Hello I’m 19 And I Believe I Am Suffering From
Question: hello i’m 19 and i believe i am suffering from peyronie’s disease. my penis when erect seems completely normal and i never have pain but when i’m cold and when i’m flaccid most times it has a pretty noticeable hourglass shape in the middle. i feel no pain but i’m worried it will become worse with time. there is no “bend” in my penis it just remains the same yet hourglass shaped what does this mean and what are my best options. should i stop masturbating?
Brief Answer:
With normal erection, there is no possibility of Peyronies Disease
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Based on the facts that you have posted you have an hourglass shape of a penis in a flaccid state while erection is normal.
Normal erection without any pain and curvature of the penis rules out the possibility of Peyronies disease.
Peyronies disease is characterized by the presence of palpable nodule or scar in the shaft of the penis with painful erection and curvature of the penis on erection.
The hourglass shape of the penis that you noticed could be due to a band of scar tissue in the shaft of the penis
It's recommended to consult a Urologist for clinical examination and get ultrasound Scanning of the penis to confirm the same and to establish the cause for the abnormal shape of the penis.
Hope I have answered your query, please feel free to ask if you have more questions, I shall be happy to help you.
Thanks and Regards.
