If you Peyronies is "Active"...  I don't know of anything that can stop it. But traction, VED, etc. can help minimize the impact.

I've been on this forum for a long time. And I have seen many images. Some posted on the forum and some sent to via email. It presents really normal to me. I agree with the prior post that without before and after pictures none of us can tell you anything. I really don't understand what you are concerned about.

Hi everyone! I hope you're all doing well, and that your penises are in good health! :)

Some time ago, I purchased RestoreX and began doing traction exercises, following advice from this helpful forum as well as by the user manual of the device.

The issue I'm facing, and I'd appreciate your help with, is as follows:
I have a main plaque located near the base of the penis, with a distance from the tip of the penis to the curvature of approximately 8.5 cm from the beginning of the glans (my curvature is to the left side). When I try to use RestoreX by turning it to the right (the opposite direction), I can't seem to generate traction right over the area of the plaque, as it remains far behind the pivot point.

I've read the manual, and the recommendations there still suggest using the stop at 60° and that traction will work fine anyway:

QuoteWhat if my curvature is further back on the penis than the point of bending? This is acceptable. In a clinical trial evaluating RestoreX, curvatures that were closer to the body responded just as well as those that were directly over the point of bending. Bending is important because it allows more force to be applied to the direction of curvature than other areas of the penis. If the distance from the Penis Tip to the curvature of your penis is greater than 4 inches, only use the first or second stop (30° of 60°). Limiting the angle of opposite force will increase the tension applied to the disease location.

Nevertheless, I still have doubts if the traction will be enough for the treatment to make sense and work the same.

I don't want to subject my penis to possible injuries, or even worse, generate new fibrous plaques in other areas of my penis.

Below, I'm posting photos to make my doubt more evident:

In the following photo I'm doing what's recommended by the manual (or I think so), bringing my penis to the second stop (60° angle) of torsion, maintaining Position 1. You can see in the white arrow where my fibrous plaque is located:

In contrast, in the following photo, I've tried an alternative which would be to put the screw in position 3 to extend more the penis in the upper area, trying to reach further down (my penis is small -.-).

I would like to have your opinions on which method you think is more efficient of both and if anyone had these same doubts could help me find the best method to use RestoreX as efficiently as possible, without causing harm to the penis in the process.

Awaiting your opinions, thank you very much in advance
...and sorry for my basic english (I'm native spanish)

Hello everyone, Thank you all for being here, for this supportive community. The short version is that I have four BB sized lumps along the left undercarriage. I did a string of Soundwave appointments in Los Angeles, (NOVUS) which cost a fortune and offered no beneficial result. I am working now with Mr. Meltings recommendations as described in his thoughtful and generous posts. I often feel pretty hopeless but I am persevering in hopes that I will be able to straighten the curvature. I am doing my best to be consistent with the recommended elements:vacuum, traction, and DMSO+. Feels like a full time job and I am challenged to find both the time and the privacy. No discernible effects yet, committed to the long haul and to progress!

Thanks for your response, and I'm sorry to hear that you've been going through a similar experience - it's really not a walk in the park.


Yeah, I've been using Soma Correct VED for quite a bit of time (medium size cylinder), and it feels great. I think my condition somewhat worsened when I was having about 2-3 months break from VED. Now, it's the first line defence that I use every time when the condition begins to worsen - just to stretch the tissue and limit the damage.

Regarding traction, I know that some people have had some negative experience to the point when traction worsened their condition. In my case, it's really difficult to link my worsening condition to traction, as I've never had any traction-related discomfort or pain.

I think one of my dents did worsen though when I was using Restorex. My glans slipped and the corpora contracted abruptly, which later did worsen one of the dents. Oh well. Except for this case, I've never had any bad experience.

As for my urologist, his position is that one should not get an implant unless EQ dramatically deteriorates. My situation is a bit bizarre because I've got quite a bit of scarring and lumps, but my EQ is okayish. With 2.5mg Tadafil I would never complain about my erections. Also, even though there's scarring present pretty much everywhere, it is less concentrated and less dense in some places. So, my guess for my urologist these two factors are important.

I don't have any issues with the curvature anymore but I do have an impressive amount of dents. Maybe I'll upload more pictures at some point later - to illustrate my point, lol. Overall it doesn't look too bad, but one can see that it's almost like it's been broken in several places.

Have you ever asked doctor Trost about your situation? Back in January, I asked him a question about the connection between Peyronies and diabetes because I believed it might have been related to the fact that my Peyronies never fully stabilised and reactivates every now and then (I don't have diabetes but used to have a bit high sugar levels). He mentioned that this situation is a bit unusual for Peyronies and would be more related to the hard flacid syndrome. https://www.peyroniesforum.net/index.php/topic,20010.0.html

Penile Implants / Implant Afterlife

Life with a penile implant is kinda like riding a bike with the kickstand always down.
