Hourglass penis when semi-erect, is it peyronie's disease?

Yes man.. let's remain hopeful... From what I can gather only Xtreme cases require more attention and otherwise it should naturally go away provided you eliminate what's causing this tissue scarring and plaque buildup...

 

I'm 20 and I've had the hourglass shape for about 6 months?
The difference is that I used to masturbate prone (with face lying down) and even though I didn't masturbate that often (about 2/3 times a week) I think I may have damaged just like you did.
I've been noFap for 9 days and still hoping that it will go away eventually by itself... I'm pretty worried

 

Hey brother.. sorry to hear your having the same problem. Yea I guess for me was around Christmas when it first appeared for me.. so 4 months about.. I found this thread about it then and tried to just slow down fapping and being so gentle when I fapped like barely even squeezing.. but then a couple of weeks ago it was back and I seen it again realizing it it's not healed and I going to have to just quit everything all together and do the hard mode and hopefully fully recovered like this thread suggested I could....

I kid you not 2 days after I stopped pmo I started to have the stinging stickery sensation like the gentleman's talked about.. the healing pain. He was telling the gentleman he was experiencing.. Now I'm 17 days and that is all gone.. now I just can feel a slight feeling but not even pain or discomfort just knowing that something's going on and hopefully it's the continuation of the healing.. my penis for the most part has reacted very well morning Woods almost every morning hanging lower having nicer soft shape back again.. at this point I really do think it is healing but as they said before it may take quite a long time he said good news and bad news he said good news you will fully recover bad news it may take quite a while.. but s*** man who cares how long it takes as long as I can fully recover... I did do the research about penis narrowing The Hourglass shape Peyronie's disease you know penis curvature and it all is kind of under the same blanket of Peyronie's and from what I found surgeries for it is dangerous and that only extreme cases where the erect penis is severely curved would require something like that.. but most people would fall into just the mild cases where the waistband is appearing or the penis seems to be narrowed when semi-erect or or soft will heal over time just naturally.. I wish I was further along more than 17 days so I could really tell you what my experience was after months and months I wish these other guys that had talked about it we're back here saying what was going on but after 17 days like I say very very happy with what I'm seeing so far.... I started a journal of my experiences under classic reboot daily reports if you go to look at that under the forties years old section you can read day to day what I was experiencing and what I felt about what was happening.. I completely believe that the man says right about the bruising of the nerves the damaging of the blood vessels and the build-up of plaques and scar tissue that the blood can eventually break down over time and everything will fully heal but I have no idea how long in this may take is probably just different for everyone...

So what are you experiencing to this point just seeing the waistband when you're semi-erect and your full erection is completely normal I would assume so since you were continuing to masturbate 2 to 3 times a week... Some of that feeling really I think unless you are full-on erection is having a serious curvature then you are just a mild case.. and Mild cases should be just fine provided you completely let your penis and body do what it needs to do to break down these plaques and Scar tissues allowed blood vessels to heal themselves and for the nerves to be bruised anymore so I guess first the nerve endings the bruisings would heal and you would start to be gaining more sensitivity which is possibly wire the stinging at stickering sensation begins to be felt during the healing process... Next I would believe that the blood vessels will have to heal normalizing the procedure of blood flow through the penis which then in turn overtime can eventually break down the scar tissues and plaque buildup and hopefully return the penis to complete normal physical function over some time and then all you have to worry about it's the mental aspect if there is a problem there for you which for me there was for sure...

I know you're pretty worried man I really know that you are and I was in the same way as you.. at that 9-day point I was still really freaked out but now I'm at 17 days and I have stabilized mentally and I'm really happy with what I've seen so far and think things are going real well and I bet you in another week or a week and a half you'll start feeling much better to hopefully keep going with you with what you're doing and report back to me so I can know that your path is is following along similarly to mine....

 

How does one know if you have something more severe than pied. Anyway to know if severe damage has been done that can't be healed or needs medical attention. My penis has started to have a noticeable bend now.

 

Also I would think that the frequency with which you masterbate has something to do with it but even more importantly is the aggressiveness or pressure which you were masturbating how tightly you are gripping because the phenomenon that they say you know damages does the damage is the death grip phenomenon having to squeeze Tighter and Tighter and Tighter as your penis becomes more desensitized and more desensitized and more numb until eventually you're squeezing so tight you're damaging and you don't even realize it.. death grip syndrome..

