Title: Semi rigid curve
Post by: Kobegianna on April 06, 2022, 01:46:10 PM
I have had Peyronie's for 1 full year. I would say I lost up to half an inch to an inch both length and girth. My hourglassing and dents have not changed since their initial appearance. My erection quality I would say is about 80 percent of what it was.

The only change I have seen in the last year is that there is a pronounced curve when I am semi erect or when my etection is coming down after ejacualtion.

To all the veterans that have had Peyronie's for couple years. Does semi erect curvature always lead to erect curvature in time? Is it inevitable? Obvisouly there is some damage going on cauing the curvature but still elastic enough to fill fill out when erect. However my fear is that over time whatever is happening is going to show up when full erect.

Hi Kobegianna,
I'm just one of many so I hope others will chime in, but my experience is that until I woke up one morning with an erection which was distinctly bent to the left, I never really noticed nor cared if my penis was curved when flaccid.  It just seemed to be a function of whether I was cold or not, or if I had just taken off tight pants (like cycling shorts).  Once I realized I had Peyronie's I started consciously straightening out my penis to the right whenever I wear cycling shorts, or even hanging over to the right inside boxer shorts. 
  When you get a suit made at an old-fashioned tailor they ask you "do you dress to the left or the right?" which means which side does your dick hang?  Mine always hung more to the left, and then when I got Peyronies Disease the curve was to the left.   So far it has been stable and I have a dent instead of a full hourglass effect.  So I can't really say for sure if the mild curve I had most of my life actually led to the more severe Peyronies Disease curve.  But I can say for sure:  now that I have the curve I always consciously try to hang it or place it so it curves the opposite direction as the dent, even right down to trying to sleep on my right side so it hangs to the right instead of the left. 
  Others please write your experiences.

My Peroynes started with a minor dent on the left making my penis leaning slightly to the left. Then I started to do traction like crazy, months later I developed the "hinge" effect only when is semi-erected, when is hard I my penis become stable. Then I increased my traction but never to the point where is painful, well after doing so much traction I made things worse, now my penis has lost rigidity and my dent became more pronounce. The point is to be very careful with : Traction, VED, PRP injections and other "therapies", they may help you, keep it the same or made it worse

My semi erect curvature disappeared after about 8 month from my initial injury and it's straight now. It might just be a temporary thing for you too hopefully

I also have deformation in the semi-erect state, and a little in the flaccid state... in 7 years my erect state is still almost the same, although manual traction made things a little worse (loss of elasticity, hardening of the glans, worsened orgasm, slightly increased my curve in the semi-erect/flaccid state).
My experience with manual traction is that in the short term it relieves a lot of symptoms, like it breaks down the fibrosis, and then it hardens again or even a bit more.
