Like most curving of the penis, Peyronie?s is also caused by scar tissue. The initial acute phase of Peyronie?s disease lasts from 6 to 20 months. During this stage as the disease progresses, plaque (scar tissue) forms within the penis and causes the penis to curve and bend in any direction or angle. This is usually accompanied by pain or discomfort during an erection. In some men, the curvature causes severe pain at erection time. It?s estimated that 1 in 20 men have Peyronie?s disease. After the initial stage, Peyronie?s develops into the chronic stage. While it sounds worse, this is when the disease stabilises and the pain usually subsides. Plaque stops forming which stops the penis from further curving.
