Implant with Peyronie's - experience?

Postby eisenhower » Fri Mar 20, 2015 9:57 am

Hi guys, first post for me here.

I'm 43 and have unfortunately had Peyronie's Disease for about 13 years. I had a a sudden onset (curvature) at age 31 which thankfully eased up and left me with a little head softness, but other than that, a straight (enough), functional penis, so I thought I'd escaped my run-in with PD fairly unscathed. Not so, however. In 2013, literally out of the blue, more lesions have developed and have remained "active" or inflamed for well over a year. These current "plaques" aren't causing bending, but they are causing the tell-tale Peyronie's indentations. They seem to be septal in nature (right on the divider between the two cavernosa).

As yet, I haven't lost any length, I just have odd depressions and indentations in various spots, mostly in the lower half of the penis (near the base). If they get worse, I can imagine it wrecking my ability to have a sound, rigid erection, but as it is, with daily Cialis, my erections are great.

All this is to say, I'm forced to contemplate the future, and that future entails at least the possibility of an inflatable implant.

Here's my thinking, and I would appreciate you guys with experience chiming in.

My natural erect length is around 7.5-7.75". This has not changed with PD. My girth at the base is about 5.25", but there's a section of the shaft that has always been larger, about 5.75". Based on this, I'm guessing the Titan would be the logical implant.

But my question is, for those who have had Peyronie's indentations, does the implant actually "push" these out? As far as I know, I've never had calcification, my scarring has always felt soft and pliable.

Second question is, with a disproportionate penis girth (larger in the middle than at the head or base), does an implant expand like a balloon into the wider portion to give you your full girth there, or does it only provide one uniform girth throughout?

Sorry for being so longwinded - just a lot to share to set up these questions.

Thanks,
eisenhower

I had upward curvature and still have ti to some degree with bulges at the base and on the side when I pump up to full hardness. Titan implant on 05/28/2014.

So, if I understand, you're saying that in areas where you naturally had "bulges," you get the same bulges with the implant, is that right?

I developed slight Peyronie's from using injections to treat my ED.

I had a slight curve to the left but the implant completed remedied that.

The implant also added a bit of girth, my length was largely preserved.

But blood flow to the glans when fully pumped is problematic (for me anyway)

Steve, where along the penis was your bend, and did the doctor have to go in and cut up the scar tissue to make you straight, or is the implant overpowering the Peyronie's scarring?

I dont know have not spoken direct to the doctor just his colleges - Once things were straight its forgotten so quickly - The end of my penis is not inline and appears to have a slight twist but now I am being picky it matters not - I am not taking it to a beauty pagent

My Penis was bent upwards at 40 degrees right in the middle as ED took effect of course It was not showing as bad
I received a copy of a letter the hospital sent to my local Doctor which said I have Peyronies and ED which is not really true
One the erections stopped so did the bend

I had two TURP surgeries that caused a boat load of scarring. The attached pic shows the bend in the shaft after those surgeries.
One infected implant (and its removal) cause more scar tissue to form. But the implant surgery itself took 7 hours, because the surgeons had to snip away so much scar tissue to get the cylinders into place.

Prior to my 2nd implant, my new surgeon removed a knot of scar tissue that had turned to bone, on the left side of the shaft.
The 2nd implant surgery took 5 hours, again to snip away at scar tissue to get the cylinders into place.
And 2 months ago, I had an additional surgery to remove 2 huge knots of scar tissue that had turned to bone and pushed the right cylinder out of place.

Yes, I lost length through all this, but a shorter penis beats the heck out of a flaccid long one!

2 TURP surgeries caused Peyronie's. 1st implant lost to infection, 2nd one is about 5 years old. But "floppy head" due to all the scar tissue, couldn't get tips all the way up.

Was keeping a record of how it got worse before the surgery
If I find them I will put on here
