I'm looking for some advice on peyronies disease. I think my partner may have it. He has problems with ED and when erect I noticed his penis was bent upwards. Over the past year he has suffered badly with ED and it's been difficult for him to talk to me. I try to talk to him but it feels like all I say is wrong. He is experiencing some discomfort at times too and I'm worried if we dont go to a doctor it might be irreversible.
Any advice or experience would be very much appreciated.

Is the bend increasing? If it is then seeing a doctor is the only option. Best wishes.
In other words I just make him go and I go with him. Thank you.
If he sees a urologist they will want to give him a xiaflex injection. That didn't work for me. Instead I took L-acetyl Carnitine and iodoral 12.5 mg iodine supplements. Actually I took 1/2 doses of the iodoral. Don't over-do that as it could lead to thyroid issues. Not a doctor. Just saying what worked for me. The carnitine is available from vitacost.com. iodoral is available from Amazon. Worth a try. Good luck.
Thank you. I'm going to have a chat with him and see if I can get him to the doctor. But I will see if he's willing to follow your advice. Can you give me an idea of how long you had to take them?
Hello WSOPeddie. I got circumcised 3-4 months ago and my partner recently pointed out that the tip on my penis bends downwards when it's erect. I've never noticed it, but the bending is very obvious and it seems to get worse every week. I've tried to reach out to my doctor, but the healthcare system here is just very slow.
For how long did you take these tablets? How many tablets per day?
when you say "took 1/2 doses of iodoral" does that mean you half a tablet every day?
See a urologist asap. I got it 2-1/2 years ago then diagnosed with prostate cancer, had a prostatectomy 10 months ago, not related but u should not let it go un-checked ... be proactive
We have had a chat and we are going to go and see the doctor together. We have done a bit of research together and it looks like the docs are going to go with the watch and wait approach from what other people are saying but we are going to go anyway. Thank you for the advice
