What are the symptoms of Peyronie’s disease?

Symptoms of Peyronie’s disease can be mild or severe. It is also worth noting that the symptoms may develop gradually or may even appear overnight. Plaque due to this disease may be associated with bending or curvature of penis. And this bending is often associated with pain. In severe cases of Peyronie’s disease, this curvature and pain can lead to incomplete erection and/or impotence. The following are the symptoms of Peyronie’s disease:

  1. Deformed penis: The penis looks bent or deformed during erection. The angle of deformity or the bent depends upon the scar’s or plaque’s location.

  2. Pain: There might be mild or severe pain during erection and orgasm.

  3. Scar under the skin: The scar tissue can be felt under the skin of the penis

  4. Shortening of penis: It often leads to shortening of penis.

Men who have this disease often feel stress and depression because their self esteem is affected. In some cases, such a shape and curvature of penis can affect the sex life of the person. It may also affect the emotional relationship. It is therefore important to seek medical advice when such symptoms come into notice. Only after diagnosis the method of treatment can be decided.
