Peyronie’s disease?

---

This is weird posting on a forum but i feel that i cant talk about it with anyone else that i have to meet face to face and ask questions. I think i have Peyronie’s disease and im very young. I have a downward bend and ive noticed my erection size has decreased an inch or so. its been this was for like 2.5 years now the bend is less now but still prominent. please anyone else have this problem? anyone know what i can do? im very short in hight, and im not very strong, my penis size was my last resort and now it lost an inch. please help me!

Welcome to AfraidToAsk, J.West. Have you seen a doctor and had it properly diagnosed? That's important, because not every bend is Peyronie's. A gentle bend is normal. Is it painful to straighten it? Losing an inch is suggestive of Peyronie's, I have to admit.

It's not easy to treat. The Wikipedia article strongly suggests you need to see someone with a lot of experience with it.

Other than the bend of your penis, are you experiencing any other symptoms: painful erection, any obvious scar tissue or lumps, difficulty maintaining an erection?As guys, we all want to be sure that there is nothing wrong with our equiptment. Maybe we worry about it too much. It's not abnormal to have some minor curvature (up, down, or sideways). If, however, that curvature is severe (like 90 degrees) you should consult a urologist. Less of an erection happens to all of us (who can get an erection) from time to time. It just depends on our level of horniness. As far as I know, though, it is not a symptom of Peyronie's.If the only symptom you have is the slight curvature, I think you can relax. I doubt it's anything to be concerned about.

This is making me very depressed. I lied on my profile, i am actually 17 so i am afraid to ask my doctor or my parents for a doctors appoint as i am not currently sexually active. I can barely straiten it back to how it should be and it is pretty much a 90 degree curve. i can feel the "plague" on the top and bottom. now i am really depressed.edit: will this prevent my penis from growing as i myself grow more into an adult? (i havnt fully hit my growth spurt)

With Peyronies, i think the curvature is pretty sharp. If your curvature is more like the arc of 1/4 of a circle (you said 90 degrees), then I doubt it is Peyronies.

i did a drawing in paint, thank you all so much for your help it is really making me feel better to get it out:[img]http://uglystik.housch.com/prewp/lib/mi.JPG[/img] edit: any lumps were due to my unsteady hand in paint.

Yeah, that's not Peyronie’s, just natural curvature. Some are straight, some curve up, down, left or right... Nothing abnormal.

are you sure? i felt the grooves many sites mentioned? could you may draw how it would look if i did have it then? like curved down not up? sorry if that is a weird request, i just need to know how differnt it would look as i can only find things on upward bends. btw that you all so much again, this is really a VERY welcome environment and a GREAT idea for a site.

Yeah, I can't help you much more than this..but I'm pretty sure it's not Peyronies based on the picture you drew.Here is pic of Peyronie's .

Natural curvature can be up or down or to the left or right. The same is true of Peyronie's, so the direction means nothing. Peyronie's usually creates a sharp kink in the penis, not the gradual gentle bend you have drawn.It is possible the grooves you are feeling, if they are longitudinal, are the natural edges of the tubes of erectile tissue in the penis. There are three tubes, two on top and one underneath.
