So I'm 24 years old. The reason I find myself on this forum, is that at the age 16 I was sitting at my desk. Honestly thinking back on it, it's always such a mind fuck. I basically got an erection and the left side of the head of my penis dug into the edge of the desk, and then pop. That's were it all started. I mean I think normally as a teen you get very firm and constant erections, but I would honestly say that mine were a little excessive but when that happended things changed. Anyways, the normal things that everyone else is discussing here, turtling of the penis, shrinking, ED etc. I would still get erections, but honestly it was different, it was at the base of my penis, the pop, and things got wobbly. I never spoke up, never went to the doctor. It really fucked up my relationships with people, getting close to girls was always difficult. As the years progressed things just got worse. At the age of like 22, I honestly couldn't take it anymore, went to the doctor, pretty horrible experience, got dismmised. So I just boxed it all up again. I came across implants when I was like 20, but I was a little in denial. Things really came to a head this year, I mean having sex with a broken dick is not fun, but when you meet a girl that you truly like and you end up pushing her away, it messes with you big time. So I tried again, starting going to doctors, again not the most pleasent experience, told it was all in my head, prescripbed cilalis, told my t-levels are fine etc... Finally got to see a urologist that actually took time with me, took me seriously, and confirmed, you have atrophy, you have peyronies, always knew that tbh, with all my reading. And so he referred me to another one of his collegues that specialises in peyronie's/implants/sexual medicine. At this point though I just want to give the implant a try, I really have no qualms about it, if it can give me most of what I have, if it can allow me to cultivate a realtionship, then so what? Because I want this resolved and am really feed up, the amount of pressure and stress this puts one someone is insane. If it breaks in 5 years or needs a revision so what? If I don't get any pleasure from it, so what? I just want to be able to stop push people away.

Wow, that’s quite a story. Sorry that you’ve had to deal with this at such a young age.
Also, sorry that the doctors you first saw did not listen! Sadly, some physicians just throw pills at the patient rather than getting to the real root cause of the issue.
Glad you found a doctor that listened and took the correct steps to get you on a path to get the help you need. At your age you deserve a healthy sexual life. You should do great when you get an implant. Thanks for sharing your story with the group.

Hey sleepless,

I just wanted to jump in here and respond a little. First, you are in the right place to get information and support on this issue. Many men (myself included) have had some kind of an injury "down there", so be assured you are not the first. When I found this forum I was pretty much at my wits end ... my equipment just didn't work, and I was avoiding relationships because of it. What I have learned is that the problem is both real (not in your head), and almost always fixable. Success is not guaranteed (not much i life is) - but the odds are very very good in your favor.

Now full disclosure, I am not bionic yet, but I soon will be. If you read through lots of posts you will learn learn that the most important thing you can do is choose your surgeon wisely. (I am in the proccess of researching and finalizing decisions now.)

Spend some time on the site. Be calm and don't do anything rash or rushed. Research. Be positive, be careful, take your time, make good decisions - and the odds are very high you will find a solution and be back in the game in no time.

If pills don’t work, then injections, pump with ring or just ring, or implant are the only solutions. Since you have peyronies, injections are a bad idea imo. Being young I would definitely not use a pump. I’d try using pills with a ring to see what happens. If not satisfactory, I would definitely research an implant. I was implanted at age 35 and I’m happy. You have the rest of your life ahead of you.... and I’m sure you’ll find the solution you’re looking for and spend the rest of your life fucking women’s brains out. Stay positive.

Totally agree the choice of the right surgeon is the most important decision in this whole journey. Why ? Because we all deserve they very best.

Most guys put something like what I have, but you can put whatever you want. Here is mine -
51 years old, married 29 years. Implanted Mar 30/17 by Dr. Brock of London, Ont, CANADA. (AMS 700 CX 18 + 2). Had implant removed Apr 29/17 due to Septic Shock. Liposuction By Dr. Gan and re-implant by Dr. Brock (AMS LGX 15 + 2) Dec 14/17.

Don't get too carried away with the doctor like his name, address, phone number, etc (anything that looks like advertising for him).. you can certainly say Dr. Jones (great Dr.)

Can you please be sure to put your city, state/province and country.

If you need further help, please ask, that's what I'm here for.
