Thanks for the reply!
Unfortunately RestoreX isn't available where I live (Japan), I've been thinking of trying another traction device (looking at Penimaster Pro which I think is PMP?) but I've heard the others aren't as recommended as RestoreX so I'm not sure if it's worth it. If it's better than nothing I'll try it but definitely don't want to do it if it might cause more damage. Do you think it would be better than nothing?

As for ED I'm really at a loss for what the issue is. It started extremely suddenly around 8-9 years ago, I went from having great erections to suddenly I couldn't get one at all overnight and it has never gone back to normal.
I eat healthy, exercise, never smoked, quit alcohol a few years ago... I've seen several doctors about it, had blood tests multiple times and testosterone is fine every time, it always gets to a point where the doctors just tell me they can't do anything about it. I feel like there is something physically wrong but when I ask the doctors about that they say everything seems fine and that it's rare for someone my age to have physical causes for ED (which is not helpful cause even if it's rare it could be possible, but I don't know what to tell them)
I've had ED in the past, but at that time it was psychological, and taking Cialis just once when I had sex pretty much got me over the mental issue and I never had issues again, this time is definitely different and not psychological as it feels physically wrong, but I don't know how to describe it or what could be wrong.
Sorry for the long post :P

It's easy to get caught up in the idea of adding more supplements to your routine, but honestly, it's all about balance. You don't want to overwhelm your body with too much at once, especially if you're already eating a balanced diet. For example, organic whey protein powder is a great supplement for building muscle and supporting recovery, but it shouldn't be a replacement for whole foods.

Penile Implants / Re: Titan or AMS700

Thanks for the feedback. Both of these surgeons are centers of excellence for their respective recommendations.

I agree w/ Mike, I think the daily cialis is good to promote blood flow & nocturnal erections, and taking it easy on the traction and VED in the acute phase. I panicked when I discovered some nodules and overpumped and used a traction device called PMP that I strapped to my leg and walked around town with it on but think it caused more damage. During acute phase VED and traction might help but in my humble opinion you shouldn't go as hard as after it eventually subsides and you are left with whatever scarring happens during acute. Eventually I went to a urologist who recommended VED and restorex, which is what I do now 1x per day and wish I had gone straight to restorex (expensive) instead of some of the other traction devices out there. For VED I use a SomaErect stf. They can probably ship it international.
Also- if you've had ED at your age for 8 years, you might take a look at lifestyle.  How is your diet, sleep, exercise and bodyweight? Are you drinking or smoking? Testosterone plays a major role in libido and erectile function, as does cardio health. You could also potentially schedule a telehealth visit with a doctor in the US.

Penile Implants / Re: Titan or AMS700

Quote from: OnCloud on Yesterday at 12:45:32 PMI met with 2 different high volume surgeons as part of my due diligence before getting the implant. One recommended the Titan and the other the AMS700. My preference is rigidity to help straighten the curve with minimal ad hoc procedures besides the implant placement. Am I splitting hairs or are they about the same in curvature correction?

My first implant was a Titan, I also had pyronies and the surgeon told me that the Titan has thick cylinder material and will help straighten it up by breaking up a lot of the fibrosis..  The Titan lasted 5yrs and had to get another implant which occurred 8 months ago.  I went to the same surgeon and he now recommended the AMS LGX but I would be on a waiting list, forget that, so I started researching and found another surgeon through the centers of excellence on the mfg site, went to him and he told me the same thing AMS, I went through with my second surgeon and he did an excellent job.  I have just as rigid erection as the Titan and my penis looks,hangs, feels more natural than the Titan.  Do not get me wrong the Titan works and a lot of guys have them... They also have AMS,  my erection is not exactly straight nor was it with the Titan but after 5yrs it had straightened quite a bit.

May he rest in peace. I want to express my deep gratitude to him for his contributions to this community. My condolences go out to his loved ones.

Thank you  :)  when I was on antidepressants last year I mentioned that I wanted to avoid ones which would impact ED since I struggle with that so they tried some different ones that are supposed to not have an effect on that, so I'll be sure to emphasize that when I consult again this time. And maybe it's not the right mindset but I'm also at a point where I feel like even if the antidepressant does worsen my ED, I've already been pretty much unable to have erections or sex for so long now I feel like it can't really get much worse anyway (but maybe that is naive)

You are not ranting and it is good that you are being responsible for your mental health. Worrying alone is a big erection killer but you also need to realize that if you are taking any meds for depression that these can also contribute to ED. You are not a rare case for contracting peyronies. The disease does not discriminate when it comes to age. There have been 18 year olds here on the forum as well as 70 year olds who have battled this disease.  :)

Thank you for the reply! I will take a look at the Survival Guide as well.

And yes it seems difficult to get treatment here in Japan, they don't do injection treatments and it seems RestoreX is not available here either so I feel quite limited in my options. I'll try seeing a different doctor and ask them about some of the other treatments and about trying daily Cialis.

I am probably also going to go to a mental health clinic about anxiety and depression, I've had depression in the past but stopped taking medication for it last year, but I feel like all of this is really taking a toll on me mentally as well. I also had varicocele surgery last year so between that and having ED for 8+ years and now Peyronie's it's all very frustrating, all the doctors keep telling me that these are all rare for someone my age and yet I'm getting hit with them all at once.

Anyway sorry to rant, I will look into some of the things you suggested, thank you again!
