| Wanted to report that after 14 weeks post PVP (Feb 23, 05) things are
starting to settle down. Flow is good. The urgency when getting up from
reclining or lying down is gradually diminishing. Had my first night
last night with only one nighttime visit to the bathroom. The retro is
showing signs of starting to recede. Things are good!!!!

| After the procedure, I was on Bactrim DS x2 day for 6 days and Pyridium
x3 day for a week. My regular med program includes Advil 2 tabs at
night for peripheral neuropathy.

| PS Doc prescribed Tylenol #3 and I took that only at night to sleep
since I was off the ibuprofen for a week before and after the procedure.
I had bleeding for the first 12 hrs and had to self catheterize x3
during the first 12 hrs. After the first 12 hrs there was really little
pain/discomfort except for the burning in the urinary tract for 2-3 days
which is similar to that which one experiences after a cystoscopy.

| Congratulations. I'm now 8 weeks post PVP, and it's reassuring to know from
'veterans' like yourself that things will continue to improve.

| I am 10 weeks post PVP, and have suddenly developed Peyronies!
I know this has nothing to do with the PVP, but still it is quite a
surprise...Trying celebrex and vitamin E, will see if it helps.
As to the PVP, my symptom score is down from 21 to 9 so there is a
substancial improvement, but still getting up 2 times at night.
My uro says 4 months for full recovery and I think he is right

| Bob, you say you know Peyronies disease has nothing to do with pvp. What do
you base that on?
A brief search of webpages about the subject show that little is known
about the cause but repeatedly cite that trauma can be a cause:
from: http://www.peyroniesdisease.co.uk/Cause.htm
Causes
Many researchers believe the plaque develops following trauma (hitting or
bending) that causes localized bleeding inside the penis. A chamber
(actually two chambers known as the corpora cavernosa) runs the length of
the penis. The inner-surface membrane of the chamber is a sheath of elastic
fibers. A connecting tissue, called a septum, runs along the center of the
chamber and attaches at the top and bottom. If the penis is abnormally
bumped or bent, an area where the septum attaches to the elastic fibers may
stretch beyond a limit, injuring the lining of the erectile chamber and,
for example, rupturing small blood vessels.

| My uro points out that my Peyronies has developed on the external part
of the penis, which is at least an inch outside the area subject to PVP.
Also, I believe that the plaque develops over time, so it is unlikely
that if would occur in just 8 weeks. In any case, I have not read on
this board of any cases like mine following PVP.
Mostly, I want to improve the situation and am trying Vitamin E and
Celebrex. After that, para-aminobenzoate. My uro says that injections
have not been effective on plaque on the upper surface of the penis.
Since I am 69, and since I can still function, I am unwilling to undergo
surgery.

| Thanks for the further explanation. My initial reaction had been that it
sounded too much of a coincidence not to be related to the pvp, but I had
not factored in the time it takes for the plaque to develop.
