Confirmed PD but I have a couple of question for those with more experience / better eyesight!

TLDR, which angle is the one I should measure for monitoring?

Hello! My GP says I have PD as he can feel something knobbly (plaques?) in the curved area bottom left (as you look down at it) at around 30-35 degrees. He says as someone who is 56 who also has Duyputren's in my hands and mild Garrod's pads on my finger and toe knuckles, I'm in a slightly more at risk group.

I had painful erections for a few months a couple of years ago, then my penis went from straight to curving to the left and twisting clockwise gradually. Full erection as you can see went from pointing a little up to drooping - I guess the poor guy is tired.

I'm extremely thankful that it's mild. It doesn't cause me any problems, apart from the fact that erections are far fewer and aren't as hard any more and they're impossible to keep unless I have active stimulation.

My question to you experienced people is this - the GP told me to just keep an eye on the angle and if it starts getting worse to go back and see him.

What's the best place to measure though? Is it the direct from the pubic bone angle? Or the curve created by the slight indentation? As I said I'm lucky I don't have like a pinch point or hinge as far as I can see, but it's made me a little confused as to where to measure.

Thanks!
