Consultation: Peyronie’s Disease
Peyronie’s disease affects approximately 800,000 men in the UK and although it tends to run in families, it can also be caused by damage to the penis. In this consultation taken from series one of Embarrassing Illnesses, Dr Christian Jessen refers a patient with Peyronie’s to undergo surgery to correct his curve!

Hi,i have a curvature of the penis to the left and has had this problem as long as i can remember i am married and 38yrs old even though my wife does not mind i am still kind of embarassed about it,i am in no pain and have sex ok,but just was wondering if i can get any medication to solve this problem without any surgery.Can you help?
i am 15 and mine twists about 15 degrees so the line where i pee out of its perpendicuar the the ground if that makes sense i did have a lump ages ago but it just went away?, i still am able to have sex tho but is there anything i can do, will it get worse
I think that i also have peyroines as my penis curves upwards and also find it very painful when my penis is erect and try to pull back my foreskin. I never masterbated when I was young and the head of my penis always seemed too big for my foreskin to pass over and thought that this was the reason for the curvature I find it really embarrasing to discuss with my GP so can you give me advise on what I should do
Hi i think i have Peyronies, my penis bends upward like a banana when erected. I even have some hardness of the tissues on the top part of the penis. How can i cure this without having to undergo surgery??
hi
im 13 and my penis bends to the left. when it is erect it is about six inches but bends to the left but it dont hurt. can i fix this without surgery as it is quite embarassing =(
Hi, I'm 16 and my penis is curved over to the right and upwards…..Is it normal or do i have any diseases….My penis is about 7 when i errect and its uncut..
I also have a bent to my right side of about 45 degrees and am afraid if I could be able to have a penetrative sex
Hi,I have this friend that is 33 years old,embarassed to go to ask anyone for help.
Her teeth has become real problem for her and she is embarassed to talk about and meet people…Can you help??
Hi, basicly the curvature starts at the base….as if my penis has twisted towards the left slightly, and it is like this when erect and when it isn't. I was wondering what i can do without having surgery or consulting my GP? As im 16 and feel really embarrased ??
I am 20 years old and for as long as I can remember I have had a curved penis. Kind of like a banana shape curving downwards. I am always self-concious about this and I would get embarassed when showing it to girls.
I know that there is a condtion called Peyronie's disease, but my amateur opinion is that I don't have it as I don't suffer any of the symptoms apart from the curvature itself. I went to see a GP and he was just giving the ol' reassurance speech but I would like to see a urologist at some point and get a better examination…
