Hi everyone,
In a nutshell, I have been struggling with chronic balanitis for about two years now. To tackle this condition, I had a circumcision back in April, which has somewhat improved the condition since then but, well, I have some new problems now.
First, the circumcision is not symmetrical but skewed - the 'doctor' cut off more skin from the left side and less from the right side. Because of this, the penis is now leaning more to the left. Of course, I visited the man asking why this happened, for which he responded with a shrug saying that the skin will flatten after some time. Please, check the photos below. Do you think I should have a re-circumcision or just wait until the skin "flattens"?
Second, a few months after the circumcision, to my horror, I noticed that the penis was more bent to the left and its overall shape resembled something similar to an hourglass. To be more specific, there is some narrowing, it does not hurt, not inflamed or anything. It just looks very weird... Do you think it might be a Peyronie's disease? !
Unfortunately the ONLY people that can help you with this are Urologists - either go back to the one who did your circumcision or get a 2nd and perhaps 3rd opinion from different Urologists …
**Update: **
I have recently moved to Belgium and so had an opportunity to consult a urologist in a specialised clinic. Truth to be told, there are no good news yet.
Having consulted a professional and having had an ultrasound of penis (while erected; used caverject), the doctor came to a conclusion that it is definitely a Peyronie disease. On the bright side, as he explained, the plaques I have are not calcified so in case of any treatment it will be much easier to get rid of them (still quite challenging though).
That is to say, I have already had two injections of Xiapex (the medication was banned in Europe a few years ago but I have succeeded in finding the last 3 vials remaining in the country!). So, the doctor explained to me that chances of success were about 30%, and the curvature could improve up to 17 degrees (could be even more or less, it varies case by case). From Monday, I am starting to do some stretching exercises which might reduce the curvature as the plaques must be more flexible now after the injections.
Wish me luck!
Good luck! and how is your balanitis?
