Would a penis extender help my curved penis?

Posted on April 4, 2013July 21, 2015 by Dr.Herazy

I have a question about using a penis extender to reduce my curved penis.

I have had some moles removed from the top of my penis some time ago. I have a scar from my pubic bone that runs about 2-3 inches toward the head. Recently I have noticed when I have a partial erection my penis is curved upwards. I do not feel anything along the top that would feel like plaque or a bump or anything that shouldn't be there.

Could the scar be causing my curved penis condition? Do you think that a tension device like a penis extender would help my situation?

Thanks
Harold Bridges

Greetings Harold,

Guessing simply because you have an Anglo-Saxon last name, there is a possibility you could be genetically predisposed to Peyronie's disease. Your brief description is consistent with Peyronie's disease. The surgery you describe could have resulted in excess scar formation at the site on the top portion of the shaft where you were cut, causing an upward bend. Many men find that even Peyronie's surgery which is intended to reduce penis curvature will heal with increased scar formation and make their Peyronies worse.

The fact that you, as a layperson, cannot detect a noticeable scar or fibrous mass would not be unusual; many men cannot locate a Peyronie's scar when it is rather obvious to someone trained in this area.

You ask about a penis extender or mechanical traction device being used in your situation. You obviously have not read too much of the PDI website. Many men develop Peyronie's disease after being injured by such mechanical penis stretcher devices. For information about this, please refer to What do you think of a mechanical penis extender for treatment of Peyronie’s disease? and My Peyronie’s disease started after I tried to straighten my curved penis with a penis stretcher, should I use another one? and Penis stretcher: Big problem as Peyronie's treatment

I suggest you get a formal diagnosis of your problem so you know exactly what you are dealing with.

In my opinion, if it turns out you do have Peyronie's disease it would be good for you to attempts to try a brief therapeutic trial of Alternative Medicine treatment to see if you can stimulate a natural healing or recovery as it happens in about 50% of men who develop PD when the problem clears up on its own.

If you have additional questions please let me know. TRH

Does Bill Clinton have Peyronie’s disease or a curved penis?

Posted on February 13, 2013July 21, 2015 by Dr.Herazy

Not every curved penis is Peyronie's disease

To offer a definitive and accurate answer to the question “Does Bill Clinton have a curved penis or Peyronie’s disease?” would require the presence of several pieces of clinical information determined by direct medical examination:

1. History of pain while erect, or less commonly pain while flaccid, or both
2. A mass or nodule of foreign scar tissue located below the surface of the penis shaft, detected by manual palpation or ultrasound examination
3. Structural deviation of the shaft of the penis during erection, (bending or curvature, hourglass, bottleneck, rotation or torque, or indentation deformity)
4. Erectile dysfunction, either total or partial, caused by the internal Peyronie’s scar material interfering with the pneumatic mechanism that creates a normal erection

Since none of the above information has been presented in any factual way, the curious public has only to rely on hearsay and innuendo. Taking the sketchy information and various unconfirmed newspaper reports as credible, the only safe conclusion at this time is that former President Clinton does not have Peyronie’s disease.

A diagnosis of Peyronie’s disease can be complicated. Peyronie’s disease is not determined solely on the presence of a curved penis, any more than the absence of penile curvature indicates a man does not have Peyronie’s disease. Simply because a penis is curved does not support the conclusion that the cause is Peyronie’s disease, especially when the presence of the curvature is solely based on the observation of a layperson.

However, whether Mr. Clinton has Peyronie’s disease, or even a curved penis, cannot be confirmed in any meaningful way at this time due to the legal maneuvering and sealing of many court documents in which this question has been apparently asked and answered under oath. As such, the presence or absence of a curve in Mr. Clinton’s penis is apparently known, but is not currently available for the public record.

Whether or not Bill Clinton, the 42^nd U.S. president, does or does not have a bent penis, and is consequently assumed to have Peyronie’s disease, became an important political question during two different sex scandals in which President Clinton was famously involved.

The first, in 1994, centered on the sexual harassment suit that Paula Jones filed against President Clinton for conduct that was said to have occurred in 1991 at the Excelsior Hotel in Little Rock Arkansas. Her lawsuit was eventually dismissed on the grounds that she failed to prove damages as a result of her encounter with Clinton. When Jones appealed the dismissal Clinton agreed to a $850,000 out-of-court settlement.

The second, in 1998, became known as the Lewinsky scandal. This high profile sex scandal centered on the extra-marital affair between President Clinton and a 22-year-old White House intern, Monica Lewinsky. Eventually the scandal resulted in the impeachment of President Clinton by the U.S. House of Representatives and a subsequent acquittal on all impeachment charges of perjury and obstruction of justice by the U.S. Senate after a stormy 21-day trial.

Both of these women hoped to prove that Mr. Clinton was sexually active in their presence by offering that they saw a “distinguishing characteristic” of his private anatomy, suggested by others to be some degree of penile curvature.

However, the public record regarding Mr. Clinton’s alleged bent penis has been purged from their testimony. Because the Jones and Lewinsky cases involved a sitting U. S. president, all testimony and affidavits that would quickly answer this question about Peyronie’s disease were sealed by court order and remain so. Detailed review of Monica Lewinsky’s August 6^th and August 20^th grand jury testimony, released on September 21, 1998 reveals no questions asked or answered about his penis. Detailed review of Paula Jones’ testimony during her deposition to the U. S. Senate on February 17, 1998 also reveals no questions asked or answered Mr. Clinton’s penis.

As a result of the court enforced silence on this subject the public does not know what these two women said about what they saw. The Washington Times has reported that several sources with close ties to the Paula Jones case indicated that in her sworn affidavit she alleges Mr. Clinton’s displayed a distinctly angled bend of his erect penis.

Even if it was widely known that both women said Mr. Clinton has a bent penis, this isolated information does not definitely prove that the former president has Peyronie’s disease; it would only mean that his penis is curved.

However, the New York Times newspaper has reported that on October 3, 1998 a detailed genital examination was conducted on Mr. Clinton by the chief of urology from the National Naval Medical Center, Capt. Kevin O'Connell whose interest was to specifically rule out Peyronie's disease. The New York Times has reported that Dr. O’Connell, as a result of this examination would testify if given the opportunity, that Mr. Clinton does not suffer from Peyronie’s disease. But this information is also under a court seal, so the best that can be done currently is to speculate.

Some normal penises are curved while other normal penises are straight; just part of the normal variation that exists between men that makes us all unique. When those court documents are finally opened and made public, few of us will be around to care about the private parts of President Clinton.

My Peyronie's disease started after I tried to straighten my curved penis with a penis stretcher, should I use another one?

Posted on February 4, 2013July 21, 2015 by Dr.Herazy

Winter 2010 I used a penis extender for around 1.5 months (4-6 hours each day or less), where I probably made an injury on the left side (too hard penis with too hard stretch), just below the glans.

I realize now that I probably have had congenital curved penis all my life.

When my penis is rock hard, it curves 30-40 degrees to the left. I think it was less before Winter 2010 when I started using the penis extender.

I wonder if it could have been possible that I didn't injure the penis, but bigger curve at the glans is due to longer extension on the right side compared to the left side (because of scar tissue on the left side) ?

Seriously, I didn't think so much about the curve before, so the curve might only have been congenital before this likely injury. I went to an urologist in May and he indicated that I maybe have had a little injury on the tunica albuginea (which makes the overall curve bigger).

In December I started to use an extender again, with the use of XXXXXX, said to work specifically for PD. I stopped after 34 total effective days (9 h each day) as I have read some studies where they have used Verapamil injections before usage of an extender. In one study the curvature went from 30 to 0 and lengthened with 1.5 cm 🙂 I stopped using the extender 10 days ago.

Is this something you recommend? To remove the plaque first and then start using the extender after the plaque has been removed? Because it is speculated that some of the reasons the lengthening is shorter with PD, is because of the plaque. I have just started to use DMSO and SSKI (both topical), and will start to use Serrapeptase and Nattokinase as well. I see on this site that you also recommend Neprinol and some copper + +.

I have another question, so I may have to call you for more clearance; when the plaque diminished, will it leave an empty area in the flesh, maybe making the curvature worse and the penis shortened?

Peyronies disease is not just having plaque, but also having one side shorter than the other. It is then vital to use an extender so the shortest side can catch up the longest side, right?

I`m 31, which package do you recommend to me?

Greetings,

First of all, I removed the name of the penis stretcher product from your email because I think all of them are dangerous, as you have already shown us by reporting you injured yourself with one. I wish to not promote these contraptions in any way. The name of your particular device is not important because none of them are different from the others in any important or meaningful way. All cars are fundamentally the same because all have a motor, seats, windows, wheels and a steering wheel; in that sense they are all identical in their basic design. The same can be said of penis stretchers. They all have a clamping device that holds the penis at or near the head, a base that is held against the pubic region, a pair of extendable threaded rods that lengthen the device while it is worn on the penis, a book of instructions that tells you what to do if you develop blisters and skin erosion while using the extender, and surgical wool and antibiotic ointment to keep you from hurting yourself further.

You are a rare man. I have communicated with very few men who are able to wear a penis extender device for more than a short while; some could not wear one for even 10 minutes. I have worked with many men who told me they could only put it on only one time and threw it away because of pain and apparent injury. Many of those men who persisted in spite of the pain and superficial tissue erosion caused by these stretchers soon developed Peyronie's disease. Some men put a penis stretcher on only one time for 30-60 minutes and then never again because they next day they have signs of early penis injury, and later demonstrate full blown Peyronie's disease.

It seems the prolonged pressure from the head clamp causes local tissue anoxia (oxygen starvation) deep within the penis tissue; this is probably what happened to you. When there is a lack of blood circulation in the penis caused by smashing it down with the clamp of the penis extender, blood circulation is cut off and a lack of oxygen occurs where the head is compressed. This is very much like what happens when a tourniquet is worn too tight or for too long – the lack of oxygen caused by poor blood flow will kill tissue. Any good boy scout or soldier learns that even if your arm or leg is severely cut you must periodically release the tourniquet – even if hemorrhaging starts again – so that fresh blood can deliver oxygen into the injured limb. If this is not done the entire limb can become damaged and gangrene can develop. But you report in one area of your email that you wore yours for 4-6 hours daily for six weeks, and you state later you wore another penis stretcher for nine hours daily for 34 days. That is incredible. If you were a boy scout you would have flunked the first aid class for leaving the “tourniquet” on for far too long. No wonder you developed PD.

You state your congenital penis curvature is now worse than it was before you started using your first penis stretcher; your bent penis now curves 30-40 degrees to the left, more than before using the stretcher. You think that the solution to the problem caused by the first penis stretcher is to use a second penis stretcher. I do not agree with your thinking, and I will explain why later.

Please think about this statement I am about to make because it is very important in helping you to understand why you have injured your penis, and why I feel you are going about treatment in a totally wrong way: If you have Peyronie disease, your problem is not that your penis is bent, dented or otherwise distorted; your problem is that you have dense scar tissue within the tunica albuginea layer of the penis that as a secondary factor is causing your penis to be curved, dented or otherwise distorted.

Think of it this way. If you cut yourself shaving, what is the actual problem? Is your problem the blood running down your chin? Or is the problem the hole in your skin that as a secondary factor is allowing blood to leak out of the blood vessels and run down your chin? Certainly the blood gets your attention, but it is not the problem. If you did not have the hole in your skin the blood would not be running down your chin. If I was to offer you a way to wipe your face clean, it would not address the real problem which is the hole in your skin. If I was to offer you something that would help you heal the hole in your skin rapidly you would not have to worry about the blood running down your chin. Certainly when your penis is bent it gets your attention, but it is not the problem.

I emphasize this point because I believe you are seeing Peyronie's disease as being a curved penis, when it is not. Peyronie's disease is a soft tissue condition of the penis in which a fibrous plaque of scar tissue develops excessively for some reason (congenital predisposition, nutritional deficiency, trauma, chemical or hormonal imbalance, drug side-effect, or a combination of some or all these) in the tunica albuginea, which in turn prevents the even and symmetrical expansion of the erection and a few other nasty symptoms.

You ask, “Is this something you recommend? To remove the plaque first and then start using the extender after the plaque has been removed?” The answer is simple: No. If you did something to remove the plaque first, you would not need to use an extender because you would not have Peyronie's disease. With no plaque in the tunica albuginea you would not have a curved penis and there would be no point in using the penis extender unless you are one of those men who believes stretching on the penis will make it bigger – and that is an entirely different topic.

You also ask, “…when the plaque diminished, will it leave an empty area in the flesh, maybe making the curvature worse and the penis shortened?” The short answer is again, no. As a longer explanation: When a pregnant woman delivers a baby, does her abdomen stay stretched out? When a weight lifter stops exercising, does he develop empty areas and voids where the larger muscle tissue used to be? When you over-eat and your stomach and abdomen expand and bulge out, does it stay that way permanently? No, to all of that. All our body tissues are elastic (even bone to a very minimal degree), allowing the removal of unneeded or foreign tissue cells that are eliminated and healed over in the best way the body can accomplish under the circumstance. The body always attempts to return to the most efficient and normal state it can whenever and however possible. In the case of Peyronie's disease the body will attempt to reabsorb the strands of fibrous tissue and heals the tunica albuginea to the best of its ability. In about half of the men who develop Peyronie's disease this attempt at self-repair and self-healing is successful. In the approximate other half, the condition is not healed and becomes more or less permanent.

