Has anyone else noticed other changes such as a change in skin tone/colour and bending/curving of the penis?
My problem sounds similar but with a few other symptoms and has been going on for about 3 years now. I did suffer a slight knock to my penis on one occasion and the next morning I noticed bruising on the top side of my penis but don’t know if this is related. Anyway, it returned to normal quickly and I thought nothing of it. Sometime after this, I’m not sure how long, I noticed one morning that the head of my penis was enlarged. Again I thought nothing of this as it subsided and was fine the next couple of mornings. But it started becoming enlarged again on more and more occasions. Then my penis began hanging more to one side, and when I started to have an erection the right side seemed to fill up with blood first before the whole thing became engorged. Then maybe weeks or months after this, I can’t remember, all of a sudden the skin tone changed. It became very thin looking and unhealthy. Now my penis is becoming more and more curved to one side, as if there is a blockage in blood flow to the side in question.
My penis feels fine when I’m sat down or layed down, but as soon as I stand up the right side relaxes and is fine as it should be but the left side stays tight and constricted as if blood flow is not getting to it. And the whole thing feels hard inside and not relaxed as I think it should be. Also at the left side that seems to be the problem, there is a large protruding vein that was never there before. It feels constantly uncomfortable and it’s never off my mind because of this. I could live with the hard flaccid penis, and the prominent veins, but the fact that my penis is now becoming more and more curved to one side is very depressing. This plus the constant pain is not good.
I have seen 2 urologists so far and neither of them seem particularly interested. I did show one of them pictures of my penis in it’s worsened state and he did acknowledge that maybe it was changing but then just said that was normal. I think he either just didn’t know what the problem was or just didn’t care. I’ve had a doppler ultrasound scan, a pelvic MRI scan, and a cystoscopy. None of which have apparently shown anything wrong. I’m due to see my MD again next week to try and arrange a visit with a different urologist. I’m hoping to get another doppler scan as things have worsened considerably lately, and I cannot believe that this can happen without anything showing up. I was thinking maybe what the other guy suggested that it may be something to do with an artery, maybe a blockage to one on the left side. I don’t have any problems with sensation, or erections, apart from being very rarely in the mood these days due to what is happening.
I’d be interested to hear if anyone else has any of these symptoms too, I’ve been looking on the net since it started happening to me and although found things fairly similar I’ve not found anyone with something completely identical.
Also did someone mention they’d come across problems like this but mainly just to one side of the penis? Can you tell me where these posts are? I’d be interested in reading them. Thanks guys.
