Do I have Peyronie's Disease?
by Celo__0, Feb 15, 1999 12:00AM
I am currently 30 years of age. Usually, I masturbate on the average
about three times a week. Just recently, I noticed that my penis
has been feeling looser than normal. For example, whenever I become
aroused, my penis immediately bends completely to the left. I am still
able to masturbate but I am no longer able to have an erection
that lies in a vertical position unless I manually move it. Can you advise
me as to whether I have PD, and if so does it cure itself by time?

Dear Ceelo
Thanks for your questions.
As you can imagine it is very difficult for us to make a diagnosis over the internet without examining you. The cause of Peyronie's disease is unknown.
You will require a doctor’s visit ( Urologist). A Polaroid picture of the penis in the erect state with help with diagnosis. PD resolves in up to 50%. Surgical correction is not recommended unless you or your partner have pain or you are unable to have erections. Medications and injections have minimal success. Please use the site search function and key-in Peyronie’s disease for answers for others with similar questions.
More individualized care is available at the Henry Ford Hospital and its urban campuses by calling (1 800 653 6568). We can also arrange local accommodations through this number if this is your need. Please bring any physicians’ notes and lab test results that you may be able to obtain. These will help us greatly.
