Title: Some questions about ED due to fibrosis
Post by: giancolo on May 24, 2022, 02:46:53 PM
1. what is the difference between plaques of fibrosis and calcified plaques?
2. Is It possible to eliminate two plaques (4 cm one plaque and other 4 cm another plaque) if these two plaques are not calcified?

Thank you

Plage, scar, and fibrosis, are all different terms for the same thing.  Calcified means just what it says.  Calcium is deposited through the fibrosis.

It might thin, become pliable or stretch.  I think it is unlikely to get rid of plaque except by excision and grafting.

Thank you very much for you answer, Hawk. But: in your opinion, if the two plaques (4 cm one plaque and another 4 cm the other plaque) on the tunica albuginea are not perceptible by no one through touching the penis (but are diagnosed by the ecography) that means that these plaques are not severe and so they are fluffy?

I think soft is a more accurate word than fluffy.  Fluffy is like a pile of soft feathers or a cotton ball. 

If they cannot be felt with the fingers, they are soft or pliable.  That does not mean they will always stay that way but stretching now when they are soft might regain any lost length or keep you from losing any.  That means gentle mechanical traction not pulling with your hand.
