More About the condition

The reason for Peyronies is a change in the connective tissue located in the spongious tissue. These changes lead to a hardening of the tissue and a plaque may be formed. During erection, the spongious tissue is usually filled with blood causing the erection. The affected tissue, however, does not stretch during erection. It is therefore restricting swelling where the plaque located, leading to curvature discomfort.

Peyronies is probably one of the least talked About men's health problems. About 1% report it to GPs, while autopsys of men dying from natural causes indicate that up to 25% of men suffer from the condition.

Peyronies can mean that the penile shaft is at an angle (or bent) during erection. This means that intercourse can be painful for both partners or impossible and lead to great decrease in desire for intercourse. The condition itself, and the emotional stress related to the condition, can also lead to impotence.
