Greetings.
I had a right-side inguinal hernia repaired in December 2020. Immediately afterward, my erections were no longer slightly curved up. Instead, it now emerges from my groin upward for about an inch, then bends, so it's horizontal, then about the last third dips downward. It FEELS like there is something pulled tight across the base underside, which is preventing it from going properly erect. I can still orgasm, and they are a bit more intense, as if the skin was pulled tighter. Intercourse is problematic, as the bends increase potential for more bending while thrusting. My penis is fine when flaccid, but as soon it starts to arouse, it bends.
I told the hernia surgeon about it. He said it might be due to aging, and referred me to a urologist. Before I saw the urologist, I found out about Peyronie's disease, but the examples I've seen are bent up or sideways. The urologist examined me, figured I had Peyronie's, and later put a scope up my urethra. Everything was fine. He then referred me to a urology surgeon, who said I could have surgery that would shorten my penis during the repair, spend $ 30,000.00 on Xiaflex, or use a traction device.
Neither of the urologists said anything when I said it started right after the surgery. I can't see how traction would help with a flaccid penis, and I don't think I'll be able to maintain an erection for 30 minutes twice daily in a traction device. Also, one would think that Peyronie's would occur over time, not instantaneously.
Anyone know if the hernia repair process involves tightening up structures that could have this result?
