Thanks Tzinkman. I will not take any more supplements. I believe I sustained a penis injury perhaps when stretching my dick.
Was able to get an appointment with my urologist tomorrow. Tried to stretch my penis today, but it hurt so iām applying ice. Iām not sure what i have is PFS but will keep everyone posted.
Ok so it does look like I donāt have classical PFS. Everything was just a simple penis injury that caused all the issues. It was a small tear in my penis shaft which made my erection go away acutely, caused discomfort, and ED for a few days.
My urologist gave me some meds:
- Meloxicam (Inflammation)
- Pentoxifylline (Stop plaque build-up, curvature of penis)
- Tadalafil (Cialis, to get blood down there to help healing)
- L-Citrulline (powder, every morning)
I believe i had other symptoms regarding my abrupt stopping of finasteride, my bodyās testosterone/dht were being normalized. I feel like a man and i think the stronger erections and size re-gain helped my get and aggravate my penis injury.
This was a very small injury that caused all these issues, it didnāt even hurt but it āfelt funny down there.ā
Hopefully other people have the same issue i did: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/sexual-health/expert-answers/penis-fracture/faq-20058154
Best of luck to everyone, iāll lurk around and answer any questions but it seems iāve been very lucky.
Thanks.

At this point i have to decide if i want to go back on fin. After seeing how better my erections are, reading how it reduces penis size, etc iām scared. But my hair is still nice. I have little time to make this decision but im heavily leaning toward no.
I have pretty high DHT levels and MPB.
Iāll probably just save for hair transplant.
Ok just saw an old picture of my penis before finasteride fully erect and there is significant shrinkage. I must have lost at least half an inch in thickness and length. Fucking horrible i never noticed it before.
Fuck this fucking drug forever. Gonna try to get the length/girth back as much as i can with a pump and never touch this fucking evil drug.
Extremely luckyā¦
Best of luck to you too!

Donāt even flirt with that idea of finasteride, chuck it all in the bin, donāt leave that possibility open!
Take it from me I stupidly left those leftover pills in my dresser for years after my first experience with finasteride, I randomly took a single pill years later for no real reason which has rendered me impotent in my 20s. Similar stories are way too commonplace on this forum to be a coincidence.
No amount of hair is worth a chance of ending up with PFS. Everything is good until suddenly its not, be careful with your choices.
*edit Im glad your feeling better, good luck

good to hear luis. dont touch the poison again and focus on recovery of your little guy 
Ok just some updates.
Iāve been taking the medications my urologist prescribed to me for my Peyronieās disease, which is in the acute phase. I have constant pain and inflammation of my penis but am able to get erections but iām leaving my penis alone to let it heal.
I may also have another hormone related issue. For about a month now, ever since stopping fin, iāve been having diarrhea, cramps, etc.
I went to get a full abdominal ultrasound and the only thing they found is a small calcification on my lower left abdomen. Still waiting for advice from that doctor on that.
Today iām taking a stool test, thatāll take a couple of weeks to come back with results. Iām going to be changing my doctor since i donāt think heās very competent and going to look for a GI specialist for my gut issues.
I wonder if the gut/diarrhea issues are related to finasteride. I will keep this thread updated when i get some more results.
how your urologist find out that? what kind of exame you did?
I had to figure out the issue. By the time i went to the urologist i knew i had injured my penis. I remember stretching it and having vigorous sex the day of my acute ED.
When i went to the urologist they felt around and found two ānodulesā on the penis. You can feel like rough spots under the skin on top of the shaft. For me itās still getting worse, even after leaving it alone and only getting night erections due to the cialis.
They also lengthened the penis and notice that there was changes to the structure where it was going to the left.
The diagnosis was Peyronieās disease in the acute phase. After stopping finasteride i was getting some crazy hard erections which made things worse. I was so excited i tried to get the hardest i could. I also saw some white spots on the penis, i think that has to do with pressure.
I was able to get an in-person appointment with a urologist here in LA and theyāve been very helpful.
Ok so itās one step forward, 10 steps back for me.
My penis fracture seems to slowly be getting better, i donāt have ED, but i still have some mild pain. My testosterone levels are that of a man in their 50s, which is disheartening. Additionally my urologist prescribed me Meloxicam, which shrinks the testicles and further reduces testosterone production.
I swear these doctors donāt give two shits about what you tell them.
Yesterday i had some very weird pre-cum that looked almost like hot glue. Probably from the lack of masturbation or the Meloxicam. Also very weird dreams, also from the Meloxicam.
My family is the main reason i still have a will to live. But i have to admit itās getting harder and harder to have a will to live when im not around them.
Best i can do now is just learn what i can from my experience and try to help anyone that ever has the same problems.
Bro stay hard. I have a children Iām a dad and I know you feel. Give u a time and u feel better.
Hey everyone,
Just to provide some updates. Iām feeling a lot better these days. I am able to now focus 100% on my Peyronieās disease.
It seems that i have recovered most of my size losses, but may end up losing them due to the Peyronies. However, Iām actively managing and treating it with meds and vacuum therapy.
Iām also doing natural things to increase my testosterone naturally. Mainly lifting heavy weights no more than 5 times a week and no longer than 45 minutes per session. Iām also eating a balanced healthy diet and daily ginger shakes.
Really, the first sign that I didnāt really have PFS were painful ejaculations, painful erections, and curving. Hopefully this helps anyone else thinking they have PFS when they may have a penis fracture.
Best of luck.
thanks for the update brother.
Good to hear that youāre of the lucky ones. Goodluck with your recovery.
Hey everyone, have very terrible news. My peyronieās has been getting extremely bad. I am now in the process of getting a penile implant to try to salvage whatās left of my penis.
Big change in 2 weeks? There are no other options?

Yes things have been getting worse. I tried light traction and it literally turned the top of my penis dark/black.
Thankfully after some rest the discoloration is gone. I had some stinging pain for a few days after.
Erections are getting harder and harder to get and i can feel more scarring in my penis. Although the ultrasounds only show one small scar, it takes time for them to show up.
I am doing everything i can to try to treat this, but iām seriously considering getting an implant.
You can find me in the Peyronieās forum as well: https://www.peyroniesforum.net/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;u=22828
Currently taking Pentox, Vitamin-E, 5mg Cialis, and L-Citruline. Hard to stay motivated to exercise.
Cialis is helping with keeping erections and just trying to use it to not lose size. Havenāt really tried vacuum erection device yet. Been scared because of potential vascular issues. Going to ask my urologist for angiogram and an ultra sound with an induced erection.
Next i plan on continuing my treatment, get my testosterone levels re-tested to look at endocrinology treatments.
But at this point iām almost settled on getting an implant in a few months. If i wait for a year the insurance will cover half of it. But i see it like buying a car and donāt really care about the cost.
Beside, the more i wait the more fibrosis/non elastic tissue forms and the more size i will lose.
Heavily leaning toward Dr. Kramer: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdkQplDRDJF-vudzD1g9JGQ/videos or Dr. Eid in New York.
Have you looked at shockwave therapy to fix vascular/nerve issues? I am currently on this second week into the 8 week therapyā¦
