...A Bent Penis Disease...
 Yesterday I had a chance to behold the teleconference about Peyronie's disease. I think it was interesting and wanted to share with you all. Peyronie's (pa-ro-NEEZ) disease causes an uncommon sexual dysfunction that results from a bent penis during erection. The disease is characterized by a hard, fibrous layer of scar tissue (plaque) that usually develops under the skin on the upper or lower side of the penis. When the penis is erect, the scar tissue pulls the affected area off at an angle, causing a curved penis.

Signs and symptoms
The signs and symptoms of Peyronie's disease may appear overnight or develop more slowly. These may include:***Painful erection ***A bend or curve in your penis during erection ***Inflammation under the skin of your penis that develops into hardened scar tissue ***A thick band of hard tissue on one or more sides of your penis ***Narrowing of the diameter of your penis during erection ***Impaired ability to obtain an erection (erectile dysfunction) CausesMany researchers believe the plaque of Peyronie's disease develops following trauma (hitting or bending) that causes localized bleeding inside the penis. Some researchers theorize that Peyronie's disease may be an autoimmune disorder.Treatment
If Peyronie's disease doesn't improve without treatment, your doctor may suggest a nonsurgical treatment: Commonly prescribed oral treatments, such as Vitamin E and potassium aminobenzoate (Potaba), are probably ineffective.
