Peyronie’s Disease is a common and treatable condition that affects men’s sexual health.
What is Peyronie’s Disease?
Peyronie’s Disease is an inflammatory condition that causes scar tissue, known as plaques, to form inside the penis. This scar tissue disrupts the normal structure of the penis, resulting in a significant bend, curvature, or indentations during an erection.
Though some men may naturally have a curved penis, Peyronie’s disease causes a more pronounced curvature that can lead to pain, discomfort, and difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection. In some cases, the condition may also cause the penis to shorten.
Peyronie’s Disease is most common in men aged 40 to 70, although younger men can experience it as well. The good news is that Peyronie’s Disease is treatable, and most men can experience improved function and sexual satisfaction with the right treatment.
Symptoms of Peyronie’s Disease
The main symptom of Peyronie’s Disease is the formation of flat scar tissue (plaques) under the skin of the penis. These plaques can cause the penis to curve, bend, or become misshapen when erect.
Other common symptoms include:
- Curvature of the penis during an erection
- Pain during erection or sexual intercourse
- Indentation or “hourglass” shape of the penis (known as “waisting”)
- Shortening of the penis
- Inability to maintain an erection during sex
- Difficulty penetrating during intercourse
- Lesions or lumps under the skin of the penis shaft
In some cases, the condition can have an emotional impact, causing anxiety, frustration, or reduced self-esteem. It’s important to seek treatment early to prevent the condition from worsening.
In most cases, Peyronie’s Disease can be treated, and sexual function can be restored. Book a consultation to discuss your treatment options.
Living with Peyronie’s Disease doesn’t have to affect your intimacy.
The Causes of Peyronie’s Disease
The exact cause of Peyronie’s Disease is not completely understood, but it is generally believed to result from repeated trauma or injury to the penis. This injury can occur during sexual activity, athletic activity, or accidents, but often, men cannot pinpoint a specific cause.
The trauma causes scar tissue to form in the penis, which leads to the abnormal curvature. In some cases, Peyronie’s Disease develops gradually without any clear injury.
Peyronie’s Disease is not linked to sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and it is not contagious. However, some men may develop the condition more easily due to genetic factors or other health conditions, including diabetes or high blood pressure.
Other potential contributing factors include:
- Repeated injury or trauma to the penis
- Genetic predisposition or family history of Peyronie’s Disease
- High levels of serotonin in the body
- Vitamin E deficiency
- Certain medications, such as beta-blockers
- Inflammatory diseases or disorders
