Peyronie’s disease is a disorder in which the penis bends or curves due to plaque, or lumps, that form inside the penis. Depending on where the plaque is located, the penis can bend in a variety of ways. In some cases, plaques develop on both the top and bottom of the shaft causing the penis to become “dented” and shortened.
Peyronie’s is the formation of scar tissue, or plaque, in the erectile tissue of the penis that causes painful, curved erections. Men can only get Peyronie’s through trauma or injury, though Brad Figler, MD, an assistant professor of urology at the UNC School of Medicine, says most men don’t report either.
