I might not have PIED, but rather HFS (do you too?)

    PIED = Porn induced erectile dysfunction
    HFS = Hard flaccid syndrome

    I always thought I had PIED because:
    - Weaker erections usually
    - No morning wood
    - No random erections
    - Hard to get erection without porn + stimulation

    Today I found out about HFS after I was searching on the peyronies disease (PD) subreddit about my penis indentations that I got a week ago. This is always mentioned as early sign of PD however someone said it could be that you have HFS.

    HFS symptoms:
    - Sometimes you can feel your penis is hard while being flaccid (Yes)
    - Weaker erections (Yes)
    - No morning wood / random erections (Yes)
    - Harder to maintain erections (Yes )
    - Pain in anus or perinieum area (Yes )
    - Possible penis indentations (Yes)

    So I fit the symptoms of both actually, but the PIED symptoms are part of the HFS symptoms and some symptons I have is strictly about HFS.

    So I am now trying to find the best routine to fix HFS in hopes it fixes my issues, I will still do NoFap too. I will also keep watching my indentations and penis in general to notice if something changes because the possibility of PD is still there unfortunately.

    I have a lot of constant retractions of the muscles in the anus and that region so it is related probably to the pelvic floor. I will try several stretch workout routines and I got a good streak I will update here.

    Some notes for myself:
    - Noticed the indentation on the night of 30 April 2021
    - Identation got from side only to now a little bit on the shaft, at night of 1st May 2021
    - Also got a small red rash on the glans could be contact dermatitis because I shamefully made my own lube which was anti dandruff shampoo with water so it probably caused that skin reaction, it is still there after it happened 6 hours ago.

    I will try to update this topic once a while as a self journal.

    4 hours later, still mild pain somewhere in the right side of my groin around the scrotum, can't pin point where exactly. Also a little bit in the right abdomen.

    Still have the red patch on the glans.

    They say you'll feel plaque if you have PD and I can keep feeling everywhere but I don't know it should feel. They said it will be hard, but how hard? I feel a hard vein, is that is? Or do they mean lumps? I am so confused and scared.
