What Is Peyronie's Disease?
Also known as penile curvature, Peyronie's disease is a form of erectile dysfunction. Peyronie's disease is characterized by the formation of hardened scar tissue beneath the skin of the penis that may lead to curvature and pain during erection.

Causes
While the causes of Peyronie’s disease are still being researched, it is generally believed to be caused by injury to the penis.

Symptoms
Not every Peyronie's disease sufferer experiences the same symptoms, but in general, symptoms may include:
  • A change in shape of the penis during erection, such as curvature, indentation or shortening
  • Reduced flexibility in the penis that causes pain and forces it to bend or arc during erection
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Painful intercourse for either partner
  • Painful erection