This tendency of the body to always attempt to return to normal (homeostatis), or self-heal, is the basis of the PDI concept for eliminating the Peyronies disease scar. By presenting to the tissue a wide variety of helpful and supporting vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and naturopathic modalities like moist heat applications, DMSO, gentle manual penis stretching (which is vastly different from your mechanical penis stretching concept), ultrasound and acupuncture therapy, we attempt to support, promote, stimulate and accelerate that ability of the body to eliminate the Peyronie's scar that works in 50% of men and fails in the other 50%. What PDI attempts to do is really not so far fetched or bizarre. We only attempt to assist and promote a natural process that is successful in 50% of men when they eliminate their PD scar without any help from anyone. We are not trying to make pigs fly. The PDI concept of helping PD correction is one of working with the man who has PD so he can do a better job of what he failed to do in the first place.

Another question you pose is, “PD is not just having plaque, but also having one side shorter than the other. Ii is then vital to use an extender so the shortest side can catch up the longest side, right?” You ask that question as though having plaque and having a shortened side of the penis are two separate and distinct problems. I get the impression you believe that the shortened concave side of penis curvature happens independent of the plaque, when that is not the case. It is the presence of the dense fibrous scar that shortens the side of the penis in which it is located, and not the other way around.

To solve the problem of Peyronie's disease the body must eliminate the mass of dense fibrous scar in the tunica albuginea. You cannot eliminate that tissue by stretching or pulling on it. How do I know that? Simple laws of physics governing our universe explains why stretching a penis with a PD scar will not influence that mass of inelastic tissue.

We all have heard the expression many times, “A chain will break at its weakest link.” We all intuitively understand what that means. When a stretching or traction force is applied to a series in which there are stronger or stiffer areas as well as weaker or more flexible areas, the weaker or flexible parts or areas will give way, break down, fail or somehow give up before the stronger parts or stronger areas. In war: when the enemy attacks, the weaker part of a battle line will give in before the stronger part of a battle line. Toilet paper and postage stamps: when the paper is pulled the area of paper that has been weakened by the small perforation holes will tear before the non-perforated paper has a chance to tear. Tires on a car: the softer the tire, the more it will absorb the vibration energy of a rough ride, and the harder the tire the more it will pass the energy of a rough road to your body. There are countless examples of the idea that a weaker, thinner or more flexible area will absorb energy before a stronger, thicker or more rigid part is able to do so. This is why a chain will break at its weakest link. What does this have to do with Peyronie’s disease?

The PD scar is thicker and stronger than normal skin and corpora cavernosa tissue of a penis. When a traction force is applied to the penis, the normal elastic corpora cavernosa and skin tissue will absorb the energy of the traction force as it stretches out before the inelastic scar tissue has a chance to stretch – the scar will not get a chance to get stretched because the healthy penis tissue will absorb the energy as it stretches first. Don’t believe me? Do this experiment. Find three rubber bands– two that are thin and stretchy and one that is thicker and heavier than the two thin rubber bands. Loop these three rubber bands together in a series, placing the two thin stretchy rubber bands at the ends and the thick heavy one in the middle. Now hold this series of rubber bands at the two ends and pull on it so you are stretching the whole thing out to make them all longer. Notice that all movement and stretch is coming from the two thin stretchy rubber bands that are at the ends, and no movement or stretch is taking place in the thick rubber band in the middle. Only when you stretch so far that the two thin rubber bands are near their breaking point and are ready to snap, will the thick rubber band in the middle begin to move a little. If you continue to pull, one of the thin bands will break before the thick band has stretched only a small amount. This will happen every time. Thus, when you pull on a flaccid penis that has Peyronie’s disease you cannot stretch the thick fibrous scar tissue because the normal elastic skin and deeper corpora cavernosa tissue will absorb the traction force to do all the stretching just like the thick and thin rubber bands looped together.

