Coming up on 2 years post successful ralp but its clear to me
the ed issue although not terrible ,is not good enough for penetration.I do plan
on trying a different kind of pill (horrific reaction to Cialis), but am interested more in
the injectables. I know its been discussed here a lot and am aware of the 4 hr errection and the er
visis. But more important to me is the perryiones risk . I realize dr mullah s opinion is they don't cause it
but there are others that disagree and my own surgeon hedges and says its possible.My questions are are there any odds or percentages of this causing it. Also what is it like to live with perryionnes ?Does it only curve when you get an errection ?thereby preventing sex? is it painful? does it complicate everyday life?
My reasoning is if im not going to be able to do it unless I inject, then I might as well roll the dice and if I get p then my sex life was over anyway . And by the way my greatest sympathies to all perryiones sufferers

Peyronie's disease (note the correct spelling to help in your google searches.)
/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peyronie%27s_disease
From what I understand - it's a bit graduale. So if the injection "were" to cause a curve, you could stop the injections.

The risk factors I am aware of for Peyronie's Disease are an inherited tendency to connective tissue disorders (such as Dupuyten's Contracacture in your hands) and having had prostate surgery. Since we have quite a few of the latter as members here we have a number of members who suffer from Peyronie's Disease. We also have a number of members who inject. We have a few members who developed PD after injecting and some of them believe there is a causative link. On the other hand we have quite a few (me, for instance) who have injected hundreds of times and never had any PD problems. So I dunno.
I do know that if you Google for Peyronie's Disease and penile injections you will find injections as a
treatment
for PD but the links for discussion of injections as a possible
cause
for the disease mostly lead back to this forum and the aforementioned members who see a connection.
It is
plausible
that injections might cause micro-scarification that might trigger the formation of PD "plaques" but I can't find any studies that discuss it. More to the point, the notion that PD starts with "micro trauma" to the penis, while most doctors seem to believe it, doesn't have much actual evidence either. Most men with PD, even men who never injected, don't remember any sort of painful trauma and most men who
do
injure themselves don't go on to develop PD. So the micro-trauma theory, while it is nice to have an explanation, isn't actually that useful. The micro-traumas are
so
"micro" that men aren't aware they have occurred and the only way to avoid them would be to pack willy up in cotton wool and never let him come out and play.

My 2 cents ....
I have been injecting for about
6 months. Happy with the results, and my wife and I find that we end up injecting only about
1 time out of 3. We had to get creative over the past few years, and we have found that still works well. When we want the "full" treatment, we inject. most times we don't.
This may help with the binary decision thinking around Inject/Don't Inject
Take care,
pat
