Peyronie's Disease causes the penis to curve due to scar tissue. This can lead to discomfort, bending, and emotional stress. If you're looking for relief or products to support intimacy, visit our DOXXES store on North Freeway / Little York for caring and discreet support.
What Is Peyronie’s Disease?
Peyronie’s Disease happens when firm scar tissue (called plaques) builds up under the skin of the penis. This causes it to bend or curve, especially during an erection. Pain and lumps may also appear.
Types of plaque:
- Superficial: Just under the skin
- Deep: Involving deeper tissue and erection muscles
- Provoked: Only causes symptoms during stimulation or touch
Why Does It Happen?
Emotional causes may include:
- High levels of stress or anxiety
- Past sexual trauma or painful experiences
- Relationship challenges or lack of connection
Physical causes include:
- Injury or infection in the penis
- Low testosterone or hormone changes
- Weak pelvic muscles
- Natural body differences
Most people experience a mix of both emotional and physical triggers.
Examples and How to Identify Triggers
Real-life examples:
- Pain begins after rough or sudden sex
- A partner feels nervous to try again
- Discomfort starts after changing a medication
- Curving gets worse when sleeping in a new position
How to find patterns:
- Write down symptoms, pain levels, and sexual activity
- Compare good and bad days to spot triggers
- Try using extra lube and gentler angles
Who Is Affected and Why It Matters
Peyronie’s Disease affects men, especially those over 40. It can lower self-esteem, affect mood, and reduce sexual confidence.
Partners can also feel guilt, confusion, or fear. These emotions may lead to distance or stress in relationships. Talking openly helps both people feel supported.
How a Sex Therapist Can Help
A therapist can guide you through the emotional impact of this condition. They may:
- Talk through sexual history and physical concerns
- Screen for stress, sadness, or anxiety
- Help partners communicate and support each other
Treatment and Coping Options
Emotional support:
- Individual or couples counseling helps reduce shame, fear, or miscommunication
Medical options:
- Injections like collagenase can soften scar tissue
- Oral medications may reduce pain or improve blood flow
Devices:
