Anyone with IPP that did not have ED?

Hi all,

I have reached out to a few surgeons to discuss this. The reason is that I have Peyronies and despite it being what some may consider mild at this stage (probably still acute), the advancement of fibrosis, shortening and thinning is something I am not equipped to endure mental and physically and it is affecting all aspects of my life tremendously. I am 38 in a stable relationship but this is having a more than devastating toll on my quality of life. Reading about 95% of the Peyronies veterans experience is unfortunately very depressing but a likely outcome for most with PD. Now when PD sufferers get to the IPP stage the level of satisfaction changes dramatically.

I am doing all the medication and therapies known to man but I need to know there is a nuclear option (not without its significant disadvantages) that can get me rid of the daily depression and anguish of living with PD. (In my mind learning to live with an IPP is a minor inconvenience compared to the shackles of PD)

Knowing that IPPs are normally seen as an end-of-the-line treatment by most doctors, some won't even offer it unless there is refractory ED, I would like to ask the forum if there are others in my situation that have decided to take that leap or others that regret not taking it earlier.

Thank you

So you have tried traction therapy? I was in a similar situation and traction therapy stopped PD from advancing. I used the Restorex device that was developed by a top Urologist. Expensive but worth it, insurance may have paid for it if I would have followed up and pushed the issue.

It also increased my stretched flaccid length almost 2" in 6 months of once a day use. Looking back, I believe that helped ensure the best outcome of the IPP.

I am still currently working on the depression, even after becoming bionic with a great outcome. It's slowly getting better.

Yes, doing traction VED, all the pills etc. I see you did move to an an IPP.
The thing is that most here develop PD after ED and I am in a different situation at the moment.

For me knowing that an IPP is a choice I take would help alleviate the depression.
