peyronie
Nov 01, 2008 09:53AM in the Sexual Health Community
Hello. I had prostate surgery a year ago. somewhere around the 7-8 month of recovery i started to develop peyronies. My urologist has me using a VED several times a week to promote blood flow. I believe the concept is that the additional blood working through the fibrous tissue is supposed to break down the plaque. I would definitely seek treatment wit...
ED Diagnosis, or at least some advice

Listen to your girlfriend and go to your doctor. There could be--even at 21--a number of reasons for you trouble. You might also check out the book The Hardness Factor. It is written by an ED specialist/urologist. You can find it at your local Barnes and Noble or at Books a Million, etc. He also has a website. It could be mental. It could be guilt....

I h...

Hello. I am sorry to hear about your experience with an obviously gifted surgeon who is also "arrogant." I have read enough to know of whom you are writing, but since you didn't reveal his name, I won't. Try to look at the facts and not his bedside manner. Also don't hesitate to find another surgeon with a better "bedside" manner. Since I had robotic s...
