Time and time again here we go...Any cream applied externally does not penetrate deep enough to correct any form of peyronies. Search the forum. This is just a big $$$ maker for the manufacturers. Also do the prescribing Dr's get a kickback?

I was doing manual traction today for curvature, and for the first time I noticed that my curve was only about 10° at peak erection. This appears to be a major improvement.

When I first started this journey of recovery my curvature would mostly rest at 40°, but would go to about 30° if I was getting consistent weekly blood flow, had a good day, and peak erection.

After some months of doing the work, my curvature started resting at 30° most of the time, and would go to 20° on a good day when I had a peak erection.

Today I noticed that my curvature was at 30° while I was partly erect, then it eventually went to 20° when I was erect. I did some manual traction at this point, and then I noticed about 10° of curvature at peak erection.

I'm seeing much better results from doing manual traction for curvature instead of using Restorex.

I will continue to use Restorex for lengthening though.

I think the reason why I'm seeing better results with manual traction is because my curvature begins at about the middle of my penis which makes it difficult for Restorex to target. Manual traction allows me to target the point of curvature more precisely.

Hopefully my penis will eventually rest at 10° instead of it just being like that at peak erection. I'm feeling victorious 🏆

Last post by Jubilee - September 28, 2024, 01:19:42 PM
I got peyronies in 2010 from injecting heroin into my penis 1 time. Ive delt with addiction my whole life but got clean briefly in 2017 and had and I duped erection and ultrasound. No visible plaque and 50 degree left and 30 up curvature amd doctor reccomended graft. Relapsed shortly after but fast forward to Now that I've been in recovery 3 years im finally dealing with it and went back to the same doctor who is the best in my state and who does lots of these, we had an initial visit, and I expressed my interest in the plication be are I have very strong elections but having lost so much length and girth and he said well do another elections ultrasound test and if he thinks its possible then I can decide which. He's told me the pros and cons of each. Im just curious if anyone has this surgery without having visible/no plaque and how it turned out?

Penile Implants / Re: When to pull the trigger

It's an individual decision. Everyone knows when they have reached the point. I think it's kinda like this, once you know you know, there will be absolutely no hesitancy regarding the decision to get implanted on.

Clavell is a very experienced and good implant surgeon, as is Hakky, Eid etc. If you have the money to do the procedure, I would say don't waste any time, Hakky, Eid, or Clavell, either of those would be great.

They have saved the sex lives of countless of men.

Yes, I have no problems with having sex. There is no pain.

@BentKnob I really appreciate you for sharing your insights.

Are you able to have sex with 20-30 degree curvature without hurting yourself or the woman?

I've never heard of anyone using Contractbuex for peyronies disease.

I'm very skeptical in this working.

Hello to everyone, I have been using Contractubex cream for almost 5 months, and in the meantime, my friend and I had a check-up with the doctor. I promised to report back, so... here I'am.

First of all, I wanted to get back to the questions that was asked to me during my personal presentation on the forum, by the user #PeyroniKirai, and the question was:
QuotePlease check with him/her, and please question if he really thinks Contractubex could be effective for removing plaque on the tunica of the penis -- the tunica is underneath the skin which prevents absorption.  I would be very interested in hearing any medical logic as to why this could be a valid therapy.

The answer was short, yes it can. There wasn't too much explanation about it, and of course I didn't want to offend the doctor, so I didn't insist on details. I can't dispute the doctor, but I can't confirm that it is so either.

Related to the examination, the plaque on my glans partially receded, but I got a new plaque on the left side, so the curvature at the top decreased, but I got a slight curve to the left. I use only Contractubex and vitamin E, 400 IU, and I can't say how much is the merit of that therapy and how much is some other factor.

I mentioned that I have a friend who has a more difficult problem. He did the ultrasound and it was found that his plaque did not shrink, and not getting bigger, but it lost its density. At rest, his penis is straighter, but in erection it is curved again. My friend has used a lot of things in the last 12 months (verapamil cream, Advantan cream, verapamil injections, Potaba pills, vitamin E), so it is even more difficult to determine what "helped" the plaque to lose density.

Generally, doctor said that this is a good progress and recommend to continue with the Contractubex cream and to start with the Phallosan-forte stretching device therapy. He gives to Phallosan an edge over the Restorex that we asked about. He believes that Phallosan is better and that it is also a recommendation from the clinic in Germany where he worked before.

I'm not favoring any of the mentioned, I'm just stating how the medical examination went.

So much from me for this occasion. If anyone has similar experience with Contractbuex or with the Phallosan-forte device please write. I need to check if there is a thread about this Phalossan device...

Also, if you have any questions regarding this topic, I am available.

The next medical appointment is after 6-7 months from today, and after that I will write again with new information.

Best regards to everyone, be well.

I haven't been doing traction long or that consistently with Restorex and have had great improvement.

My penis had thinning at the base, a sharp turn to the left, an indent where the plaque was.

By looking at my penis from a knowledgeable perspective you would know it was peyronies disease.

Now the indent has been filled and the curve is more gradual than sharp.

My penis isn't back to being straight as it was and never will be.

However, if you were to look at my penis now it looks like a congenital curvature.

I even had a compliment from a woman recently when receiving oral. Her words were "It has a good curve on it!" so that was reassuring.

I hope my condition remains as it does for the rest of my life and doesn't worsen.

I can be happy and content with my penis as it stands.

Taking 5mg Tadalafil a day and coming off 1mg Finasteride (which I was taking for 10 years) has also been a huge help.

I have the hardest erections and highest libido now then ever. I don't remember this since my teenage years.

Welcome to the forum Epictetus008 and this is the correct place to begin your first posting. Please take the time and fill out your signature line ==>Signature Line. This will give you a better member response. Then please download and study our survival guide -->Survival Guide . This gives you a comprehensive overview of peyronies and it's treatments.

Sorry to hear about your injury. Penile fractures from women on top are common but your situation regarding your ligament being torn is another thing. Hopefully there are other members who have experienced this. Whether this will turn into peyronies or not is something you will have to wait and see.

It is a good thing that you have the smarts to go to other Dr's to see if they could help you. Are you close to Chicago or Utah? I say that because Dr Levine is based in Chicago and is in my opinion one of the peyronies specialist and also my Dr. You could also see Dr Trost in Utah who is also a peyronies specialist. He is also one of the Dr's here on our forum who answers questions from members. You might try to ask him a question regarding your case. 

I believe in your case I would approach things this way as you do have a tear. First I would be very careful regarding any sexual activity including masturbation. Second I would take penile length/girth measurements for a baseline starting point. Then last thing is I would still try to take your test result to a Dr who may be able to give you some educated info if surgery for attaching things is in order or not. You should be careful if you are looking into traction or VED as you do not want to completely tear your ligament. These two therapies for peyronies are successful to different degrees and a lot of members use them in their plan of action. Just keep an eye on your anxiety level and know that all of us men here have gone through something similar regarding our prized penises.             :)