 

thanks for the response! I really appreciate that you shared your story, hopefully we'll be just fine.
well, i have a slight (I think) left curvature while erect, but it doesnt bend in the same area where the hourglass figure takes place, the bend starts right in the base I guess. But since the curvature is not that severe (also I think I've always had a slight curve) I think I shouldn't even think about pyronies. Also, the base of the penis gets kinda swollen during the hourglass shape, do you experience the same? Btw, the hourglass shape disappears after a few seconds if I physical stimulate.
In the last few days I think it's been easier for me to get an erection, I found myself getting erected just by messaging my crush lol
I was also worried cause ppl who have this problem normally are PMO addicts and I'm not even close to that, I really hope my body will heal in time...
Also, do you do that hot and cold towel thing the guy mentioned? I dont get how it could help, at least the hot one

 

I have no issue in stop fapping for as long as it has to be, as I said, I'm not an addict whatsoever, that's good news for me, I guess

 

When erect or soft???

 

It’s all about taking the time to heal yourself.

 

No I don't do any hot and cold towel thing now the only thing I've been doing so far is just no pmo deal and letting it try to just naturally heal.. seems like it's slowly getting there.. I can't say I really noticed any swelling at the base when I saw The Hourglass just the waistband thing they describe is all I saw that really looked abnormal.. but listen man the only time my thing was getting hard was when I was stroking to p*** so I'd be working it to erection see the Hourglass thing and then when I was fully erect it was totally gone... And also I think lots of men have very slight curve starting from the base I'm not sure but I think that's pretty damn normal..

 

Errect

 

Well if it's a noticeable bend that wasn't noticeable before... That's definitely not good but not necessarily severe... I guess I'm not an expert enough to really say what would be severe and what would be mild I think I could only really say what would be mild for sure.... But a noticeable Bend when you are erect you might have to do some research to find out but from what I gathered I was thinking it meant a Bend of like the 90-degree type of Bend like severely bent like having trouble to even have intercourse it is so bent and that being what they mean by severe

 

Whats strange is the bend happened shortly after starting my nofap journey. Never had this a year ago.

 

Not sure what to tell you on this one my friend now for me I got the stinging stickery pain in the left side of my penis after I started the nofap 2 days after in fact but then I just figured well I'm not numbing my penis through masturbation so I'm starting to feel hopefully what is healing pains.. but The Hourglass thing in the slight kind of narrowing which is a tribute to the blood not flowing right all started before then no fat and then hoping to nofap will give my penis time to heal those blood vessels and nerves and everything so that the blood flows right again and whatnot says it with enough time and maybe lots of time months and months and months that I should be able to fully recover I hope so I don't think it's getting any worse though for sure

 

Man I feel like I put myself into the Royal Rumble with all of this because not only did I quit pmo in the last 2 weeks I've basically quit cigarettes and weed on top of p*** and masturbation none of it anymore and I have been feeling like I'm going to die any second some days I'm feeling real good other days I feel like I'm pulverized meat... It's going to be real hard for me to really really assess how well things are healing and how I'm doing until I get past the withdrawals from at least cigarettes and marriage Awana.. even though I'm on day 17 of no pmo I'm really probably only one week into the quitting of those other two things so right now you know I've got a lots of Hope and it seems like things are going well on the pied front morning would most of the time and just so you know looking a little bit better hanging lower but I feel you know what I'm hoping is healing pains but like the dude said man you just got to give yourself time none of this is life-threatening I don't believe so decisions don't have to be made quickly especially about going to the doctor especially about having surgery of some kind which I hear is dangerous and extremely risky..

Man I wish none of us were having to deal with this it is entirely very tricky to figure out if we're going to come through this or it's going to get worse but like the guy says man just give it time that's what I'm banking on

 

I have the same thing going on. Except I don’t have a burning tingly pain...more of a ache. I’m totally freaking out.

I made a urologist appointment but they can’t get me in till may 2nd....may 2nd!!!!! How the hell am I supposed to wait till then and not loose my sanity?

