Penile
Curvature
Penile Curvature
or Peyronie's
Disease is an
abnormal bend in
the penis that
occurs during
erection.
A man
with Peyronie’s
Disease has
hardened or
calcified
tissues in his
penis causing
restriction and
preventing the
penis from
expanding during
an erection.
This results in
a curvature at
that point of
restriction.
Though it cannot
physically kill
you, it can
actually kill
your sex life
rather
effectively.
Nearly 3 percent
of the entire
male population
is estimated to
be afflicted
with Peyronie’s
Disease. It
usually occurs
between the ages
of 45 and 60,
though it can
also occur in
men as young as
18.
Symptoms of the
disease include:
• Painful
erection making
intercourse
difficult or
impossible
• Noticeable
bend or arc in
the penis with
erection
• Noticeable
narrowing of the
diameter of the
penis with
erection
• Thick band of
hard tissue
within the penis
The exact cause
of penile
curvature is
unknown but many
researchers
believe that the
plaque of
Peyronie's
Disease develops
following trauma
(hitting or
bending) or
vigorous sexual
activity that
causes localized
bleeding inside
the penis.
Others trace it
to diabetes,
circulatory
disorders, or a
genetic link.
Many men with
Peyronie's
Disease do not
need any
treatment. The disease sometimes clears up by itself, although it may take several years. Other men, however, do need treatment.
There are several drug treatments for those suffering from Peyronie’s Disease like Vitamin E or B-complex treatment, steroid and calcium channel blockers injections, and radiation therapy but these are mainly for the reduction of pain. The most well known treatment for the disease however, involves surgery.
So if you notice a slight bend or arc or in your penis during erection, you should immediately take action before it gets worse. The condition is typically progressive and leads to impotence or inability to have intercourse.
This is where the exercises of Penis-Health and the
traction device of Sizegenetics can help.
With the traction method, which is the foundation of the system, the penis cells are triggered to be trained or exercised naturally increasing their elasticity thus resulting in reduced or eliminated curvature. This simply means that the constant, permanent stretch to the cells of your penis will strengthen the penile tissues thus reducing the likelihood of scarring resulting to Peyronie’s Disease.
