Patient's question:
Hello, regarding the so-called lump in penile curvature, is it palpable when the penis is flaccid or only when it is fully erect? Or can the lump be felt whether the penis is flaccid or erect?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Penile plaques, also known as penile fibrosclerotic cavernositis, is an inflammation of the penile tunica albuginea of unknown cause, leading to the replacement of local elastic connective tissue with hyalinized changes or fibrotic scars, resulting in recurrent nodules. Penile plaques are characterized by one or several cord-like nodules palpable on the back of the penis, whether erect or flaccid. In daily life, it is important to maintain a good mood. A positive attitude is very helpful for the recovery of the disease.
