Erectile Dysfunction & Peyronie's Disease Treatments

How to Spot and Treat Peyronie’s Disease with reVIBE MD Clinic

Peyronie’s disease is an acquired penile curvature due to scar tissue in the penile shaft. It can lead to pain and discomfort in the penis, may complicate sexual intercourse and decrease the quality of erections, and can cause stress and anxiety for both affected men and their sexual partners.

Here, we will identify the most common symptoms of Peyronie’s disease, which can help you determine if this is something you may be struggling with.

Common Symptoms of Peyronie’s Disease

Scar Tissue

The most common symptom of Peyronie’s disease is the scar tissue that forms underneath the skin of the penis. This is referred to as plaque, and it appears in the form of flat lumps or bumps on the skin. This scarring limits the blood flow, which can cause penile curvature or shortening, pain, and even erectile dysfunction.

Penile Curvature and Shortening

Peyronie’s disease can cause physical changes to your penis. One of these includes a significant bend in the penis, causing it to curve upward, downward, or even bend to the side. While a curved penis can be normal, you will notice that it causes pain or interferes with sexual activity if it is a result of Peyronie’s disease. Additionally, Peyronie’s disease may cause your penis to become shorter as a result. If remain untreated, it is possible for these symptoms to gradually worsen over time.

Penile Pain and Deformity

Another common sign of Peyronie’s disease is the significant amount of penile pain it causes. This pain can occur with or without an erection, causing much discomfort for affected men. It can also lead to several penile deformities, including narrowing or indentation of the shaft.

Erection Problems

Lastly, Peyronie’s disease can lead to several erection problems, including erectile dysfunction. It makes it difficult for affected men to maintain, or let alone achieve, an erection. This causes sexual intercourse to be extremely difficult or even impossible. Consequently, men with Peyronie’s disease often suffer from stress or anxiety over their sexual abilities or appearance of their penis, which in extreme cases can even lead to depression.
