Hello- No it is not congenial. Peyronie's Disease is characterized by an extreme curving of the erect penis caused by a hard, fibrous layer of scar tissue that has developed under the skin. When the penis grows and hardens, the scar tissue pulls the affected area to an angle, causing an unnatural bend. The plaque that is formed by the thickened layers of penile soft tissue is non-cancerous, but this condition can be painful and make sexual intercourse quite difficult. There are a number of factors that can cause Peyronie's Disease. An injury to the penis caused by vigorous masturbation from a long time or aggressive sexual intercourse or from an accident may cause small tears in the tissue and ruptured blood vessels that bleed internally. Peyronie's disease can be completely cured and reversed by the help of Ayurveda treatment, and it does not have any kind of recurrence too. Many potent herbs in Ayurveda contain natural growth factors and phyto-molecules that are known to stimulate penile tissue repair and the rejuvenation process.
