Patient's question:
Zhang, a colleague at the company, resigned. The colleagues at the company rumored that he had an embarrassing illness, but his medical records were seen by others. Zhang felt that everyone was pointing fingers at him and couldn't stand it anymore, so he resigned. I asked around and found out that he had a condition called penile plaques. What kind of illness is this?Doctor's answer:
Penile plaques, also known as corpora cavernosa fibrosis, can cause pain after erection in the early stages and affect sexual quality of life. Early-stage penile plaques are relatively simple to treat, often involving antibiotic treatment and measures to prevent penile fibrosis. Late-stage penile plaques are more difficult to treat, usually requiring hospital examinations and surgical intervention.
