Six years ago whenever I would get an erection, I experienced a dull achy
pain similar to the beginning of a Charley Horse, all along the left side of my
penis, and although my penis (when erect) had always been a “little” curved, I
started to notice that over time it had gone from a little, to a lot. By the
time I decided to talk to someone about it had become very pronounced, almost
straight up, and from approximately mid shaft my penis started to curve inward,
almost like a backwards question mark!
It would hurt
to have sex or masturbate, making orgasm very difficult to achieve. I finally
went to my local doctor who suggested that I had some scar tissue or fibrosis
and asked if I had injured myself? He even suggested that I might have a
condition called Peyronie’s.
Because I had recently been divorced I had lost my health care coverage and
was resigned to use my local VA, being I am a former veteran, but because the
wait times were so lengthy I decided to deal with this on my own.
I began extensive Google searches to try and find a remedy to my problems,
and found a doctor named Dr. Alexander A
Krakovsky FAAFS, MD. Whom purportedly had helped other men with the
same problems.
I called Dr. K and spoke to him at length about my symptoms. He indicated
that he felt I had a condition known as Peyronie’s Disease. He said that there
were a number of reasons people get Peyronies such as trauma to the penis,
surgery from Prostate Cancer, and that it typically starts to develop in males
over age 40. He told me that over time my symptoms would probably get worse,
which concerned me greatly because I had already watched them go from dull,
achy, slightly curved, to painful pronounced curve. Dr. K talked about a
surgical procedure where the suspensory ligament would be cut and suggested
following it up with traction. He told me that I should experience a gain in
length as well as alleviate the pain and curve that I was currently experiencing.
I waited awhile because the surgery was kind of expensive, $5600. I did
have a sonogram and found that I had some fibrosis (scar tissue). I made the
decision to have the surgery.
After the
surgery, within two weeks my erections began to feel normal again. Dr. K told
me I had a tremendous amount of scar tissue and felt it may have been due to
the two hernias surgeries I had at birth. He speculated that may have
contributed to the problems I was experiencing, but couldn't be 100% certain.
After the initial healing period I began to use the traction device he
recommended using. However I was never able to get it to work properly, as it
would always leak vacuum and then the rubber sleeve that connected to the
chamber would tear. After calling the manufacturer and explaining the problem
they sent me another chamber. Unfortunately that chamber failed too! He ended
up sending me four chambers, all of which would fail and be unable to hold
vacuum.
Being a machinist tool maker by trade I began to trouble-shoot what the
problem was with the design of the chamber and why it leaked vacuum. Once I
discovered why it leaked I went about designing my own chamber with some
additional improvements. I didn't like that the original chamber was so shallow
and only attached to the glans of my penis. I didn't want the traction from the
weight to be pulling from my glans, so I purposely made my chamber with a
deeper engagement that distributed the traction pull more from above the glans
on the shaft of my penis. I made some molds and purchased a silicon rubber
(Dragon Skin 10) from Smooth-On, and made my own rubber with a thicker wall,
which was less prone to tear. Once I started using my own chamber and rubber it
wasn't very long (approx. 3 months) before I started to notice gains in length
and girth both in the flaccid state and in the erect state.
I shared all my modifications to the chamber and my results with Dr.
Krakovsky. He was delighted to hear about all of it, and then shared with me
that several other men he had done procedures for had experienced the same
problems with their traction device too. He contacted several of them and told
them about my experience. They all requested that he give them my phone number
so that they could call me and purchase my traction device. Over a short period
of time I began to make all the traction devices for all of Dr. Krakovsky's
patients.
Within a year I had made nearly 100 traction devices all from word of
mouth! It was at that time I realized that this could be something I could turn
into a business. So once again I began a Google search for someone who had
significant experience in PE. I found Dr. Richard Howard. I gave him a call and
shared my story. Interestingly enough he shared with me that he too had the
exact same conceptual idea for a vacuum hanger, but just didn't have the
manufacturing capabilities. I sent him one of my chambers and he found it to be
exceptional and the rest is history. We have since developed a solid working
relationship and work in concert with one another. With his 30+ years of PE
experience we have been able to help many men in their quest to make penis
enlargement a reality, many with multiple inch gains!
