Hey, i just payed more attention to the fact that my left side testicle is more firm and sits higher than the right one.

When i'm sitting down, i think the left testicle pushes the penis to lean to the other side (right side), creating a slight torsion. Because when i pull the testicles down so that they do not have contact with the penis, there is no rotation. I wonder if that permanent shortening of one side, considered with it straightening out when standing, could lead to my problems with chronic pain and issues?

I know, there are so many possibilites, most of them probably rubbish. But i'd like to hear what some of you think about that.

Hey, i translated kink and maybe the meaning is wrong. It should both mean the same thing. I have a knick like in the image. Yeah when fully errect it straighten out and the dent too.
Usually the pain gets better too with an errection.
All the bad things (deformity and pain) come after the errection, when flaccid.
I wish i could finally stop or ease that annoying flaccid pain.

I've been using DMSO for the past two weeks to see what happens to my multiple plaques. I'm using dmso + vitamin C + water (70/15/15). I'm also planning to add a castor oil to the mix.

For now no change. It burns from time to time (a bit randomly; sometimes it's completely fine).

Introduce Yourself / Symptoms for a month, then sud...

Hi all!
Been lurking on here for the past few weeks since I suspected I might have early onset peyronie's. I felt a sudden worsening the past few days, and today I woke up with a 45ish degree curve to the left when erect, which is what prompted me to write this.

It all started with pain on the left side of my penis during masturbation about a month ago, I was slightly sore from before (over-masturbated during february because of stress). After that I had swelling, dull pain/ache and difficulty getting an erection for some time, and I could feel a bumpy half ring on the left side near the glans (going around the left cc I suppose). A lot of weird symptoms.

It started improving and feeling a little more normal until this Monday 08/04 when I woke up with an erection after a couple weeks without a strong one and I wanted to check how it felt and looked. It looked mostly ok, thankfully. it hurt a little. However I feel like I might have reinjured it then, maybe by the erection itself, or by slightly straightening the erection by hand, not forcefully. I did not masturbate and haven't done it in weeks now.

The swelling and occasional dull ache returned. the past 3 days I've been waking up with a stronger curve, especially today at what looked like a 45 degree curve, which was shocking. I already had a congenital curve at around 15ish degrees in the same direction, but this sudden curve was too much.

I'm still waiting for a urologist appointment, the healthcare system here in Sweden is rather slow. Primary care took a looked at me and said "it's like a bruise, give it a few weeks"... It sucked not getting any help. I asked about cialis and he was clueless and said I should let it rest and not be getting erections.

I've been proactive and been taking supplements since early on:
vit E
coQ10
L-arginine
L-citrulline
L-carnitine
zink
Magnesium

I've read a lot about peyronies already but would still appreciate input on what I could or should be doing at this stage. And would love to hear if someone had a similar experience and how it progressed.

Also, is there any chance my curve could improve or resolve entirely, that it's just the inflammation pulling it tight and it could subside?

As for the ultrasound, the technician would describe that in the notes you get after the exam, so it should not be too hard to find out.

Not really sure about that kink you describe. Sometimes my penis appears to be different when I am not fully erect as well. Sometimes I read posts from other members describing the same. I would say you have to keep an eye out for any progression of the disease and if it keeps getting worse you need to address it with either traction or VED.

As for the chronic pain, have you tried taking an NSAID to help?

The only supplement that I have read about is lecithin. There are no studies to prove this though. You can read about testimonials from men who claim it works on increasing  the volume of ejaculate.
#98
So let me understand this. You have a kink and also a knick? Is the knick an indentation? Doe this go away with a full erection? Pain is an indicator that something is wrong.

Hello guys, has anyone noticed a kink before, that the penis looked knicked midway?

Last night, like some nights before, i noticed when waking up at time, the penis had a kink / bend in the middle with about 50 % errection. It looked somewhat like in the picture.

Is this problematic or would this not cause pain?

I remember that the days after my injury when this happened (years ago) the penis looked like this too for several days. Probably, when during nocturnal errections it gets pushed too hard against one side, the kink can happen. Do you agree? I guess it should NOT have a knick / kink usually! It was not a full errection but semihard. I wonder if this knick can trigger my chronic pain and how i could solve it.


Thanks

Thanks for your reply Pfract, i just came to check now.

I received a lot of ultrasounds, will need to check if they were colour duplex ultrasound.

I like to find out what is wrong with the penis, and if there is really an issue or its some where else.
I have some deformity, but not like usually in Peyronies upwards. I also have dents, but the worst part is chronic flaccid pain that comes and goes. I would really like to find the reason for the pain to be able to cure it, so i thought about doing an MRI. Or now, a colour duplex ultrasound :)

One more thing: In my most recent post i talked about a "kink" that i noticed the night before. While being about 50% errect, the penis had in the mid a kink to one side, it looked knicked. This just happened at night as i slept, and i guess it may happen more often. The next day i had pain too.

Have you heard of this before? Can this happen with penile fractures, that the tissue can now always bend to one side again at times?
