Patient's question:
Yesterday, when I had sex with my wife, I suddenly found it very difficult to have intercourse with her. I felt very embarrassed at the time, and every morning when I got an erection, it would hurt. When I went to the toilet, I noticed red spots on my glans, and externally there were many blisters, redness, and swelling. The doctor said it was penile plaques, and I wonder if penile plaques need to be treated?Doctor's answer:
Penile curvature syndrome is basically considered to be related to changes in the fibrosis of the corpora cavernosa. People with this condition can correct it through the supplementation of collagen. It is also associated with chronic bacterial infections and inflammatory stimuli. From a clinical diagnostic perspective, it can lead to poor erectile function during sexual activity and multiple changes in curvature. The primary treatment is drug-based antifibrosis. If the drug treatment is ineffective, surgery may be necessary. If there are no symptoms, careful observation can be performed.
