A Healthy Sex Life

What is Peyronie's Disease?

Peyronie's Disease is a condition that affects the erectile bodies of the penis. It is caused by the buildup of excess collagen (also called plaque), which makes the penile tissue less elastic. This can lead to painful erections, penile curvature, constrictions, and erectile dysfunction. The disease is quite common, with up to ten percent of men being affected. As men get older, the risk of developing this condition increases slightly.

Men who have undergone radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer are at a higher risk, with reports as high as 20 percent. Trauma to the penis is also a common cause of Peyronie's Disease. It can occur during sexual intercourse, leading to scar tissue formation and decreased penile elasticity. Additionally, genetics may play a role in Peyronie's Disease. Family members with this disease or other fibrotic tissue disorders may increase one's risk. Certain medications such as beta-blockers, anti-seizure medication, and some supplements have been reported to cause PD. Serving patients at our office in Mountain View Peyronie's Disease Treatment is delivered with optimal results.

“I strongly encourage anyone with Peyronies or ED to visit Dr. Karpman. He is a highly experienced and qualified physician who has changed my life!”

“I'm a 62 year old man suffering from Peyronies Disease, specifically, I had a 70 degree complex curve, making intercourse impossible. I was devastated and hopeless.

“I had a consultation with Dr. Karpman in September of 2023. He explained that he could perform a procedure that would require an excision and grafting and installation of an implant. He explained that he had a lot of experience performing this particular procedure, which made me very comfortable, and I really appreciated his confidence that I would one day be able to have sex again. Surgery was scheduled for October.

“Three months later, and I am straight as an arrow. I have gained length and girth, and most importantly I am having the best sex of my life!!" - Jim F.

Finding a hard lump on the penis can cause a lot of worry about cancer. However, Peyronie's plaques are actually harmless lesions that only affect sexual function. Dr. Karpman can help alleviate concerns and suggest treatment options after evaluating the severity of the penile deformity. To help with this assessment, it's recommended that you bring photos of the affected area taken from the best angle to your appointment.