In Peyronie's disease any apparent inequality of length is caused by unequal expansion of the corpora cavernosa due to the presence of the dense fibrous scar material within the tunica albuginea. The dense and inelastic scar prevents full expansion of the erect penis, and perhaps only a minor amount of actual contraction of the tunica albuginea. When I work with men who have been successful in reducing or eliminating the their PD scar material their curved penis returns partially or completely back to normal depending on how much scar elimination occurs. I am told for some the scar elimination is complete and for others only partial; when I treated my own Peyronie's disease in 2002 it was complete elimination of the PD scar. No mechanical penis stretching is done and no mechanical penis stretching is needed. In 2006 a research project was undertaken during which we devised and perfected a gentle manual penis stretching method that works completely unlike and contrary to the concepts presented in the mechanical penis stretchers. Additionally, I find that lost penis length and girth that occurs is a result of fibrous infiltration of the tunica albuginea and this often improves to the degree the body is successful in its attempt to remove this foreign fibrous tissue, owing to the natural tendency of the body to heal itself when given the opportunity.

Your last question about what Peyronie's treatment plan I recommend for you is the most difficult and also easiest one to answer. Since I am not your treating doctor I can only advise you as I advise all other men who come looking for help in starting self-treatment. I suggest you use the largest and most aggressive plan of treatment that you can sustain for at least 3-4months while you follow the PDI concepts of Peyronie's treatment that supports and encourages your body to eliminate this terrible scar material. If you decide to do so, you might use the gentle manual penis stretching technique as part of that effort.

I appreciate your hard work, earnest effort and sincere desire to rid yourself of your Peyronie's disease. You are like many men I deal with daily. I commend you for not accepting your problem and encourage you do all you can to heal your problem. If I can help you in any way, please let me know. TRH

Can you help me with a penis that has been shortened by scarring from x-ray radiation?

Posted on February 4, 2013July 21, 2015 by Dr.Herazy

I have had peyronies since 1977 when I had a testicle removed and very soon after I contracted peyronies. The oncologist treating me for the cancer also zapped the peyronies. My problem is the x-ray treatment scar has shortened my penis form 6″ to 3.5″ also left me with the inability to maintain an erection so when I use the cock ring for intercourse it only leaves about 2.5″ and that ain't much fun. I have just found your web and am wondering if you can help.

Greetings Mate,

You have a few things going on here at the same time and that will impact the outcome you finally earn.

While the PDI gentle manual penis stretching technique was developed specifically for the effects of Peyronie's disease, it has been used by many men who wished to change their congenital penis curvature and a few men so far who have had scarring of the penis surface from x-ray radiation treatment. Based on the reports I have received back from some of these men the response was most often good enough that they were pleased with the outcomes and they thought it was worthwhile, even in those cases in which total recovery did not happen.

You have dealt with your problem for a very long time, so I assume you will be patient with this process and allow ample time for your tissue to respond to the best of its ability – if at all. I mention this because I have no idea how bad your scarring is, where it is located, how deep it is, and most importantly, I have no idea how well and how faithfully you will use the stretching technique to assist changes to happen. I can only hope you will follow the detailed technique instructions exactly as they are presented and that you will not try to use only penis stretching as the only way to try to regain lost penis size. This is usually the best way to fail to get help.

To work well it is necessary to help your scarred tissue also from the inside by also using systemic enzymes, DMSO, vitamin E and Scar-X. When these are combined with the stimulus of gentle manual penis stretching it might be possible to regain perhaps a part of what you have lost, perhaps a lot. I have no way of knowing. I cannot predict or promise anything to you because there are so many variables and unknowns. The important thing is that you try to do this in the best and most aggressive way possible for at least 3-4 months.

If you decide to follow for a few months a therapeutic trial to see if changes can be made in your situation, please advise me by email when your order is placed. I will supply specific information for you. This is not what our therapy protocol is normally used for, so I will have to guide you through a few special steps. TRH

My severely bent penis is almost back to normal, but how can I get my size back?

Posted on January 29, 2013July 21, 2015 by Dr.Herazy

Hi Dr. Herazy,

I've been following your instructions and using your products now for about two years. My progress has been slow, but thanks to you, I HAVE made progress and almost back to normal…..as far as the severe bending and curvature. There is now only a small knot remaining at the upper right on top, near the head of the shaft and appears to be all that is remaining. I will continue your Peyronie's treatment procedures. My question is, and it's VERY important to me is : Can I get my size back ??? Since this issue began, I've lost at LEAST an inch in both length and girth even though my erections are “near” normal. Is it possible to use a pump with care and restraint to gradually build back up ?? This is driving me crazy with worry.

Thanks,

David V

Greetings David V,

First of all, congratulations in getting your bent penis under control and eliminating all but a small knot of scar tissue.

