Has anyone dealt with Peyronie's successfully? What helped?

Posted by soarus57 @soarus57, Jul 21 12:15pm

I am 67 yo with chronic stage Peyronies which presents as a significant (60°?) upward curve during Viagra induced erections. Less pronounced with non Viagra erections but more difficult to achieve and maintain without meds. Causes painful intercourse with wife but as she is several years older than I, a straight erection would most likely cause pain as well so we use other options. Fortunately, I have zero pain and orgasms are still attainable and enjoyable for us both. Has anyone else dealt with Peyronies successfully and if so, what methods did you use? I’ve read several online comments from men who have used Xiaflex but that seems to provide 50% improvement if any.

I had a 15%-30% curve, so the doctor did not think it was that bad. But to me, it was very noticeable and a problem. I bought a vacuum pump, primarily to keep the penis healthy while on ADT and not using the Trimix injections frequently. My local urologist said the pump would not help with the curve, but he was wrong. After a number of months, the curve was completely gone and it has stayed that way for the past couple years.

That is great news! I have a pump but I do not know how often, how long or at what pressure to use it. Did you have a protocol from your doc or did you just "wing it"?

Pump doesn't help with my curve. Makes it more pronounced. After some penetration blood leaves. Can't seem to find a small enough construction ring. I have 70% curve it cut length in half. It's very challenging sexually. Got trimx shot couple days ago worked great
Wife happy. So we ordered it. Talked to Dr about straightening, surgery or xiaflex not sure yet
