Scarring, Nodules and Implants

[Tx Git Slinger]

I'm seriously considering an implant. However, I do have some nodules and scarring from about 8 months of Trimix use. I think some of this is due to incorrect injection.

Anyway, my question is: to what extent does scarring/fibrosis/nodules preclude implantation? I don't have any serious curvature that would hint of Peyronies. However, I do have some superficial bruises and, when I check the sides of my corpora cav, there are some small lumps from the injections.

I backed off on the frequency of injections when the damage became more apparent and I was having to inject twice as much to get satisfactory results. I'm wondering if the Trimix exacerbated my venous leak??

In fact, I'm ceasing until my uro can look at this thing. Of course, I'll ask him if i'm a candidate for an implant in light of all of this.

I'm sure hopeful that a few months of injections hasn't ruined my stuff beyond repair!
Any thoughts on this????

Thanks!

Payronies is not just serious curvature. Peyronies is also scar tissues inside the corpora cavernosa. The doctor can make a physical examination and an ultrasound to tell you if it is Peyronies or not.
Even if is Peyronies is not the end of the world. During the implant surgery they are taking care also about the scars.

My 70 year old uncle had an implant installed TEN YEARS AGO for the express purpose of correcting severe Peyronie's curvature. (He says it was caused by overuse. Ha Ha Ha) The best part is that, AT AGE 80, he is still going strong, making love well and often. Not too shabby, I'd say.

Hi Tx Git Slinger

I've got the same problem from the injections and got scared to death to get peyronie in addition to the rich set of ED problems I have been already having. As a matter of fact I even developed slight "banana shape" to the right when semi-erected which I never had before injections.
I went to see the uro. He took a look and said there was no serious damage being done. He did notice some superficial scarring on the CC but said this was not threatening and very unlikely will develop to peyronie.
I am waiting for the surgery (there is a very long waiting list in Canada). As for the surgery, the doc said there was nothing (in terms of scarring) that would have a negative impact on the end result.
To my question about Vitamin E he said that I could take it; or not take it - would make no difference. He said just to continue my daily penile tissue health exercise and wait for my turn in the waiting list.
I asked whether or not I should take L-arginine and/or Acetyl-L-Carnitile. The doc said that there was some evidence to have a positive impact on the tissue recovery so I might try those; though not to get too excited.
So basically, all that is important till the surgery day is proper tissue exercise since the natural erection mechanism is malfunctioning and is no longer under the warranty

My personal daily schedule is like this:
45 min in the traction device
15 min pumping (before the shower)
soft constriction ring while in the shower
50 Jelquing after the shower... more like a massage
apply bio-oil to the penis to soften/minimize stretch marks from pumping and traction device.

and a fun "bonus" - shaking it hands-free after all the procedures... like in the clip "I am sexy and I know it"

Ah, that government run health care is really nice, isn't it.

In overall yes - in other cases it is much easier to develop unrecoverable changes or even die before getting on the surgery table due to the waiting lists.
But for this particular case, ultimately I'll get it done without a need for carrying a "second mortgage" while in US I wouldn't have a chance for this surgery at all (in terms of finances)... At least not until the age of 65 when Medicare coverage eligibility starts.
If I had funds for this type of surgery there would be no difference - I would just fly to NY and would get it done the very same way as any other guy without an insurance in US.
Hopefully one day I'll win the lottery ticket then all that "money talk" will become more of a "philosophical nature"

The worst urologist are telling about issues like sudden bending or other somehow Peyronies related issues:
“Take vitamin E and come back in a few months, in most cases it just disappear alone” As I read by the Internet, no one was lucky that this think will go away alone.
Regarding vitamin E, don't have any research regarding efficiency for Peyronies or any other tissue hardening.

Many Peyronies sufferers using daily Pentox (Trental), L-Arginine, low dose Cialis and Ubiquinol (or CoQ10 for young people) to try to stop the development of the disease.
Using also pump to keep good blood flow into the penis and maybe to straighten it.

Was implanted 6/21/12. Severe scaring after penile fracture. Drs. told me ultrasound showed severe scarring on in right cavernosa, and that he wasn't sure he could put a cylinder in it, but he wouldn't know till he got in there. He asked me if I was willing he could do the implant with a cylinder on the left side only... after ten years without I was willing to take a chance. Thank God he was able to place both cylinders. The scarring cost me at least two inches, which he also discussed with us beforehandi. As of yesterday I measured 5.5 length/ 6 girth. Total loss at this point 2.5 length/.5 girth., but it sticks up in the air at 50% inflated

I think as long as your message is understood nobody would really care about spelling. After all we are here to talk about lazy dicks rather than spelling tests

That is precisely the reason I went forward with the implant, once my insurance covered it! I was injecting also, with pretty good results. But, I was detecting things inside my penis that weren't there before. Doc said not to worry, but it wasn't his dick!
