Strained penis muscle/ligament? Damage?
Hi
About 8 days ago I awoke in the middle of the night with a painful erection (first time I have experienced this)
In the days that followed, I tried to asess the situation myself:
The pain recurs mostly during/whilst developing erections but sometimes also depending on movements ie) when excersizing/jogging etc.. The area is very sensitive and mastubating would clearly bring more pain..
The location of the pain is on the top side, at the base of the penis running up the shaft about an inch.
My initial thoughts were that this was some sort of vain rupture,blockage or trauma.
I went to my GP who examined me and suggested that it was most likely the result some minor muscle damage inside the penis as a result of a prolonged erection or slight trauma. I was prescribed Difrene as a pain-killer/antiinflammaory and told it would resolve itself.
The problem seemed to be getting better but now in the last two days I have become more aware of it again. I have not masterbated for fear of further aggrivating the situation
It was quite hard to present this to the GP as it is mostly prevailing when either erect, or developing an erection. When I examine the penis in this state, I can feel a slightly enlarged ligament? in the area (well what feels like a ligament running up the penis to the right of the centre)
Does this sound like anything you would be familiar with? Do you think the GP's assessment is correct and it is most likely superficial damage that will heal over a week or two?
Many thanks for your help. I am 28 years old by the way

to all,
I have seen a urologist and was diagnosed with Peyronies disease. This is a scarring due to trauma to the penis area. I am being traeted with pentoxifylline and transdermal cream (all prescription).
