34 Year Old w/ Recent Peyronie's
Posted: Sat Jun 27, 2020 2:20 am
Hi All,
This is my first post here, but have been lurking for the past month.
Here's a little bit about my story. I took finasteride for 2 years for hair loss.
About two months ago i started to encounter ED where i couldn't have sex with my wife. Up until then i had ED but never really thought much of it. I just though i was masturbating too much.
This time though, the ED was pretty sudden. I was having anal sex with my wife when i felt my erection just go away. That day i quite finasteride cold turkey and had a sever crash the following weeks. I believe i am a sufferer of PFS.
Before that i had noticed how my dick had become like a noodle and was hard to keep an erection. I had to hold it by the base to be able to masturbate. I hadn't really thought much of it and continued to masturbate.
Anyway, after that day i couldn't get an erection for about three weeks. I was freaking out but couldn't get a doctor's appointment because of my inexperience navigating the medical system, even though I have PPO insurance. I was finally able to get an erection, in fact it was the best erection of my life. However, after that day i started having pain all over my penis and little nodules started popping up. I couldn't get another erection for a week or so, and when i did it curved to the left and i freaked out and was finally able to see a urologist.
They diagnosed me with Peyronie's disease. It's been two months since. I was prescribed the usual cocktail of Pentox, Cialis, and L-Citruline. Over the past few months the disease. has gotten worse. I have had 4 different nodules in my penis and i have a curve to the left and about a 15-20 degree dorsal curve.
You can find more details in the Peyronie's forum: https://www.peyroniesforum.net/index.ph ... 489.0.html and the Propecia Help forum: https://forum.propeciahelp.com/t/34-yea ... s/43795/39
The curve is disturbing to me but the ED has only gotten worse. Lately even 5mg cialis is not giving me nighttime erections. I'm barely able to hit 7 inches erection this morning, but they're short lived erections. I cannot have sex with my wife anymore.
Today i'm noticing my penis skin loose and more wrinkly and i know for a fact im starting to lose length. Up until now i hadn't done much traction or VED due to fear of aggravating things. I've lost hope that things will get better. I don't want to waste more time trying out viagra, injections, etc.
I have talked this over with my brother and i'm encouraged to just get the implant right away. I refuse to allow this disease take more length away from me. I have decided to get an implant.
My insurance has a stipulation where i must have Peyronie's and ED for a year before i qualify. But I don't care. I will try to appeal saying that the longer i wait the more distress i'm in, that cialis causes side effects (vision), etc. I still doubt they'll help me. But my brother is willing to help me and i can get a credit card to pay for this.
My wife doesn't want me to get it and wants me to 'wait it out'. But i don't care what she thinks. This is my penis.
So, after being unable to get an erection and seeing my skin start to get wrinkles i've decided to get an implant ASAP. I've already talked to Dr. Kramer's office and they estimated a 4 week wait time which is pretty good. I would love to go with Dr. Eid. I've heard he's a little bit more aggressive with sizing. I'm willing to do cycling.
However, i haven't talked to Dr. Eid yet and not sure what the wait time would be.
But as of now all i want is to keep my current length of 7 inches. If i can get rid of the curves and the wasting i'd be very happy with 7 inches and a straight penis.
I'm thinking a Titan 26cm would be best. I can take the pain and cycle, i will mention this to the doctor.
I've come here to just vent and tell my story and my decision. I have a few questions:
* Should i do more aggressive VED, been very careful up until now not ever hitting a full erection
* I've ordered a RestoreX - it'll be here on Tuesday, is it smart to use that a bit more aggressively
The risk is that i'm at the acute stage and if i aggravate it and cause inflammation and there's a delay (e.g. Covid) then i will cause further shortening.
You can see some pictures of my penis - both old and new here: https://www.peyroniesforum.net/index.ph ... 694.0.html
As you can see i can hit 7 inches stretched and with an erection. But i'm scared by the time the doctor measures me i would have lost some erect length due to very poor erections.
Sorry that this post is kind of all over the place but just a lot has happened in the last two months. I'm also on a diet with a BMI of 26%. I'm trying to get it down ASAP in preparation for my operation. Does it make a big difference?
Thanks a lot brothers and please let me know your thoughts and opinions. I'm willing to be the guinea pig for getting an implant so soon after Peyronie's diagnosis. I know guys that wait and wait and some get better most get worse.
Thanks!
