What Are The Symptoms Of Peyronie Disease?
My penis curves up and to the left it is more or less like the shape of a banana. I don't think it is payronie's because I have no pain, no hard spot, and it has always been that way. But I have avoided sex for fear and embarasement. I am 30 years old and in excelent shape phisically. From what I have read a curved penis is very common and nothing to worry about but I dont know where the line is between "don't worry" and "it's too much you need treatment". Can I send a photo? Please Please Please help!

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
1. Peyronies disease is a condition where there is deposition of calcific plaques in the soft tissue of penis causing sustained erection which is painful.
2. It forms as a result of scar which occurs after trauma and sometimes the exact cause is not known.
3. The symptoms of Peyronies disease are acute curvature of penis even when there is no erection.
4. There can be narrowing and shortening of the penis.
5. Pain during erection and sexual intercourse and erectile dysfunction is felt.
6. You can send pictures of your penis in erect and flaccid state to know if your curvature is normal during erection or it is always curved to a particular position.
7. Doing an ultrasound scan is recommended to see for any calcification in penis if there is suspicion of Peyronies disease. It is likely that you are normal. Please do not worry.
