Do You Suffer from Penis Curvature (Peyronie's Disease)?

This is something that most men don't talk about and rarely brag about with their friends.  It's called Penile Curvature, or Peyronie's Disease, and is defined as an abnormal bend or curve in the penile shaft that generally occurs during an erection.  The cause of penis curvature can be traced back to hardened or calcified tissues in the penis which causes a restriction and prevents the penis from fully expanding during erection.  It is at this point of restriction where the "curve" in the penis will be experienced. 

The good news is that it can't physically harm you.  The bad news is that it can really put a damper on your sex life, and rather quickly that.  Penis studies have revealed that almost 3 percent of the total male population is afflicted with penis curvature, or Peyronie’s Disease. This disease usually happens between the ages of 45 and 60.  But don't breathe too easy "Grasshopper" because it has been known to affect young men as early as 18 years of age.

Penis Curvature - What to Look for?

Beyond the obvious left or right curve in your penis, there are a set of traditional symptoms that generally show up with this problem.  They are:

• A thick band of hard tissue within the penis
• A rather painful erection that can make intercourse difficult, and even impossible
• A noticeable narrowing of your penis diameter when erection

If this sounds like the problem you are experiencing, please visit your urologist to confirm the diagnosis.

What is the Cause of Peyronie's Disease?

Unfortunately, the specific cause of penile curvature is not known at this time.  However, many researchers believe that the plaque of Peyronie's Disease develops following trauma, including bending or striking the organ, or from vigorous sexual activity that causes localized bleeding inside the penis. Other researchers believe that its roots can be traced back to diabetes, circulatory disorders, or a genetic link.

Is There a Treatment?

Some males with Peyronie's Disease really do not need any kind of treatment at all.  The good news for these men is that the disease can clear up on its own.  Don't get too excited though because the self-correction process can take several years.  Other men, however, do need treatment to correct the problem.

A number of drug treatments do exist for those men suffering from Peyronie’s Disease.   These may include a natural remedy such as a Vitamin E or B-complex treatment.  There are other, more serious, treatments that involve steroid and calcium channel blockers injections, and radiation therapy.  These more radical treatments are primarily to reduce pain where discomfort is an issue. The most well known treatment for the disease however, involves surgery.

But action is generally called for with penis curvature problems because ignoring the problem can compound your problem.  This condition is typically progressive and can eventually lead to impotence or inability to have intercourse.

Can a Penis Traction Device Help This Problem?

If you are looking for an alternative approach that doesn't involve surgery or strong drugs, a penis traction device may be advised.  A traction device may correct a curvature problem before it becomes even more serious.  This is where a product provided by one of our partners, the Sizegenetics system, can help you.  SizeGenetics is a ground-breaking system based on a combination approach that consists of traction, pills, and exercise program.  Though the system is used for penis enlargement, it is also effective for the correction of penile deviations or curvatures.

How it works is that the penis traction device, which is the foundation of the system, will "train" or exercise the penis cells naturally and increase their elasticity.  This action results in a straightening or elimination of the penis curvature.  Bottom line: the constant, permanent stretch to the penis' cells will strengthen the penile tissues and reduce the likelihood of scarring.  This scarring is what leads to the development of Peyronie’s Disease.

The key is to take action now before the condition becomes a more serious problem.  If you allow it to go too far, it will begin to effect your sex life in a dramatic way, and for most men, that is an intolerable situation.   You need to take penis curvature, or Peyronie's Disease, very seriously.  So, why take the risk of not being able to perform sexually?  Check out the SizeGenetics website before it's too late!
