traction or VED therapy at this point in time until you find out exactly what is going on.  :)

It has been almost 3 years since he has posted anything on the forum.

@NeoV It sounds like we have very similar deformities, I would really appreciate some consultation if you wouldn't mind.

Looks completely normal to me but at the end of the day idk what your dick looked like before, only you do.

To me it looks like it just aims/points upwards as a whole, which is normal, as opposed to a curve or bend upwards.

Stabbing pain for 9 months is not normal whatsoever though. Maybe at your next doctors visit just focus on discussing why the pain is there, instead of focusing on peyronies, it really doesn't look like peyronies to me.

Trust me as a young guy it is already hard for doctors to believe you have peyronies disease even if you do have a new curve. In these pictures it looks like you have 0 curve.

Basically, if you show a doctor these pictures and say you think you have peyronies because of the 'curve':

-> they will think its all in your head (because from the pictures it looks like that, there is no curve visible, at all)

-> which might cause them to think you're exaggerating the pain aswell,

-> which might cause them to completely brush everything off because in their mind you're exaggerating/experiencing a psychological issue rather than physical.

Hello,

i am a 23 YO Male, i have been dealing with stabbing pain for 9 months now and noticed increased curvature of my penis ( it has always been bent upward but now it is worse) and loss of girth and length (not sure if it is because of the pain i can not get 100% erection).

i went to three doctors, two of them said i have no plaques/peyronie and one said they he can feel it and it is peyronie.

pictures attached, what do you think i should do? doctor told me to wait and see and document how my penis changes but has not prescribed any medications. should i start taking anything?

Hello all, thank you so much for your contributions amidst your personal struggles. They've been extremely helpful these last few years. Finally, a post of my own.

I'll keep this relatively brief, I'm too young to live like this. I think there's a number of factors that all contributed to my injury or highly increased my probability of being injured as I am. The most obvious, an upward congenital curve and an injury at the hands of a fairly careless partner.

It's been three years. I've been to two uros and an andrologist. The second Uro was very compassionate and honest, he recommended (unlike the first cretin) that I see an andrologist and not waste my time and money with urologists having an issue like this.

The andrologist visits have damaged me more than anything since my injury. He was evidently frustrated with my thorough questioning and I do not think it's a coincidence that he aggressively handled me (on both occassions) to the extreme that I left his office suffering intensified and some unfamiliar pain that after the second visit has never subsided and only increased in severity. Seemingly deforming my penis to a state unfit for intercourse. Insanely tight uncomfortable or painful erections with almost 90 degree curvature from the base and about 30 degree to the left with a twist if you get me. Technically usable but most definitely unsafe. Like your dad filling in for one of the boys playing 5 a side. Something's getting torn but he might die.

The one MRI I received three years ago is the only real investigation I've had in to my case. There's literally one other andrologist in my country but at this point if he could he even diagnose let alone treat me...... I don't think I'd let him try. So what the hell do I do now?

I need help and I can't live like this any longer, who can help me in Europe? I think that I'm far beyond conservative measures. I need firstly a diagnosis, from all I've read any surgeries required are made massively more effective by choosing one of a handful of US Andros.

I've wasted enough money here in Ireland only to be dismissed, disrespected and harmed physically in my last two appointments. The last, over a year ago.

Who will investigate my case thoroughly in Europe? Preferably an implant specialist because I can't think of any other solution at this point. Open to US east coast recommendations too. Please help

You could alternate between an upward stretch for an hour then switch to a downward stretch for another hour. Remember that consistency and dedication is the key for success with the PMP. In switching from an upward to a downward it will give you some time to massage your pubic bone region if it gets too sore.

I have the complete system and I never got the hang of using the belt attachment. I really don't think there is any way to get a correct reading for the pulling force. It just exerts a constant pulling force. It can change depending on if you are sitting down or standing also.
