Like a bad penny, I'm still here asking questions, peyronies is darn scary to patient -- now as imply, bane of a urologist's practice, in he or she can do precious little about condition. My continuing queries partly relate to r statement peyronies must resolve . . . past active stage. How long a period we looking at? Yes, my peyronies is appntly active: started as a minor kink, or indentation, is developing into a full-blown curving of [now] about 30 degrees to right. When flaccid, I can detect a cord-like internal ‘texture', length of has been changing, lengning. Right now I do have an appointment 12th; my doctor is planning to (pardon pun) "bone up" on procedure/literature concerning verapamil injections. He claims not to think much of injections, is frustrated of substantial progression in face of recommended vitamin E regimen. He has not mentioned anything of waiting a quiescent period after early progression. Please comment. Additionally, common sense suggests surgically incising small striations along side of plaque -- presumable runs along exterior of tunica -- would release bend. not? Would incite furr scarring? -- Edward [in Manitoba]

I answered this elsewhere, did I not?

I think not, in that my question concerns the having to wait for a resolution of the active phase. Nowhere is this referred to: that one must wait 'til Peyronie's has fully expressed itself [and has become quiescent] before therapy should be begun. To reiterate, why must one wait; and what characterizes this active phase vs. a quiescent phase.
