Peyronie’s disease treatment with Genesen Acutouch Pointers
Genesen Acutouch pens for Peyronie’s treatment
So many readers of the Peyronie’s Disease Treatment Blog use the Genesen Acutouch therapy pens and report good tissue changes after PD treatment with them. For this reason this blog commentary will focus on basic techniques and concepts for their correct use.
Many people ask about treating the Peyronies scar with them, wanting to know if it is better to use the holders that come with the pens or to just hold both pens manually.
The answer is that either methods will work for Peyronies treatment, depending upon each person’s particular response to the therapy. While there is a lot of research behind the development and use of the Genesen Acutouch Pointers by the Korean manufacturer, I would start out closely following their guidelines. Most men find using the Genesen pen holders is more comfortable and convenient, although some say the rigid distance that the holders mandate is not as effective for them as a slightly greater/lesser distance. Each user must feel free to experiment with the Genesen Acutouch instruments or pens – be creative – and use the approach that delivers the greatest “reaction” that is described on the PDI website.
Some men get confused about pen tip placement around the Peyronies scar. It is important to remember to keep the pen tips 1/8 to ¼” from the edges of scar. If a scar is ¼” in size, that means your pointers are rather close to each other, and if a scar is 3” in size your pointers are considerably farther apart. The idea is to get the pens to deliver the current through the substance of the scar – whatever its size. Since the manufacturer’s holder keeps them 1 1/2 inches apart, I would work with that distance too, especially if the scar is smaller than 1¼” in size. Even if it is pea-size, try keeping the pens in the holder and stay farther away than the 1/8 to ¼” distance from the edges that I just mentioned. You see, there are no rules, just guidelines that should eventually result in greater reactivity. Break most any rule I give you about the Genesen pens, to see if you can generate a stronger or more dependable reaction. Stand on your head in the corner, if it seems to give you the greatest response.
The Genesen pens are extremely popular for good reason; they are effective, easy to use, inexpensive compared to going to an acupuncturist at $90-$125 a visit, and very convenient to use in the privacy of your own home.
Each set of Genesen pens comes with my own 10 pages of notes that I created for the treatment of Peyronie’s disease. These outline some very common and popular treatment protocols. Any of these could be used by an acupuncturist who might easily needle these for you. The big advantage of the Genesen pens is that you can treat yourself in this very same manner, any time of the day or night, and several times a week, as you wish. You can really concentrate your treatment with frequent care for best results, without going broke.
Consider adding the Genesen Acutouch pens to your therapy lineup if you are not seeing the kind of results you want.
Peyronie’s disease treatment to bring back lost length and girth
Here is a very brief but informative email exchange about Peyronie’s disease treatment I had just today with a man who I know has a fairly advanced case of PD.

Subject: QUESTION
Hi Dr. Herazy,
I have noticed decrease in length and girth. Can this be brought back to original size? Can the remedies you recommend help change this back?
What do you suggest in terms of remedies or therapies? I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,
XXXXXXXXX
Greetings XXXXXX,
Men note partial or complete recovery from lost dimensions when using:
1. General Peyronies treatment from the PDI when applied in an aggressive and faithful way often brings back a good part of lost dimensions, sometimes complete.
2. PDI Gentle Manual Penis Stretching Technique© video. This is a very direct way to stretch the Peyronies plaque material and reduce the contraction that causes lost length especially.
3. The Erektor external penile support device when used with some regularity during intercourse. See the link at http://peyronies-disease-help.com/impotence-erectiledysfunction-erektor.html

Peyronie’s disease plaque fibrin patterns
Peyronie’s plaque is the heart of the problem
Peyronie’s disease is an abnormal collection of fibrous pathological tissue in the deep tissue layers within the substance of the tunica albuginea and the Peyronies plaque; it is also characterized by excessive deposition of collagen within that same plaque material. Even thought the cause of Peyronie’s disease remains unknown, direct injury or repeated small trauma is most often thought to be the two most likely inciting events eventually resulting in Peyronie’s disease.
