What Peyronies treatment would you suggest for a “waist” in the penis?

Dr. Herazy,

What treatment plan would you suggest in treating a waist in the penis? And also, does the penis waist happen because of lack of blood flow to that area?

Thanks

 

Greetings,

When you mention a "waist in the penis" I assume you refer to what is commonly referred to as an hourglass deformity of the penis associated with Peyronie's disease in which there is a narrowed portion of the penis in a small or large part of the circumference of the shaft.   

Treatment for this type of distortion is not much different for this distortion or for any other distortion that is caused by the presence of the internal Peyronies plaque or scar tissue – except in one small aspect I will explain a bit further down.  The very important point I want to make now is that good Peyronies treatment is not directed to the distorted (bent, curved, hourglass, waisted, limp or shrunken) penis, but to the scar itself.   What is wrong with you is not that your penis has a waist formation, but that you have a Peyronie's plaque or internal scar in the shaft that is causing a waist formation.  Do you understand the critical point I am trying to make?  Your problem is not the waist, but what is causing the waist to form.  That is why it is pointless to try to stretch a curved penis with a mechanical penis stretcher because it cannot do anything to remove or reduce the Peyronies plaque.   A case of Peyronie's disease is not a curved penis that will be corrected by forced stretching, like a bent paperclip.  A case of Peyronies disease is one in which internal scar tissue can cause the penis to bend or distort in some way.  For this reason treatment is not so much directed to the kind of distortion but to the reason for the distortion. 

Having explained that, I will say that the gentle manual penis stretching technique developed in a PDI research project a few years back can be modified to suit the type of distortion displayed because with this particular local technique it is possible to focus subtle traction vectors into the specific location and direction of the plaque formation.  We developed unique techniques for bends, twists or rotation, hourglass, bottleneck and combinations of deformities to isolate the fibers that cause those patterns in an effort to stimulate their reabsorption.

This waist or hourglass type of distortion is caused by a circular or collar-like Peyronie's plaque formation that either prevents or restricts the full expansion of the shaft during an erection or allows blood to not collect in a particular area and therefore not expand completely.

My suggestion is that you do a bit of reading at start Peyronie's treatment to see if this makes sense to you, and to begin working to increase your ability to heal the Peyronies scar in the best way possible.  In my opinion the best Peyronie's treatment is the largest and most aggressive you can sustain for a few months to assist natural healing.  Read the PDI website to learn if you agree.  TRH

What is the best Peyronie’s treatment?

Hello,

I am from Dubai.  My problem is like this:   Peyronie's disease with left lateral (side) penile curvature and constrictive ring deformity causing hourglass close to body. No pain up to now during sex.  I find that my penis  is now shorter by more than one inch.   I took vitamin A & E but it did not help.  What is the best Peyronie's treatment?   Thank you.

Greetings to you in Dubai,

I am sorry to learn about your problem.   

Taking only vitamin A and E is seldom effective because it is much too limited or narrow in its attempt to help you heal the PD scar.  The best Peyronie's treatment is not any one therapy, but a combination of several – sometimes many therapies that work to assist your ability to remove the foreign Peyronie's plaque or  scar tissue from your body.

Please do not think my answer is silly or insensitive.  Allow me to give you an answer that will tell you exactly what you need to do create the most effective therapy plan for your condition:  The best plan to treat your Peyronie's disease is the one that you create that causes your body to break down and absorb the foreign scar material.   The best Peyronie's treatment plan appears to be different for each man.   I do not know what you need to do to make this happen, but I can tell you how to figure this out for yourself. 

If you follow these steps you will do as much as you possibly can to be successful over your Peyronie's problem:

1. Learn as much as you can about the natural treatment of Peyronie's disease from the PDI website.  The more you understand the better your treatment and your results will be.

2.  Go to "Start Peyronie's treatment" to see the basic outline of getting started with care.  Follow those instructions your read about.  

3.  Determine the size, shape, density and surface features of each PD scar you can find.  If you do not know how to locate your PD scar(s) send me an email and I will give you special help to determine where it is located and how to evaluate it.  This information is critical since you will use it to measure the progress and effectiveness of your Peyronie's treatment plan.  Without this information you are only guessing about your treatment. 

4.   Monitor your PD plaque for changes as you follow your treatment plan.   If your scar or plaque changes size, shape, density or surface features while you are using your treatment plan, there is no need to change it; you simply continue to use that plan for as long as your scars continue to reduce. If your  scar DOES NOT CHANGE size, shape, density or surface features while you are using your treatment plan, you must increase the plan by either increasing your dosage of therapy products or increasing the variety of treatments you are using.  When you get to that point I will offer you ideas and information so you will know how you wish to proceed. 

Please let me know if you have an questions about how you wish to proceed.   TRH
