List of 10 Peyronie's disease Symptoms
Note that Peyronie's disease symptoms usually refers to various medical symptoms known to a patient, but the phrase Peyronie's disease signs may often refer to those signs that are only noticable by a doctor.
Cases of Peyronie's disease range from mild to severe. Symptoms may develop slowly or appear overnight. In severe cases, the hardened plaque reduces flexibility, causing pain and forcing the penis to bend or arc during erection. In many cases, the pain decreases over time, but the bend in the penis may remain a problem, making sexual intercourse difficult. The sexual problems that result can disrupt a couple's physical and emotional relationship and lead to lowered self-esteem in the man. In a small percentage of patients with the milder form of the disease, inflammation may resolve without causing significant pain or permanent bending. (Source: excerpt from Peyronie's Disease: NIDDK)
