Peyronie's Disease

[Guest]

I AM A 54 YEAR OLD MALE ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO I NOTICED A SMALL NODULE IN MY PENIS. AT POINT I NOTICED A SLIGHT BENDING ABOUT TWO INCHES FROM TIP DURING ERECTIONS.SINCE I WORRIED I MENTIONED IT TO MY GP DURING MY ANNUAL PHYS. I ADVISED NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT IF I CAUSED NO PROBLEMS DURING URINATION OR INTERCSE. AS TIME WENT BY NODLE EIR GOT LARGER OR RE MORE OF M. BEND IN MY PENIS BECAME SO PRONOUNCED I AWAKENED WHEN I HAD MY NIGHTLY ERECTIONS INTERCSE HAS BECOME IMPOSSIBLE. MY GP REFERED ME TO A UROLOGIST, WHO DIAGNOSED PEYRONIES. IT HAS BEEN A YEAR NO IMPROVEMENT BEND IS SO SEVERE NOW WHEN I AM FULLY ERECT HEAD OF MY PENIS ACTUALLY TOUCHES BASE EFFECTIVELY FOLDING IT IN HALF. I TAKE DOSES OF VITAMIN E UROLOGIST I AM SEEING HAS PUT ME ON TOPICAL APPLICATION OF VERAPAMIL. HE FEELS SURGERY USUALLY DOES NOT HAVE A POSITIVE RESULT. HAVING VIEWED QUESTIONS ANSWERS ON SITE I AM WONDERING IF I SHOULD FIND SOMEONE WHO IS MORE INCLINED TO OPERATE VERAPAMIL IS HAVING NO EFFECT. HAVE NOT TRIED INJECTIONS HOWEVER.SORRY ABOUT LENGTH OF QUESTION , DO HAVE ANY ADVICE?

It sounds to me that you may be one of those few who need, and may get, a good response from surgical intervention. Consider another opinion.

Hate to disappoint you, but I have tried everything too. The injections opposed to the cream still did not do anything. The doctor said something about a higher success rate with collagenase injections, but it seems the FDA is dragging their feet. My next jump is to have surgery. At this point it is better than nothing because I am not enjoying anything in this condition. If it fails then nothing is really lost in my point of view. I wish you luck in this experience.
