Peyronie's disease is a condition in which the penis becomes curved during an erection. Hard lumps or plaques, form in the fibrous erectile tissue of the penis on the underside causes it to bend downward. A physical examination is important in the evaluation. Treatment is usually surgical. However, many men with Peyronie's disease need no treatment, because in its mild form the condition heals by itself in 6–15 months. It can be difficult to get an erection because the plaques may obstruct blood flow in the penis. The anxiety caused by Peyronie's disease can also impair sexual performance and be a psychological cause of impotence.
Are there other signs or symptoms present? It would be best to have this evaluated by your doctor. Take care and regards.
