A Simple Guide to Peyronie’s Disease, (Updated 2023) Diagnosis, Treatment and Related Conditions

By Kenneth Kee

This book describes Peyronie’s Disease, Diagnosis and Treatment and Related Diseases

Peyronie’s disease is a penile condition
Where fibrous scar tissue causes painful erection
This scar tissue called plague run the length of the penis
It causes pain while erecting during coitus

Peyronie’s disease can result from a genetic or inherited condition
Some causes may be due to the effect of medication
The main cause is injury or trauma to the penial gland
This can cause bleeding and scarring in men

The disease happens mostly in middle-aged men,
When the penis soft and not erect, there is no pain
Peyronie’s disease of the penis result in poor erection
Diagnosis is feeling the hardened tissue during physical examination

A biopsy of hardened tissue may be needed for confirmation
Most Peyronie’s cases are mild and do not need correction
Surgery with penis prosthesis implantation has the best result
Entering the vagina and satisfying the partner leaves no doubt

-An original poem by Kenneth Kee

Peyronie's disease (crooked painful penis) is the development of fibrous scar tissue called plaque inside the penis that causes curved, painful erections.

The scar tissue forms along the length of the penis in the corpora cavernosa.

This plaque (scar) is not noticeable and depending on the severity of the disorder, the plaque can induce the penis to curve making sexual intercourse difficult and infrequently painful.

The plaque of Peyronie's disease is believed to develop after trauma (hitting or bending) that produces localized bleeding inside the penis.

The damage or trauma may not be evident from the outside of the penis.

Some cases may be genetically linked or inherited, passed on from parents to children through genes.

Peyronie's disease could be produced by a combination of both factors.

In addition a number of medicines list Peyronie's disease as a possible side effect.

However, the chance of developing Peyronie's disease from any of these drugs is very low and there is no absolute evidence that PD is related to taking these drugs.

When the penis is soft, the penile curve cannot be observed.

But in severe cases the hardened plaque which is benign reduces flexibility causing pain and forcing the penis to bend or arc during erection.

In most cases, the pain decreases over time but the bend in the penis can remain a problem.

The doctor can palpate the hardened tissue inside the penis caused by the Peyronie's disease.

Mild cases of Peyronie's disease seldom necessitate treatment.

Also, the pain linked with Peyronie's disease happens only with an erection and is normally mild.

If sexual intercourse is acceptable then no treatment may be required.

Possible treatments for Peyronie's disease are surgery and medical treatment.

Some studies have shown that vitamin E and B10 improves PD.

Both of these vitamins may reduce or limit the growth of the scar tissue formation.

Medicines may be injected directly into the penis to reduce the bend:
Collagenase
Verapamil
Interferon alfa

Radiation therapy can only alleviate the pain linked with PD but is seldom used.

The most common surgeries used to treat PD are:
Removal of the plaque followed by placement of a tissue patch.
Removal or altering the tissue from the side of the penis opposite the plaque, which counters the disease's bending effect.

Another surgery for Peyronie's disease is penile prosthesis implantation

Peyronie’s Disease is a self-limiting disorder in a small percentage of men.

Introduction

I have been writing medical articles for my blog: http://kennethkee.blogspot.com (A Simple Guide to Medical Disorder) for the benefit of my patients since 2007.

My purpose in writing these simple guides was for the health education of my patients.

Health Education was also my dissertation for my Ph.D (Healthcare Administration).

I then wrote an autobiography account of my journey as a medical student to family doctor on my other blog: http://afamilydoctorstale.blogspot.com.

This autobiography account A Family Doctor’s Tale was combined with my early A Simple Guide to Medical Disorders into a new Wordpress Blog A Family Doctor’s Tale on http://kenkee481.wordpress.com.

From which many free articles from the blog was taken and put together into 800 eBooks.

Some people have complained that the simple guides are too simple.

For their information they are made simple in order to educate the patients.

The later books go into more details of medical disorders.

The first chapter is always from my earlier blogs which unfortunately tends to have typos and spelling mistakes.

Since 2013, I have tried to improve my spelling and writing.

As I tried to bring the patient the latest information about a disorder or illness by reading the latest journals both online and offline, I find that I am learning more and improving on my own medical knowledge in diagnosis and treatment for my patients.

My diagnosis and treatment capability has improved tremendously from my continued education.

Just by writing all these simple guides I find that I have learned a lot from your reviews (good or bad), criticism and advice.

I am sorry for the repetitions in these simple guides as the second chapters onwards have new information as compared to my first chapter taken from my blog.

I also find repetition definitely help me and maybe some readers to remember the facts in the books more easily.

I apologize if these repetitions are irritating to some readers.
