Patient's question:
My penis is always very long and hard, which brings me some inconvenience, especially when I have a strong urge to urinate. The penis becomes erect, and it can be seen through the pants, making me feel very embarrassed and uncomfortable. The doctor said it is called penile curvature. What is penile curvature?Doctor's answer:
Penile plaques, also known as Peyronie's disease, refer to the fibrosis and inflammation of the tunica albuginea of the penis, causing one or multiple plaques or nodules to reappear on the dorsal or lateral side of the penis. The causes are usually related to chronic inflammatory damage, inflammation, and hereditary factors. It is essential to identify the specific cause as soon as possible so that targeted treatment can be administered. If this penile plaque condition is not properly addressed, it can not only affect normal sexual function but also lead to infertility.
