Patient's question:
During sexual activity, my wife noticed hard plaques on my penis, but I didn't feel anything. The plaques themselves weren't painful, but after I got erect, I felt very uncomfortable and experienced pain. The erection also bent in the opposite direction of the lump. The next day, I quickly went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with penile plaques. I still haven't had children yet.Doctor's answer:
The etiology of penile plaquescleisis is mainly related to infection and trauma. The main symptom is the proliferation of connective tissue in the penis, with one or more hard plaques and cords on the dorsal side of the penis. When the penis is erect, it bends upward or to the left or right, and there is a slight sense of pain. If the bending is significant, it affects sexual life.Suggestions:
Clinical symptoms and signs: During erection, the penis bends and causes pain. The erection at the distal end of the plaque is not firm, and severe deformity affects intercourse. When the penis is flaccid, there is no pain.
Examination: The penile body can be palpated for fibrous plaques or cord-like hard lumps of varying sizes limited to the tunica albuginea of the corpus cavernosum, without tenderness. The plaques often occur in the distal part of the penile body. In some patients, multiple plaques can be palpated. Severe cases may show X