Materials and Methods
To understand the onset and cause of the Peyronie’s disease plaque or scar tissue that is always present in every case of PD, it is necessary to follow a simple approach that examines for the presence of collagen, elastic fiber, and fibrin content within the PD plaque material and evaluate its distribution.
Peyronies plaque or scar tissue specimens were taken from 33 Peyronie’s disease patient volunteers, and control penile tissue samples and nodular tissue samples were taken from eight patients with Dupuytren’s contracture (a related and similar problem of the hand). These samples were analyzed to determine collagen staining characteristics, and patterns of elastic tissue distribution. In addition, plaque tissue from another 19 Peyronie’s disease patients, control tissue and nodular tissue from Dupuytren’s disease were also analyzed for fibrin in these same samples.
Results
Abnormally stained collagen was found in 32 of 33 plaque specimens (97%), disrupted elastic fibers in 31 of 33 plaque specimens (94%), and abnormal fibrin deposits were also found in plaque tissue from 18 of 19 patients (95%). None of these abnormalities were located in normal or scared tunica from control patients.
Conclusions
These findings of fibrin deposits in Peyronie’s plaque tissue is consistent with the concept that repetitive injury and disruption of the small blood vessels and capillaries of the area results in fibrin deposition in the tissue space and has served to provide insights into the pathophysiology of Peyronie’s disease.
Tricks for successful Peyronies treatment
Hints for better results with Peyronie’s treatment
Here are a few little tricks that I developed and discovered when I was actively treating my own Peyronie’s disease. While none of these are earth-shaking or terribly ingenious, these ideas can make your life easier and your Peyronie’s treatment plan just a little more effective in the long run.
See if these strategies fit into your way of doing things:
1. Keep a bottle of enzymes on your bathroom sink. When you get up to urinate in the middle of the night, it is a good time to take an extra 1 or 2 or 3 Neprinol pills or other enzymes. This will keep your blood level saturated while there is no additional food in your system for several more hours. Night time is a good time for enzyme therapy.
2. Get in the habit of watching TV at night with a hot water bottle on top of your scar. Make your TV time productive so you can d some simple Peyronie’s treatment while you are relaxing.
3. Get in the habit of watching TV at night while you are doing some of the soft tissue massage you learned from the “Massage and Exercise” video. Make your TV time productive.
4. Keep your vitamins and enzymes away from heat and sunlight. Don’t keep them in the car when it is warm outside. Even a few hours of exposure can reduce potency.
5. A large “X” written on top of the therapy bottles you take with food will help you to quickly pick them out from the others. A large “0” written on top of the therapies you take on an empty stomach will do the same for your enzymes.
6. Place your vitamin case or your bag of enzymes out in the open, on top of your desk at work, or in a place where you will easily see it, to keep you from forgetting to take them as you should.
7. Sort and divide up all of your vitamins and enzymes once a day, in different containers or small plastic bags you can take with you. It is more efficient than opening and closing all those bottles two or three times a day.
8. If you find that you have a difficult time swallowing a large number of pills at a time, or that your throat is getting irritated by the frequent swallowing of pills over a period of time, try this. Instead of using cold water to wash the pills down, try using warm water. It seems to be more relaxing to the muscles of the throat and does not cause a tightening of the esophagus the way cold water does. Try it.
9. Incorporate the use of a water-based lubricant (like KY) into your sexual activity, even if you do not think it is absolutely necessary. This will protect you from possible friction injury.
10. In the missionary position, place a pillow below her hips/pelvis to raise her up a little. This changes the angle of entry if you have a curvature problem. It can sometimes make a significant difference. If you are having a lot of sexual problems, go to http://www.peyronies-sex-education.com/sex-and-peyronies-disease.html to learn about improving your love life.
11. Go to the PDI website to learn about the Erektor external penile support device. If you have ED or erectile dysfunction because of your Peyronie’s disease, or if your curvature or distortion is so bad that you are afraid to try intercourse because it might injure your penis again if you penis bends or buckles during insertion, then you definitely need the help and support of an Erektor device. Learn more about the Erektor at www.NaturalEDSollutions.com These are wonderful custom-made supports that will open up a whole new world of sexual activity for you if you find yourself denied by the limits of Peyronie’s disease.
