Peyronnie's Disease symptoms

Posted By R. on February 03, 1999 at 18:45:49:







I am a 41 yr. old male who has been diagnosed with Peyronnie's Disease which causes a curve or
twist in the penis accompanied by several hard pea-sized lumps.  The curve isn't too difficult to
deal with but I am noticing more discomfort (and less pleasure) during sex as this condition persists.
My urologist is reluctant to perform surgery due to possible nerve damage (from less pleasure to NO
pleasure!)  Does anyone know of a successful treatment for this condition?  The symptoms began about
three years ago and have gotten a little worse since then.  My penis has always curved downward but
now it also has acquired a rather strange curve.  I haven't been able to find much info on this topic
so any facts will be greatly appreciated!
