I was just prescribed 5mg of Cialis for peyronies.Apparently, the extra blood flow can help with symptoms.

Do you know of anyone who has improved their condition with Cialis?

Thanks. I just filled in my signature.

The base of my penis being thicker than the other half is what really bothers me. I don't feel any pain, I just don't like the look of it and it causes condoms to always roll up to the middle of my penis.

The loss of length is the other thing that really bothers me.

I don't have pain or Erectile Dysfunction.

The thickness doesn't seem to exactly be the typical "hour glass" symptom because my penis got thicker not thinner. It happened after intense kegels.

My current PA recommended Cialis and a penis pump for 7 weeks and then Xiaflex if those things don't work. I may try Restorex for 3 months before doing any injections though.

Does anyone know if Restorex works during thr stable phase of Peyronies?

Restorex can be beneficial especially during the early stages of peyronies but you can also receive some improvements later on. Cialis and like drugs bring in fresh oxygen and stretches out the tissues and reduces inflammation. You need to start a plan and work it. You need to adopt the mindset that this is a marathon and not a sprint. Xiaflex has been proven to work in the hands of a skilled surgeon - one I would recommend is Dr Trost as he has developed his own successful regimen on administering the drug.

I haven't but I think traction is helping. Cialis is definitely good for blood flow though.

It's good to hear that you're exploring options to manage Peyronie's disease (Peyronies Disease).

Cialis might improve erectile function and potentially help with penile curvature and other symptoms of Peyronies Disease by enhancing blood flow and possibly reducing fibrosis. However, the evidence specifically supporting Cialis for structural changes in Peyronies Disease is limited and mixed.

Penis pumps are often recommended to help maintain penile length and improve curvature by promoting blood flow and stretching the penile tissues. Regular use as directed by your healthcare provider may help in managing the condition.

RestoreX is an FDA-cleared traction device designed specifically for Peyronie's disease. Studies and clinical experiences have shown that traction therapy can be beneficial in both the acute and stable phases of Peyronies Disease. It aims to reduce curvature and improve length by applying gentle, sustained tension. Many patients have reported positive results with consistent use over several months.

Your PA's approach of combining Cialis with a penis pump and considering Xiaflex injections is in line with multi-modal treatment strategies often recommended for Peyronies Disease. Xiaflex (collagenase clostridium histolyticum) is used to break down the scar tissue causing the curvature. Starting with less invasive treatments like Cialis and mechanical traction before moving to injections is a common strategy to manage symptoms and potentially avoid more invasive procedures.

Overall, it's encouraging that you're considering a structured treatment plan. Monitoring your progress and staying in touch with your healthcare provider will be key. If you decide to try RestoreX, be patient and consistent with its use as results often take several months to become noticeable. If these methods don't provide sufficient improvement, discussing further options like Xiaflex injections with your provider will be the next step.
