Poll: lasting damage from intracavernosal injections

Postby HeavyMetalFan » Fri Dec 19, 2025 5:09 am

Sorry if something similar has been posted before.

I think it could be a good idea to collect data on lasting penile damage from intracavernosal injections. So here’s a poll!

This relates to fibrosis, peyronie’s, lumps, penile shorting. Anything, really! There are only two caveats: the damage must be within the penis (meaning not just on the skin), and you must have not made a full recovery from the damage.

Please select one option from answer #1, one option from answer #2, and one option from answer #3

Re-voting is allowed, so you may come back later and change your answer.

Edit: thanks for the answers so far, guys! Keep them coming!

As a side note, it may be a good idea to do vacuum therapy alongside injections (but at least a few hours apart)

My rationale is that injections can cause fibrosis, and Peyronie’s can form from fibrosis. Vacuum therapy can treat and prevent Peyronie’s through various mechanisms, some of which are anti-fibrotic.

It therefore stands that in principle vacuum therapy can prevent some complications from long-term intracavernosal injections.

I appreciate the question. I have no discernible fibrosis but I am being very watchful. In addition to looking myself, I have my urologist check me on every visit so I can detect it as early as possible if it should appear. It's helpful to see the responses here, either way.
