Peyronie Disease

When Peyronie's disease appears, the urologist is the right specialist to evaluate it. It involves the formation of fibrous tissue, in the form of a plaque, inside the penis, which can cause a curvature during erection.

What it is: this hardened tissue changes the shape of the organ and, in some cases, is accompanied by discomfort; its degree varies from person to person.

Signs worth checking: a noticeable curvature during erection, a palpable hardened area, pain, or changes in sexual function.

Since it is a topic that sometimes causes discomfort to discuss, it is worth remembering that the angiologist can get involved when the circulatory aspect is being evaluated. Discussing these changes with a professional, without delay or hesitation, makes it possible to study the case with confidence and guide follow-up.
