Hi all,
36 year old from UK. ED since 24 years. Gradual onset: Initially mild ED but by age 26-7 was severe. Now completely impotent and require 20mg Cialis for penetrative sex. No nocturnal erections. Saw some mild improvement at age 27 when I gave up hydrocortisone that I’d been using (probably too) regularly for eczema. Doctors said hydrocortisone had no role to play but I’m not convinced. Things took a turn for the worse in early 2015. Not sure why.
Have periodically approached medical professionals over the past 10 years. In May 2015 a urologist speculated that I had corporal fibrosis and/or peyronies, so I’ve spent a lot of time on the peyronies society forum, which has been very helpful. However, an MRI and ultrasound this year apparently showed that I do not have C.F. Not sure I trust the MRI scan results as the caverject did not take effect and the images were supposedly not optimum.
Upon physical examination one can detect an internal ‘woodiness’ in my penis which becomes more evident as you get closer to the glans. This has been picked up by several urologists, hence the idea that I have corporal fibrosis. But if not corporal fibrosis, then what? Any suggestions?
A few other symptoms: less of length when flaccid, loss of girth when erect. Glans engorge when semi erect but then shrink once fully erect. I’m very ‘tight’ down there and despite being relatively fit, the slightest exercise causes my penis to shrink to the point that it retracts within the body almost completely.
Currently on 10mg Cialis a day, using VED when I can, and awaiting results of an NPT test. VED has helped a little. I’m hoping that continued use will sustain what little functionality I have left. I find the idea of an implant quite abhorrent and I suspect my wife would as well. But I’m consoled by some positive reviews I’ve read.
If anyone has any suggestions as to what this ‘woodiness’ might be I’d be very grateful.
Many thanks
Peety
