This sounds like a chordee and if indeed it is a new downward curvature, there may also be a component of Peyronie’s. Usually, this type of deformity requires surgical correction although there have been some recent reports of success with downward curvature using external traction therapy with

Dr. Mulhall answers: In a recent study conducted by Dr. John Mulhall, more than 50% of men with Peyronie’s disease had moderate to severe depression. This is supported by information collected in the APDA poll. Thus, your feelings are not uncommon. We recommend that you see a
Read more →The straightforward answer to this question is “yes.” That is because it may be that the initial injury which occurred one year ago, may have not actually triggered the Peyronie’s, but a subsequent silent injury may have finally set the stage to activate the abnormal scarring process.
Read more →It does appear that you now likely have stable Peyronie’s disease, and at this point, evaluation by a Peyronie’s expert would be in order. During this evaluation, complete evaluation would be necessary, as well as inducing an erection in the office, so as to visualize the deformity.
Read more →Dr. Levine answers: It is likely that the slight curvature that you see is a natural curve seen in many men. In fact, a curvature of less than 30 degrees in any direction is considered within the normal range, as it is not likely to interfere with
Read more →Dr. Levine answers: It is unlikely that Peyronie’s disease has any direct effect upon ejaculation or upon your urinary flow. Premature ejaculation is a relatively common problem in adult men and should be addressed by your urologist. There are some unapproved medical therapies using SSRIs as well
Read more →Men have reported an early episode of Peyronie’s disease which resolves only to be followed anywhere from months to years later by a full blown expression of PD. Clearly further evaluation will be necessary with examination and possibly ultrasound. Should you not have any significant deformity and
Read more →Dr. Levine answers: Peyronie’s disease is frequently associated with erectile dysfunction. Most of the time it will be a generalized reduction in rigidity, but sometimes it can be associated with what is known as “distal softening.” This can involve the area beyond scar or just the glans.
Read more →Dr. Levine answers: It is unlikely that the condom itself could trigger PD, but if during sexual activity there was trauma to the penis this is the more likely cause. Hourglass deformity is not typically an early onset type of deformity associated with Peyronie’s disease. Usually there
Read more →It is generally believed that PD becomes stable somewhere between 12-18 months after its onset. Many patients in my practice stabilize within the first 6 months but rare patients continue to have pain for up to 2 years. It is not likely that the penile pain being
