See with Dr. Paulo Egydio the causes and how to treat penile curvature without surgery and other treatment methods that solve the problem
Peyronie’s Disease, also known as Acquired Penile Curvature, is one of the main reasons that make the penis bent. This anatomy caused by a scar in the tunica albuginea – the tissue covering the erection mechanism of the penis – tends to reduce the elasticity of the penile tissues and curve it to the sides, upwards, or downwards. In more severe cases, for example, the penis can form an ‘L’ due to its curvature.This condition directly affects a man’s sexual life and that of his partner. Although it normally occurs in men over 40, it is important to be aware of its causes regardless of age. The more information about its prevention, the lower the risks of acquiring it.
Studies show that Peyronie’s Disease stems from various causes. Many of them can be perceived with a self-assessment, while others will only be diagnosed with a urological examination. Visiting a urologist for a preventive evaluation is the best way to ensure your buddy’s health.
Here are some factors that can cause Peyronie’s Disease and the answer to the burning question: does Peyronie’s Disease have a cure?
Erectile Dysfunction
In most cases, Peyronie’s is linked to some erection problem, which may be associated with aging, hormonal imbalance, or other conditions that hinder blood flow within the penis.
Poor quality of erection during sexual activity predisposes the occurrence of traumas and microtraumas during penetration, causing the formation of fibrosis and deformities that can directly affect the anatomy of the penis and even aggravate existing erectile dysfunction.

Penis Traumas and Fractures
The incidence of penis traumas can cause the predisposition to the formation of penile fibrosis, as well as when the impact is stronger and fractures your buddy, causing pain and discomfort that will make you seek the nearest emergency room. This normally happens during sexual intercourse, especially when the man is in a position that does not allow him control of the situation.
Attention to movements and the use of artificial lubrication are essential for everything to go well at the moment. Situations like this are more common when there is an erection problem or lack of firmness in the penis, but can also occur when the member is perfectly erect. Therefore, caution is essential.

Congenital Penile Curvature
Unlike Acquired Penile Curvature, Congenital Curvature has a genetic origin and is usually noticed at the beginning of puberty, when the first erections occur.
Often the tortuosity does not prevent sexual relations but makes the penis more vulnerable to traumas. Therefore, care with movements and correct lubrication should be doubled.
If the penis frequently escapes, it is a sign that the curvature is hindering and increasing the possibility of traumas and fractures, which will lead to the formation of fibroses.

Diabetes and the Healing Problem
Men with diabetes should take extra care with Peyronie’s. This is because the elevation of glucose in the blood causes damage to the functioning of blood vessels, which favors the appearance of fibrosis without having suffered a trauma to the penis, in addition to hindering healing and being the main cause of erectile dysfunction.
A quality erection is directly related to the blood flow within the penis, so it’s important to control the disease so that the blood vessels and nerves that give sensitivity in the genital area remain healthy.
Prostate Surgeries and the Consequences for Men’s Health
The treatment for prostate cancer may involve surgery, radiotherapy, brachytherapy, or hormone therapy, depending on the case. However, these treatments can make a man more susceptible to acquiring Peyronie’s as they can bring consequences such as erectile dysfunction and the appearance of fibrosis in the penis.
Therefore, it is important to treat the consequences caused by prostate cancer, such as the loss of rigidity, size, and caliber of the penis, as they contribute to the emergence of penile deformities and the progressive worsening of Peyronie’s.
The Relationship Between Penile Fibrosis and Peyronie’s
You may have noticed that there is a common factor among the different causes that lead to the appearance of Peyronie’s: the formation of penile fibrosis.
Fibrosis is a plaque or nodule formed in the penis membrane that can be the result of trauma, fracture, healing problems, and blood circulation issues in the member. It is the main responsible for the difference in the elasticity of penile tissues, which will cause its curvature and bring other difficulties. Fibrosis is also followed by a thinning or decrease in size of the penis.
Therefore, when seeking a non-surgical (clinical) or surgical treatment, it is important to observe if the doctor is taking all possible problems resulting from the appearance of fibrosis into consideration before offering a solution for Peyronie’s, which may be surgical or medicamentous, depending on the case.
If you experience difficulty in sexual relations or pain during the act, consulting with a urologist for an in-person evaluation is more than necessary for further guidance to be given.
