The underlying cause of Peyronie's disease is thought to be trauma or injury to the penis usually through sexual activity. Without treatment, about 12-13% of patients will spontaneously improve over time. I highly recommend that you see your doctor or urologist for further evaluation and management.
Peyronie's disease is a connective tissue disorder involving the growth of fibrous plaques in the soft tissue of the penis. The disease may cause pain, hardened, cord-like lesions, or abnormal curvature of the penis when erect. The effects of this bend are far less noticeable when the penis is in a flaccid state. In addition, narrowing and or shortening of the penis may occur. Pain often resolves in twelve to eighteen months and make sexual intercourse painful and difficult.
