Penile Curvature

Peyronie’s Disease, or penile curvature, is a bend in the penis that occurs during an erection. Peyronie’s is named after Francois de la Peyronie, who was surgeon to Louis XIV of France, and the first man to describe the condition.

A Peyronie’s Disease patient suffers hardened or calcified tissues in his penis causing restriction and preventing the penis from expanding during erection. This causes a curvature at the point of restriction. Although it is not life-threatening, it can kill your sex life.

Almost 3% of the male population suffer from Peyronie’s Disease. It usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 60, although it can also affect men as young as 18.

Symptoms include a painful erection, which makes intercourse difficult or impossible; a noticeable bend or arc in the erect penis; a significant narrowing of the diameter of the erect penis; and a thick band of hard tissue within the penis.

The cause of penile curvature is unknown but researchers believe Peyronie’s Disease develops following trauma or vigorous sexual activity that causes bleeding inside the penis. Others have attributed it to diabetes, circulatory disorders or a genetic link.

Some men with Peyronie’s Disease do not need any treatment and the condition often clears up on its own. But others are not so lucky and will require treatment.

Sufferers can be treated with drugs, including a vitamin E or B-complex treatment, steroid and calcium channel blocker injections and radiation therapy. The most common treatment is surgery.

If you notice a small bend in your erect penis you should seek medical advice before it gets worse. The condition is progressive and can cause impotence.

This is where the SizeGenetics system can help you. SizeGenetics is an innovative method based on a combination of using a traction device and an exercise program (primarily for penis enlargement). It can also be used for the correction of penile curvatures.

With the traction method, the penis cells are triggered to be trained or exercised naturally, which increases their elasticity, resulting in a reduced or eliminated curvature. This means that the constant, permanent stretch to the cells of your penis will strengthen the penile tissues and reduce the likelihood of scarring.
