Don't neglect Peyronies disease
Peyronies disease afflicts 10 percent of adult men usually in the 45 to 60
age group. A curvature of the penis, especially visible
during the erect state and often accompanied by pain,
could be the first warning sign. The bend can appear
in the upper or bottom section of the penile shaft.
Other signs include a lump on the shaft of the penis
and length loss. While the pain tends to resolve over
time, the deformities tend to remain.
Injury to the penis
Recent research indicates that Peyronies disease is
caused by injury due to bending of the penis during
a sexual act. The injury heals abnormally and it causes
scars.
Unfortunately, most men are too embarrassed to go
to a doctor when they discover the first symptoms of
Peyronies disease. This lapse could prove to be costly
as Peyronies disease
can have severe consequences on the patient's sexual
health.
Hits sexual relationship
Many patients are unable to sustain normal sexual relationships
because of the pain associated with this condition or
their failure to sustain rigid erection.
Almost 90 per cent of patients of this physically and
psychologically devastating disorder also have to contend
with associated diminished erectile capacity.
Consequently, Peyronies disease is now considered an
erectile dysfunction.
Impotence associated with Peyronies disease can have
physiological, psychological and mixed causes. The main
physiological cause consists of the inability to trap
blood in the penis. This leads to the failure to maintain
an erection and to impotence. Another important physiological
factor is pain.
The psychological causes are even more complex. Many
patients are so embarrassed about their condition, that
they become afraid of intimacy and sex. Anxiety and
stress can also cause ED and eventually impotence.
Treatment options
A qualified urologist is your best bet for treatment
of Peyronies disease. As for impotence associated with
the disorder, you can bank on Viagra and Cialis.
These anti-impotence pills have revolutionized impotence
treatment and have helped millions of impotent men regain
their sex drive.
