PEYRONIES

PEYRONIES WITH HOURGLASSING THE DAY BEFORE SURGERY

TWO MONTHS AFTER SURGERY WITH MODELING


The most common complaint Male Sexual Function Specialist hears is shortening of the penis.

From Mayo Clinic Staff
Peyronie's (pa-ro-NEEZ) disease is the development of fibrous scar tissue inside the penis that causes curved, painful erections.
Men's penises vary in shape and size, and having a curved erection is common and isn't necessarily a cause for concern. However, in some men, Peyronie's disease causes a significant bend or pain. This can prevent a man from having sex or may make it difficult to get or maintain an erection (erectile dysfunction). For many men, Peyronie's disease also causes stress and anxiety.
In some cases, medications may help. Surgery to treat Peyronie's disease is generally only recommended if the curvature and pain are severe enough to prevent sexual intercourse.

Peyronie's disease symptoms may appear suddenly or may develop gradually. The most common signs and symptoms include:
· Scar tissue. The scar tissue (plaques) associated with Peyronie's disease can be felt under the skin of the penis as flat lumps or a band of hard tissue.
· A significant bend to the penis. Your penis may be curved upward, downward or bent to one side. In some cases, the erect penis has an "hourglass" appearance, with a tight, narrow band around the shaft.
· Erection problems. Peyronie's disease may cause problems getting or maintaining an erection (erectile dysfunction).
· Shortening of the penis. Your penis may become shorter as a result of Peyronie's disease.
· Pain. You may have pain during an erection, only during an orgasm or anytime your penis is touched.
The curvature associated with Peyronie's disease may gradually worsen. At some point, it generally stops getting worse. In most men, pain during erections improves within one to two years but the scar tissue and curvature remain. Rarely, both the curvature and pain associated with Peyronie's disease improve without treatment.
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if pain or curvature of your penis prevents you from having sex or causes you anxiety. An accurate diagnosis is needed to determine whether treatment may help and to rule out other causes of your symptoms.
The day before implant surgery with modeling by Dr. Douglas Milam at Vanderbilt in Nashville TN. A 24 year old single young man had peyronies with hour glassing and ED. Erections would only last a few seconds.
His surgery was an implant with the AMS 700 LGX and modeling.
Two months after implant surgery and modeling by Dr. Douglas Milam at Vanderbilt in Nashville TN.
With the AMS 700 LGX implant and modeling he has now regained to within 1cm of his normal penile size. The LGX is the only implant that expands in both length and girth. CAUTUON: a very skilled Male Sexual Function Specialist that does about 100 a year should only do this surgery. Only less than 4 or 5 qualified doctors worldwide.
He now has a normal sex life and many girl friends. The girls tell him he is the best they ever had.

  1. Thank you Jack for sharing this. The pictures really tell the story. It is a dramatic improvement. At 24 years of age, it would have been really tough to go through life with what you see in the first picture, and ED on top of that.

  3. How is Peyronie’s Disease Treated?

    SURGERY - XIAFLEX - ANDROPEYRONIE

    In a very few number of cases (about 13 out of 100), Peyronie's disease goes away without being treated. Many health care experts suggest treating the disease without surgery for the first 12 months after the disease is first noticed.
    Men with small plaques, not much curving of the penis, no pain, and no problems with sex may not need to be treated. If you need to be treated, there are 3 choices.

    1 Surgery for Peyronie's Disease : There are 3 basic ways to fix Peyronie's disease with surgery, but Surgery is not without risks and can include shortening of the penis (scar retraction) and a chance that the distortion will return. COST: $25,000 - $35,000
    -making the side of the penis opposite the plaque shorter
    -making the side of the penis that curves longer
    -placing a prosthetic device inside the penis

    2 Penile Injections ( XIAFLEX® ) COST: 2 vials $2,650
    Injecting a drug right into the plaque brings higher doses of the drug to the problem than when a drug is taken by mouth. Plaque injection is often used for men with acute phase disease who aren't sure they want to have surgery. The skin is often numbed before the shot to reduce pain.
    Injection of CCG into collagen-containing structures such as the corpora cavernosa of the penis may result in damage to those structures and possible injury such as corporal rupture. Treatment of Peyronie's disease with intralesional therapy: Injection of collagenase is contraindicated in the treatment of Peyronie’s plaques that involve the penile urethra due to potential risk to this structure and in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to collagenase used in any other therapeutic application or application method. Injection of collagenase into collagen-containing structures such as the corpora cavernosa of the penis may result in damage to those structures and possible injury such as corporal rupture (penile fracture).
