Peyronie’s Disease (PD) is a condition characterized by the buildup of scar tissue inside the penis, resulting in pain, deformity, and, in some cases, erectile dysfunction. If you are a man suffering from PD, it is normal to feel overwhelmed and frustrated.
This article aims to understand better what PD is, how it can be treated, and how men can best manage their condition. We also hope that effective treatments are available to alleviate the physical and psychological discomfort associated with PD.
Can You Feel Peyronie’s Disease?
Yes, you can feel the effects of Peyronie’s disease. Although it does not always cause pain, it can cause uncomfortable symptoms. The most common symptom of Peyronie’s disease is a hard lump or plaque on the penis.
This lump can cause the penis to bend or curve, often to the side or upwards. This curvature can be very painful and can make it difficult to engage in sexual activity.
Peyronie’s disease can also cause emotional distress due to its physical effects. Other symptoms include pain during erection, decreased sensation in the penis, and narrowing of the penis due to scar tissue. If you are experiencing these symptoms, it is important to speak with your doctor.
