DEAR DEIDRE: When a passionate night of sex with my partner led to my penis being injured, I wrote to you in a panic.
It had a large indent at its base and was curving sharply to the left, like a banana. Worse, my erection was weaker than before.
I felt so embarrassed. I’m 45 and my partner is 42. You told me it sounded like I was developing a common condition called Peyronie’s disease and that I shouldn’t ignore it.
I should see my GP and also contact the British Dupuytren’s Society (dupuytrens-society.org.uk) for advice on treatments and ways to see a specialist quickly.
You also sent me your support pack on Solving Erection Problems.
My doctor referred me to a hospital consultant, who confirmed I do have Peyronie’s and reassured me that it should get better.
He also recommended a pump to help with my erections. Thank you for making me feel less anxious.