However, in spite of all the reading and instruction I know you have read, it seems to me you are making a huge mistake to only gauge your treatment success based on reduction of your severe penis curvature. You must have read a hundred times it is necessary to use the size, shape, density and surface features of your scar to guide your treatment. Once you begin to do that your treatment will be a lot more effective and you can expect to see more changes in your curved penis and lost size.

I suggest avoiding a penis pump, or VED. With those devices it is not possible to know that you are not injuring yourself until it is too late. There is a better way to get back lost penis size.

assignment online

In regard to getting back your lost penis size, let me give you some advice. I have reviewed your file of past purchases and see that you have not used the gentle manual penis stretching technique. This would be a very logical addition to your current plan as I understand it. Please continue with your current treatment plan, but add in the gentle manual penis stretching to see if you cannot possibly reduce the last of that small remaining scar as well as coax back some of your lost dimensions.

I have Peyronie's disease. Is there anything i can use or do to lessen the pain when getting an erection?

Posted on January 11, 2013July 21, 2015 by Dr.Herazy

Hello Dr Herazy,

About 3 months ago i had a vasectomy done, and to try and “clear out the system” i was masturbating a lot more then usual. Over time I began having throbbing pain from the shaft of the penis which would pulsate towards the tip when getting an erection, i don't recall this pain prior to the surgery or frequent masturbation. But it seemed as though it had worsened and after a self examination i noticed a BB sized ball towards the bottom of my shaft, so i made an appointment with my urologist.

Well I just had that appointment today and after a short physical exam by him he indicated that the BB sized ball was plaque/scar tissue and that i have Peyronie's disease. He has prescribed me Verapamil gel and is advising me to take Vitamin E UI pills, but he was up front letting me know this may not cure my problem. Now like most men i immediately came home and did further research, but all i'm finding are most men talking about the “extreme curvature” to their penis. And in my case its the pain when getting an erection that i'm more concerned about but i cant find anything that relates directly to that. Let me also point out that although i have a slight natural curve to my penis that i've had for years i do not have anything extreme going on in that area.

So my question to you is there anything i can use/do to lessen that pain when getting an erection? Now that i've located the plaque it seems to be radiating from that area. It has become very frustrating when trying to be intimate with my wife as i focus more on getting that pain when developing an erection then trying to enjoy the intimacy. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank You,

Johnny J

Greetings Johnny J,

Sorry to learn of your problem and the pain you are in. Please follow the advice and direction of your doctor. I agree with him that a course of topical verapamil and vitamin E by itself is seldom successful. This is why I developed the Peyronie's Disease Institute to explore and develop an alternative medicine approach to treating PD. As another option, I suggest you spend some time reading the PDI website to determine if this alternate approach that seeks to increase your natural ability to heal, repair and eliminate the Peyronie's plaque makes sense to you. A good place to start is Natural Peyronie's Treatment Options.

Frankly, when I communicate with men who start Peyronie's disease treatment I am told that pain usually goes away in a few days. Pain during an erection seems to be rather easy to control with the therapies in any of the treatment plans you might select.

You need to understand that Peyronie's disease is a process that takes time – sometimes up to 18 months or so – to fully develop all levels of symptoms and signs of this problem. In fact, I have many times communicated with men who find that their problem continues to develop (deteriorate) well into the 2nd or 3rd year. Do not assume that your condition will remain the same as it is right now. If you have no particular curve associated with your Peyronies problem at this time, be grateful because some men start out with a wicked curve. However, it is a rare case of PD that does not eventually display some level of penis curvature or distortion. If you do not have at this time any aggravation of your fundamental naturally curved penis, it will probably not stay that way. It is just a fact, so be prepared.

Whatever you and your wife decide is the appropriate level of intimacy at this time, please be sure to be careful so that you do not exacerbate your Peyronie's disease. Do not stop having sex; have sex in a gentle and sane way so that you do not cause further injury to your penis. You were abusive and overly aggressive with your masturbation to the point that you developed PD. Do not repeat that mistake by making your PD worse. It can be done and it can be a nightmare you do not want to visit. Use additional sexual lubrication during intercourse and select those techniques that avoid the possibility of accidental slipping out and jamming/ramming the penis that would injure it further.

What can I do to make my congenital penis curvature better?

Posted on January 11, 2013July 21, 2015 by Dr.Herazy

Hi doctor,

I think I have a natural penis curvature or I was born with a bent penis to the left side by about maybe 35 degree max. I already asked a urologist and after checking me he told me to not do surgery and told me that I do not have a scar tissue or anything. After I did some research on the internet I found that there is some exercise that can help to fix my bent penis and also some people talk about using vitamin E cream mixed with Cetaphil moisturizer. So please just let me know if this can help or not. And if not, what can I do to get better in this case? Thank you in advance and hope to hear from you soon.

