[EDIT: A slightly more intensive online search shows me that my urologist really did the bare minimum. I'm definitely going elsewhere for a second opinion.]
On rare occasions my penis becomes strangely misshapen. It happened recently and I video-recorded it and showed it to my urologist today. He identified it as hourglass-shaped, and I see from an online search that it is indeed the name of a legitimate condition. He asked me whether my erections curved to one side, and I showed him another video proving that yes they do.
He said that I might have Peyronie's, and he spent some time massaging my penis, looking for any hard deposits. He could not find any, and he ruled out Peyronie's. I asked him about an MRI, and he said that he has never sent anyone for a penis MRI. He said that since he could not feel any hardness, an MRI would not show anything.
My penis was at its smallest while with him, especially while he was rubbing it, and I wonder if better blood flow might've given him "more to work with" as far as finding evidence of Peyronies. He said that flaccid was better than erect, which I understand, but even flaccid I have a lot more to offer than what I put in front of him today. He assured me that I don't have Peyronie's, but I had at least two inches in the tank, so I wonder.
(And is it Peyronie disease or Peyronie's disease? I'm seeing it written both ways?)
