This stuff literally reverses fibrosis according to the studies that have been done on it so far. I understand that its hard to get a hold of, but is there literally no one that has tried this out for peyronies/corporal fibrosis?

Penile Implants / Re: Suppleness and softness.
Last post by Hawk - March 20, 2024, 04:16:33 PM
The problem with your characterization of your penis being "hard and rubbery" is that it is so subjective.  I am not even sure I know what that means.  "Hard" and "rubbery" seem almost like they could contradict each other.  What does it compare to?  What terms would you have used to describe it before Peyronies Disease? I am not even sure if you mean when flaccid, when erect, or both.

I noticed no real change in the general texture of my penis, and I am very satisfied that my erect (inflated) penis feels very natural, even under close inspection.  My flaccid/deflated penis is longer than pre-peyronies, and it does NOT feel natural when in a deflated state with a Titan implant.  I am, however, completely satisfied since people generally do not handle my deflated penis.

The key question is, do you get erections that reliably last for the satisfaction of you and your partner?  A very natural feeling flaccid penis is of little use if it is not capable of reliable intercourse.

If you are in Brazil, go to the doctor in Porto Alegre known as Alessandro Rossol. He really helped me a lot. He was the only one who said that the curvature wouldn't come back and gave me hope. Plus, he is the most specialized doctor I know. And I've been to several.

Using ChatGPT to write in English.

Alright, my story basically boils down to congenital curvature, impulsiveness in decision-making, and regret over having undergone the initial surgery (for more information, it's available in my other posts).

Putting my story aside for a moment, I'll share everything I've learned about surgeries for curved penises. Through numerous research efforts, I won't cite articles here, but if you search online, you'll definitely find them.

There are several surgical methods to treat penile curvature.

1- Nesbit: This was the first method created and consists of making incisions in the tunica albuginea to straighten the penis (to reach the tunica albuginea, they typically perform a postectomy and an incision at the site to uncover the penis, but I will talk more about this later; first, let's focus on surgical methods) and subsequently using non-absorbable suture to close the incisions and see if everything is properly aligned. -> Positive aspects: It often corrects the curvature. Negative aspects: Higher chance of causing impotence (especially for those already experiencing erection problems and Peyronie's disease), use of non-absorbable sutures (this alone is questionable, as imagine having sutures that could potentially harm you for the rest of your life, (I did not undergo the Nesbit procedure, but the use of non-absorbable surgical sutures always bothered me and caused discomfort and embarrassment)).


2- Modified Nesbit / plication: The difference from the previous one is that it is not necessary to make incisions in the tunica albuginea. It was the method initially used by me. It consists of simply folding the tunica albuginea and then using sutures to maintain the curvature in place. Positive aspects: Corrects curvature, very low risk of impotence. Negative aspects: Existence of permanent surgical suture in the penis that may cause discomfort for the rest of life.

3- Plication using Nesbit and absorbable sutures: In this case, to straighten the penis, they also make incisions in the tunica albuginea. However, they aim to make small incisions along the tunica, thus reducing the risk of sexual impotence. Additionally, long-term absorbable surgical sutures are used to heal the penis in the desired position. Therefore, there will be no discomfort regarding the sutures in the long term as they will disappear.

4- Plication with graft : Seems dangerous, I think. I haven't studied it much.

5- Prosthesis

Speaking a little about the incisions for the surgery, there are basically three types.

1- Incision through prepuce removal: Essentially, it involves performing a prepuce removal, accessing the internal layers of the penis through this incision. Advantages: Aesthetically pleasing. Disadvantages: Some individuals report loss of sensitivity.

2- Incision along the length of the penis: It involves a cut along the body of the penis, avoiding the need to remove the prepuce. This method may result in a less aesthetically pleasing outcome as it leaves a mark on the penis. However, if done well, I consider it better for sensitivity issues. I used this method in both my first and most recent surgeries. The first one significantly affected my self-esteem as the inexperienced doctor left ugly marks. However, in the second surgery, the doctor worked with precision and left everything perfect.



MY PERSONAL OPINION:


My personal opinion now, and something that nobody really talks about: Recently, I underwent a second surgery because the first one wasn't well-executed. Always aim for the best possible doctor, a specialist. If you don't do this, you might regret it immensely.

