Is The Bend In The Penis Permanent?
when my penis is hard like if i push slightly down on it or pull it. Its been like it for about 2 weeks now, so i got some Ibuprofen to take to see if it helps sort it out. The doc said there s nothing you can do about it, there is no cure. she said it will remain like it forever. so i was a bit pissed off with that response, but i do believe her to be wrong. any suggestions, or success stories?

Hello,
This is Peyronie's. It MOSTLY is not permanent. There are treatments but part of the problem is they never test the treatments and certain people grow out of it normally so the treatment looks better than it is.
Certainly, with surgery, it can be corrected (probably. the scar after surgery often puts it back. we won't mention the dreaded Z penis).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