Greetings,

As I have written many times in this blog, men have changed their congenital penis curvature using the methods described on this website. I do not think that applying a moisturizer lotion mixed with vitamin E is capable of making significant tissue changes that would be required to alter a 35 degree curved penis. Applying topical lotions that are intended to make the skin soft are far too superficial to accomplish what you have in mind.

You did not describe the exercise that you have in mind to correct your curved penis. This would be key, I believe, because there are many ways to influence the tissue in most areas of the body by stretching the tissue. As far as the penis is concerned, however, you must be very careful about being too aggressive and causing injury to this delicate tissue. From my experience the penis stretching programs I see on the internet are far too abusive to consider doing. For example, many cases of Peyronie's disease have been started by mechanical penis stretchers and jelqing. In response to these abusive methods, several years ago I worked with a group of men through PDI to develop what I call the PDI gentle Manual Penis Stretching Technique that uses a very light but sustained traction to stretch the penis tissue over a period of time when accompanied by a wide variety of internal and external therapies that assist this stretching process. I get back good reports from those men who use a broadly diversified and gentle approach to correcting their penis curvatures.

Please review a few posts to give you a better idea about what this method can do for a bent penis that started from birth, Will the PDI Manual Stretching Technique help a congenital penis curvature? and Could Peyronie treatment plans still possibly help my congenital curvature? and Can my congenital penis curvature be fixed by surgery or is there some other way to get help?

Can my congenital penis curvature be fixed by surgery or is there some other way to get help?

Posted on January 10, 2013July 21, 2015 by Dr.Herazy

Hello Dr Herazy I am 34 years old and my penis bends down and left like a hook I have really hard erections and was wondering what can be done I don't think I have a plaque I have had this all my life . When my penis is flaccid if I stretch it out I can feel my left corpora cavernosa like a tight string and the right loose. Can I be fixed by surgery ? Thank you for your time.

Greetings,

Of course, I cannot answer you in any direct or meaningful way since I have not examined your curved penis.

Your question has been asked and answered several times. Please review the post Questions about straightening a congenital penis curvature and Stretching a congenital penis curvature. There are several other posts on this topic, all you have to do is enter “congenital penis curvature” in the search box and read all that comes up.

In doing this work this 2002 I have been surprised that many men report back to me that they have used the PDI gentle manual penis stretching method with success. It is always used in conjunction with a variety of other therapies for best results. I am not saying to forgo penis surgery, but if you do that as a first method of correction there is absolutely no way to undo bad results. (Surgery to correct bad surgery usually results in in worse results.) I suggest to anyone that usually the best results occur while using conservative measures first, since there are little to no adverse consequences; if they are not effective you can always try more aggressive methods later.

My husband has a curved penis, is this normal?

Posted on November 11, 2012March 18, 2013 by Dr.Herazy

Bent penis usually means Peyronie’s disease later in life

A curved penis can be normal for some men, or it can indicate the presence of a problem for other men. Just because the penis is curved does not necessarily mean there is a problem.

For the most part, the fact that penile curvature exists at all in a man does not indicate a true abnormality or reason for concern; an abnormality is more so suggested if there is a change in the appearance and structure of the penis if it was previously straighter than it is now and only later became curved.

If a diagnosis of Peyronie’s disease has already been made to explain the bent penis you are asking about, you should consider using Alternative Medicine treatment to assist and support the body’s natural ability to heal and repair the Peyronie’s plaque that causes the curved penis and the various signs and symptoms that are a result. Click here to find a good place to start learning about non-surgical and non-drug Peyronie’s treatment.

When did the bent penis begin?

Usually the answer to the question, “When did the curved or bent penis begin?” will usually indicate if there is an actual problem to justify concern.

If your husband’s penis has been curved since childhood, or for as long as he can remember, then there is a very good chance that he has a normal variation of the shape of his penis. This is called a normal penis curvature and is often simply due to a variation of the size of the internal chambers that make up the body of the penis. In a congenital curve of the penis there is usually no pain associated with erection or intercourse.