 

Well.. have you stopped pmo.. Initially I saw the hourglass think. Freaked me out. But there was no pain at all and once hard it was gone.. and I only saw it for a few days.. so I thought being alot gentler was doing the trick.. but then a couple months go by and I see it again.. Again , no pain at all.. but this time I notice what i think they describe ad narrowing.. now I'm really kinda worried.. so I joined and started my no pmo journey.. I guess I'm in what they call hard mode, or Monk mode.. It's basically forget you have a penis don't touch it don't do nuthin except pee with it.. the only way you get to ejaculate is if u have a wet dream..don't watch porn don't do nuthin.. Now.. 2 days after I started the stinging stickery started . It seems most likely to be healing pain as this thread suggests because it started after I made the decision to leave it alone and let it do its thing.. now it's been two weeks and that feeling is completely gone.. my junk does have a little ache sometime.. but almost not even noticable.. the thread suggested that it has to heal the bruised nerves and blood vessels and then the blood has to break down stuff that's built up.. plaque and Scar Tissue.. so it seems to me like that initial pains was the first phase of the healing and now the barely noticeable ache is probably the blood breaking down the junk that's not supposed to be there.. so I got my morning wood back like almost immediately and I've been making a conscience effort to observe what happens when it's returning to soft. I did research and came away with the conclusion that peyronies is the blanket disease that covers The Hourglass the penis narrowing and the severe curvature.. of.the penis.. I thought that it pretty much said no surgery would be needed unless it was an extreme case of extreme curvature.. if it's just the hourglass or or the narrowing it's a mild case and should resolve itself naturally over time.. provided you give it the chance to heal.. I will say I've noticed lately commercials on TV about peyroni's for medication to be prescribed.. I bet when you go to the urologist in may he will probably say you do not have a severe case and just prescribe you some medicine to try.. right now I think the best thing for you to do is just do what I've done is just leave it the heck alone.. I personally feel like this will go away just as this thread suggest because I'm just not noticing the things I was before and the things I am noticing now are all positive... It looks bigger more often it just seems to be starting to go back to acting more like what it used to before I deadened it lol.. anyways man I know you must be really freaked out because I was to really really freaked out.. But here I am now almost 3 weeks into this and I'm feeling real positive I like the results so far... You have to imagine that this maybe wasn't something that just occurred on you overnight this is something that you have progressively been causing to yourself over a long period of time of p*** and masturbation at least that's the case for me.. so I'm just telling myself that to think this is going to be a quick cure is stupid it took a long time to cause it might take a long time to cure it.. but let me tell you it's getting better not worse that's absolutely for sure... So man don't freak out I mean you're going to be freaking out but just keep telling yourself that this is really true man you can I think totally recover at least the physical side of what's going on down there.. And you shouldn't be worried about the mental part of it until the physical part is all straightened out no pun intended... So I'm here for you bro anytime you want to talk anytime you got something that is happening and you want to see if I went through it I will be here for you man but just relax you can't see the urologist until May just leave it alone till then and see what happens..

 

Thanks man! I hope you’re right because it giving me anxiety attacks!

 

Well man I mean have you read this entire thread from the beginning what the first two guys were talking about... My experience is seeming to go along pretty much as the responder replied... So I hope I'm right to but I'm not trying to be right or wrong.. I'm just trying to chill out and give this thing some time like the original posters on this thread said to.... And I can understand anxiety attacks ... Been through all of that..... But man I had like the three headed demon going dude.. for years and years and years.. pmo with weed and chain smoking cigarettes all rolled up into one disastrous little self-gratification process every night.. so I think it's going to take awhile for me... You haven't said much about what it was you were doing as far as p*** masturbation and other addictions go but however severe or not severe your habits were my determine you know how long is it going to take.. did you have PIED.. because the thing is is once the p e d sets in then we're brutalizing are penises to get pleasure and we don't even realize it.. I did that for a long time man and I'm sure the longer somebody does that the longer it will take to heal...

 

Yeah I have pied. About 5 years ago I stopped for a few months and my erections came back stronger then ever...so I know Nofap isn’t bullshit. Then I had a engagement break off and I got back into drinking and porn as much as I could. I got rid of the drinking again...which was hard as hell...but quiting porn is a whole other animal this time around.