If I were to choose for my first surgery, I would definitely opt for the Nesbit procedure with long-term absorbable sutures. This is because there is a low risk of impotence and no risk of having surgical sutures bothering you for the rest of your life, requiring a second surgery to remove them (which I had to do recently). However, this is a personal choice, and you will certainly need to evaluate the risks for yourself.


I wanted to remove those sutures for a long time, but I was afraid that removing them would cause the curvature to return. However, to my surprise, it seems that the use of threads in the plication, even without an incision, was able to cause some fibrosis inside my penis and maintain its shape even after removing those threads. I'm only on the eighth day of recovery from surgery, but this has made me very happy. You have no idea.
I'm not sure if for everyone the removal of the threads keeps the penis the same, and I consulted quite a few doctors. Most said that my penis would return to being curved. However, it remained exactly the same after the removal of these threads, and I hope it stays that way. My penis isn't completely straight and has a slight rotation, but it doesn't bother me at all.

And one more thing, make sure you really need the surgery. I was very young and immature, and I had the surgery without thinking about the consequences. If I could go back, I would have thought a lot before doing it and seen if it was really necessary. Anyway, I hope I've helped someone in some way.

Penile Implants / Re: Deciding to get an implant
Last post by Pdxguy - March 20, 2024, 01:02:30 PM
Hi Hawk,

I understand and it is very interesting how each doctor has a slightly different protocol. I respect what you are saying. The main reason I was told to pull down on the pump was to make sure it settles lower in my scrotum. My pump is not attached to the scrotum wall, I can move it around with ease. I just feel some tissue connected. Overall my pain has been pretty low, thankfully.

Semi erect curve is way worse than fully erect for me, probably double as much curve when semi-erect compared to full erection.
And at the beginning it was the same as you, sometimes noticeable sometimes less so when semi-erect. Even now, sometimes my semi erection is straight, but the majority of the time the curve is there when semi-erect. But the fully erect state is always the same now with a 20 degree curve.

And for the part about the injury being 2 months ago regarding traction, I honestly have no clue. I didn't start traction until 6 months after my symptoms began.

Hey Lostand,
thank you for your answer. I will definitely ask my doc about the devices you mentioned. But do you think when the injury was only 2 months ago traction wouldn't cause more injurys or is it safe. I also have another question regarding your curve. Ist the curve still bigger in semi erect state or ist your erect curve now exactly the same like the semi erect one. And did you experience the semi erect curve always in the beginning? Because sometimes it's more noticeable for me and then there are erections where its less noticeable?

My onset was the same, curve in semi erect state that would straighten out when fully erect. Though I do not remember the moment of injury.

It took a while for my fully erect state to also curve, maybe 3 months, but now it does and still curves when both semi-erect and fully erect.

At the time before I had any fully erect curvature, I read into it online and saw that semi erect curves are deemed hard-flaccid, and not peyronies, and so I ignored it, didn't try any treatment because hard-flaccid wasn't something that bothered me.

Turns out it ended up being peyronies. So my advice would be that even if you read a semi erect curve isn't peyronies and rather it's hard flaccid, I would probably still keep treating it as if it is peyronies, to hopefully prevent it from worsening and effecting your fully erect state over time.

Probably start traction with the RestoreX which only requires 30 mins a day, or Penimaster Pro if you can't afford the RestoreX. Though the Penimaster Pro requires significantly more time daily. Consult with your doctor first before trying anything however. Listen to your body also.

Also you should probably try abstaining from sexual activity for a bit to let it recover. I didn't lol. But I remember how it felt in the early days, it felt like my penis was using all it's strength to get to semi-erect, it just felt tired. Like if you try and do one last set of bicep curls after a long arm workout.

Introduce Yourself / Pain and semi erect curve afte...
Last post by Lpeypee - March 20, 2024, 08:32:37 AM
Hello Guys,

I have some questions and I hope to get some help. I felt a sharp pain during masturbation with strong grip 2 months ago. Since then I am experiencing sharp pains, burning sensations and dull aches in my flaccid and erect penis. What concerns me the most ist that my penis in semi erect state is curving very much like 30 degrees to the left at the point where the pain is coming from. When its fully erect there is no curve and everything looks normal. I'm currently taking Cialis 5mg before sleep, L-Arginin, L-Carnitine and Vitamin E. Will the curve over time be noticeable in erect state? Did anyone of you experienced same onset of peyronies? Can it be a normal healing wound because of the missing curve when erect? Can it be something else that is not peyronies?

Thank you guys