Also, in regard to when the penis curvature occurred, it is not uncommon for Peyronie’s disease to develop after certain medical procedures or treatments:

Use of Viagra, Cialis or Levitra (PDE5 inhibitor drugs) that have been known to cause damage to the internal tissue of the penis when an exaggerated or excessive erection occurs. For some men this can happen after just one use of these drugs, or for other men after multiple uses that previously did not cause any unusual reaction.
Use of beta-blocker heart medications that are used for chest pain and arrhythmia to name a few. There are many beta-blockers used, but a few of the more popular are Lopressor LA, Sectral and Tenormin
Use of some cholesterol lowering drugs (statin drug group) that have a long list of known side effects, but recently have been expanded to include Peyronie’s disease. There are statin drugs in this category, but a few of the more popular are Crestor, Lipitor, Lisinopril and Lovastatin
Having been catheterized as part of surgical procedure, especially when done while under anesthesia while in a hospital setting. Many times greater force is used to pass the catheter tube through the urethra due to time constraints and urgency, resulting trauma to the penile tissue.

If your husband’s penis curvature started recently or sometime after his teen years when it had been previously straight, then this suggests a problem for which he should make an appointment with a urologist for an examination and diagnosis. The most common cause of a curved penis that appears after it was previously straight, by far, is Peyronie’s disease. Other less common causes can be:

Trauma to the penis that causes simple swelling
Trauma that causes penile fracture
Penile cancer, although very rare

Diagnosis of Peyronie’s disease and the curved penis

Typically, in cases of an adult onset curved penis, there are three primary findings that usually have to be met in order to establish a diagnosis of Peyronie’s disease:

1. Presence of one or more nodules or areas of hardness located under the skin of the shaft. These localized nodules are not seen on the surface, but a felt by digital examination below the skin; some can be so large that the surface of the skin is elevated from below by the nodule.

2. Pain, from mild to severe, from occasional to constant, in some area of the penis while erect. A small percentage of men experience penile pain while flaccid (non-erect), and an even smaller percentage experience pain during both states.

3. Recent development of curved or bent penis, or some other similar distortion of the penis (bottleneck, hourglass, or indentation).

A diagnosis of Peyronie’s disease can still be made without one of the above findings, if the other two are dominant and reliable. Other findings of slightly less frequency and less importance seen during Peyronie’s disease, that are of some value in making a diagnosis are:

Loss of penis size in terms length and circumference (girth or diameter).
Reduced erectile ability in either the entire shaft or a localized area of it.

The important thing is to not ignore the penile curvature and to do whatever you can to avoid Peyronie’s surgery whenever possible since the side effects can be devastating.

Vitamin E is not enough therapy for effective Peyronies treatment

Posted on November 4, 2012March 15, 2013 by Dr.Herazy

Dear Doctor,

I’m 31 and I have been diagnosed with Peyronie’s disease this year. I had trauma during sex in January and after about a month the scar appeared and I started to have pain in the beginning of the erection, and since that time pain varies. During sex I don’t have any pain.

I have changed 3 urologists because they have very very poor knowledge about Peyronies and they said there is no cure for it. One of them said that my body reacts to trauma by making an excessive amount of scar tissue. I mentioned to him that 5 years ago I had trauma on my ear and I had a keloid develop which was removed with an operation. They all want me to wait and see what will happen with the pain and penis curvature. In other words, no treatment until the scar stops growing and pain disappears. When that happens their solution is injection of Verapamil or operation, but I don’t want that especially now when I discovered your website. You already help me a lot in understanding Peyronie’s and I’m continuing reading everything I can on your site.

The scar is on the upward right side and its size was like the bean when I discovered it and after few month it was bigger, and last month my penis bend towards up for about 20 degree (I can send you pictures too). I started taking vitamine E 400mg per day from April, and last month I’m taking 600mg. Now I know that only Vitamin E isn’t enough (and it didn’t help me) and I want to buy some products from your PDI website. Can you help me to decide which program to buy? I’m from Croatia and I would like to order supplies for a few months including CDs and books too, so I don’t have to order every month and wait for it. I’m worry when I order something that I have problems on customs and I don’t get your products. Do you have some experience with that?

Thank you,

Deni

Greetings Deni,

Based on what you have described I suggest that you consider getting the PDI medium size plan.

There is indeed a cure for Peyronie’s disease. The body cures and eliminates the Peyronie’s plaque in about half the men who develop this problem. That is a rather good success rate. What the MDs mean is that they do not have any method to help you, although it is obvious that the body generally does a good job of eliminating this problem when given the opportunity.

We have had some problems with Croatia customs. I suggest that if you have a friend in the U.S. or the UK that you have your friend receive your plan from PDI. Your friend could then send these products to you as a gift. I cannot send an order to you as a gift. This I believe is a legal thing to do and might help you receive what you want. TRH
