What is Peyronie's disease?
Peyronie's disease is a condition affecting appearance and often works penis, especially during erection. The result of creating a scar in the penis, which usually occurred as a result of injury, causes the condition of the penis to curl when erected. It is associated with pain during sexual intercourse, orgasm or erectile dysfunction. There are several ways to solve Peyronie's disease and restore appearance and function.
Although there is always no identification factor for Peyronie's disease, some seem to be more susceptible than others to this condition. The disease is common in families and some other diseases that can more easily lead to damage to connective tissue, can increase the risk of formation of the scar in the penis. Even without these risk factors, people can develop this disease if they suffer from penis injuries.
The injury may not be serious, but must cause sufficient damage to start the tissue. Thus, this tissue causes the penis to shorten only on one side, resulting in a curvature. DegreeThe curves usually depend on the amount of scarring.
The symptoms of Peyronie's disease may vary. The scarring can cause the penis to look shorter. The curve is most recorded during the erection and the appearance depends on where the scarring occurred. This appearance usually occurs suddenly. Some men have a natural curve when they are erected, but the disease is different because there is a perceptible change in the appearance of the erection.
Other symptoms of Peyronie's disease may include painful orgasm or inability to maintain erection. These are not small symptoms. In particular, erectile dysfunction can be problematic because it can disrupt sexual trust. Together, both features can have a strong impact on the intimacy of relationships.
When this condition is suspected, the bridge will see a urologist for treatment. The urologist may feel for the scar under the skin and explore the erect penis to determine the degree of curvature. Treatment may be requiredOnly if people find a condition, it disrupts sex life or if Peyronie's disease is painful.
The most common therapeutic approaches are surgical, where the scars can be removed to support more comfortable erections and a straight look. Another approach is to work on the side of the penis, which is not affected by scars and shortening when straightening the whole penis. Some men feel questioned by a proposed procedure that would shorten the length of the penis, so it is not always the first choice. Less used treatment include injection of enzymes or other substances that can be able to disappear scarring.
It should be noted that Peyronie's disease does not occur until 18-24 months after the start of illness. The disease proceeds up to two years after First shows symptoms. There is no point in functioning if the disease still creates a curvature, because surgery would not correct the problem. People with this disease are usually examined by a urologist several times to evaluate the optimal time for surgical correction.
