Hello, greetings to all the presents.
I am new in the forum, I have been since I registered reading absolutely everything written here.
I am 47 years old and the Peyronie illness for exactly 1 year.
My symptoms were painful erections and little by little back curvature.
To date of today I have 90 grades and a smaller penis.
I have tried everything ... and nothing has worked.
I know that my future happens as the cirujía.
I live in Spain and here there are no doctors who stand out in this specialty.
I have doubts where from to come. I know that it is difficult to recommend someone in particular but I ask all for its assistance.
Once I have decided to go out out, it does not matter to me to do it in any part of the world.
I have heard to speak well about a doctor in London ... also of other in Sao Paulo ... and about several in USA ...
My case is complicated ... it is possible that apart from operation he needs an implant, I do not know it.
I need nearby, sincere, honest someone and with a lot of experience in difficult cases.
They would have left any contribution eternally grateful.
A hug to all.
RIcardo, I dont know if this is helpful or not. There is an abstract posted in another part of the forum about a traction device. The research was done in a Madrid hospital Urology department. Research the names of the doctors in the paper, I would imagine that one of them might be an authority in Peyronies. I hope this is a helpful place to start.
This is the link:

As a side note, I Have the device in the paper. I would reccomend you try a different one if you end up going the route of traction. it's not an easy or comfortable traction device.
Hello Betterbend,
Thank you very much for your contribution, I am grateful to you for it really.
In Spain there are no outstanding experts. In other specialties, like transplants, heart, etc... yes that there are very good professionals.
But in Peyronie not. I have visited 11 Spanish doctors and my experience has been bad. Not only for its absence of knowledge and of experience, but for its few "seriousness". Enough they keep on selling waves of shock like curative treatment against the Peyronie illness, and this to date of today is a shame, but skylight, they have bought the machine and have to amortize it.
They go to congresses and they all embrace each other and respect, but then some speak badly about others. Each one goes to his. They have ego great, and the worst thing of everything, a free ego, because they do not dominate the illness.
This not only I think it, but some sincere and honest doctor says it.
There is even, some doctor here who dares to speak badly about doctors of recognized prestige, when they are not anybody here.
It is discouraging, believe me.
I hope I did not have to move to the extrangero to treat my illness, I hope! but regrettably it is so.
A friendly big hug.
