Peyronie's Disease | Highst Urology Clinic Gangnam Seoul
At Highst Urology, we understand how Peyronie’s disease can affect sexual function, confidence, relationships, and overall quality of life. Our experienced urologists provide accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans to help patients manage symptoms safely and effectively.
Peyronie’s Disease is a condition in which scar tissue develops inside the penis, causing curvature, pain, or difficulty with sexual activity. With proper evaluation and treatment, many patients can improve comfort, function, and confidence.
What is Peyronie’s Disease?
Peyronie’s Disease occurs when fibrous scar tissue, also called plaque, forms under the skin of the penis. This plaque can cause the penis to bend or curve during an erection.
In some cases, Peyronie’s disease may also cause pain, erectile dysfunction, or difficulty with sexual intercourse. At Highst Urology, we focus on identifying the severity of the condition and creating a treatment plan tailored to each patient’s symptoms and goals.
Symptoms of Peyronie’s Disease
The most common symptoms of Peyronie’s disease include:
•
Penile Curvature
A noticeable bend or curve during erection.
•
Painful Erections
Pain or discomfort may occur during erections, especially in the early stage.
•
Scar Tissue or Plaque
A firm area or lump may be felt under the skin of the penis.
•
Erectile Dysfunction
Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection may occur with Peyronie’s disease.
•
Shortening or Narrowing of the Penis
Some patients may notice changes in penile length, shape, or firmness.
•
Difficulty with Sexual Intercourse
Curvature or discomfort may make sexual activity difficult or painful.
If these symptoms continue, a professional urological evaluation is recommended to determine the severity and appropriate treatment options.
Causes of Peyronie’s Disease
Several factors may contribute to Peyronie’s disease.
•
Penile Injury or Microtrauma
Repeated minor injury during sexual activity or physical trauma may lead to scar tissue formation.
•
Abnormal Wound Healing
Some patients may develop excessive scar tissue after injury or inflammation.
•
Genetic Factors
A family history of scar tissue disorders may increase the risk.
•
Aging
Changes in tissue elasticity and healing response may make Peyronie’s disease more likely with age.
•
Erectile Dysfunction
Difficulty maintaining firm erections may increase the risk of bending or injury during intercourse.
•
Connective Tissue Conditions
Certain conditions affecting scar tissue or connective tissue may be associated with Peyronie’s disease.
