Firstly, let me say, what a relief this ‘community’ has been.
I am a 37yo, living in Sydney, NSW Australia. I have Type 1 diabetes (and have had so for 25 years). I have suffered from ED the past 8-9years, which has resulted in me being prescribed Cialis & Viagra, to which I’ve had a mixed response, nothing spectacular. About 8-9 months ago, I was prescribed Caverject by my Endocrinologist, which worked a dream (in that on a very low dose, I was able to sustain a decent erection). However, jabbing myself with a syringe in order to have an erection, with a max. usage of three times per week, just didn’t cut it. Around 5 months ago, I discovered this (almost 90 degree) bend in my penis, toward the very head. I feel as though it happened overnight.
Spoke with my endo, he firmly believes it is Peyronie’s disease, and has asked me to see a Urologist. To say that the news devastated me, would be an understatement. After doing some online ‘research’, I looked at the treatment for Peyronies, and the most recommended treatment for men with both ED & Peyronie’s is an implant. Whilst I’m not 100% certain of having an implant at my age, I am gradually coming to terms with the idea. I have fear that sensation would be lost, that I’ll lose size, that sex won’t feel as it does, complications of surgery...and the list goes on (I’m sure you’re all aware).

Any help/suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a million!
