Dr. Herazy,
I have been married for 10 years.. 46 years old.. had sex the other night it seemed like my penis had a leather strap around the lower bottom.. and was not stable.. it has a indention all the way around the lower part and it also has a lump or bump in it and with this comes pain.. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED OVER NIGHT! I am shocked and scared.. My wife and I have always had a healthy sexual relationship and this is frightening to think that this has happened out of thin air. It has cut down on the size of my penis and the sensation is not there that was before!
I have had issues with my testicles, especially the left.. swelling at times and after having back surgery in 2009 NO DOCTORS could figure out what was making my left testicle swell. Felt like someone had kicked me down in the groin for 6 weeks and finally went to a pain management Doctor and they did a Caudal Block Injection… right above the crack of my rear end. He said that during the back surgery they may have got into those nerves but all I know is with in 5 minutes of the injection I felt relief after 6 weeks of feeling like someone had kicked me.. the nausea, stomach pain, and testicle pain.. the whole works finally subsided.
Does this go away like it came or is this for the rest of my life?
Thanks,
Robert
Greetings Robert,
Your description makes it sound like you have Peyronie's disease, although it is not possible to know for certain without a direct physical examination and more information from you. You should go to an experienced and compassionate urologist in your area for an examination and diagnosis to confirm my suspicion.
If it turns out that you do have Peyronie's disease you need to know that in about 50% of cases it will resolve itself with no residual problem or side effects afterward. If spontaneous reversal or recovery happens it will typically occur within 12-18 months after onset of the problem.
The medical community says that there is no way to change the damage done by Peyronie's disease for the unlucky 50% whose problem does not go away on its own. I happen to disagree with this statement, since I and many hundreds of men who have used the PDI treatment protocol have been able to increase our ability to either greatly reduce or eliminate the foreign Peyronie's plaque fibrous material. This is good to keep in mind since the only current medical treatment for Peyronies disease is penis surgery. However, Peyronie's surgery can develop some very nasty side effects and bad results. Please do all that you can to avoid Peyronie's surgery.
The PDI concept of Peyronies treatment is that the 50% of cases in which this penis problem goes away on its own represents natural healing, as the body should be able to do for anyone. The natural Peyronie's treatment protocol you see in this website is an attempt to increase or support the innate ability of the body to heal. I maintain that anyone with this problem should first attempt to see if his body is capable of natural recovery (as happens in half of the men who develop PD) before using more extreme and irreversible methods.
