If you notice that your erection has started to curve little up,

little down, maybe to the side, and you don't know why, and if

sexual activity is becoming a little difficult, maybe a little

bit painful, or something you're starting to avoid because of it.

And if you looked at it and maybe something's wrong, but I

don't know what to call it, this video is for you. What you are

likely experiencing has a name. It's called Peyronie's disease.

It is more common than almost any man realizes it is not

permanent and it is not your fault sometimes.

This podcast is for you, the Modern Man. I'm Dr Anne Truong,

your host. I'm an intimate health medical doctor and best

selling author of the book, Erectile Dysfunction Fix. I'll

do a deep dive into sexual health and performance and how

it affects men of all ages and backgrounds. So let's get

started, and be sure to visit my website at

sexualhealthformenpodcast.com for more information and

resources from the show. See you on the inside.

So now I'm going to explain exactly what Peyronie's disease

is, how it happened, why it lead to ED, and specifically how the

penis pump, used correctly, can be of help for the curvature. So

stay with me. This is the conversation most men never get

to have, and they need to.

So let me start with Peyronie's disease. What is it at the

tissue level? So inside the penis there is a layer. So think

of the penis muscle, and you have two on both sides that's

the corpus cavernosum, a wrap around the corpus cavernosum, is

a layer called the tunica albuginea. And think of it as an

outer sleeve of the penis muscle. Think of it like a

sausage, and you have the wrapping around the sausage, is

what contain the blood inside the muscle during an erection,

and it gives the penis the shape and the structure. So in a

healthy penis, the tunica albuginea is the elastic. It

stretches evenly on both sides as it fills with blood. And

during an erection, it create a straight, firm result. So

Peyronie's disease happens when scar tissue develop inside the

tunica albuginea. So think of it like a scar tissue that gets

developed on that wrapping, and it developed the scar tissue and

then called a plaque. And scar tissue does not stretch. So when

the rest of the tunica albuginea. stretches during an

erection, the side with the scar tissue or the plaque stays

rigid. So that means that the penis bend towards the scar like

a balloon that have the patch of tape on one side, the elastic

side expands, the tape side doesn't, and the whole thing

curve. Does that make sense?

So how common is Peyronie's disease? So Peyronie's disease

affects somewhere between six to 13% of men. Many researchers

believe the actual number is probably higher because men are

probably not talking about it or going to the doctor about it too

much. It's such a personal problem. In my clinic, I see it

constantly. Men would have this for years and quietly stop

having sex, and no one talk about it at all, and almost

every single one of them said the same thing. When I finally

name it, they thought, "Well, I wasn't the only one. Thank God,

it's not something weird. I don't have cancer." So you're

not the only one. So what's happening in your body has an

explanation and a treatment pathway, and it has an

explanation and a treatment path. Men always asked me, Dr

Anne, how did this happen? The other answer is, is one of three

ways.

One, acute trauma. It's a sudden injury to an erect penis during

sexual activity or maybe we even a fall, or maybe in an accident

that causes like little tears in the tunica albuginea. So the

body responds to this tear like as with any wound, it starts to

put scar tissue into it, and because of that, it forms a

rigid, inflexible scar.

Number two, repeated micro trauma. Many men with Peyronie's

disease cannot identify a single injury. That's because the

plaque can form years before the injury, maybe a little

aggressive sex, and most of the time, this happened in a cowboy

position, where the woman's on top or bending during an

erection or repeated friction, each one creating a tiny

inflammatory response that makes the body deposit more scar

tissue over time. Number three, this is something you may not

know, the connection that nobody talked about, and it's

critically important when a man has untreated ED, the penis

muscle is not receiving regular blood flow, so without blood

flow, the corpus cavernosum or the penis muscle along the side

here, begin to atrophy or shrink and stiffen. So as the tissue

become less elastic, scar tissue start to form within it. This is

why ED and Peyronie's are often found together. ED doesn't just

coexist with Peyronie's. In many cases, untreated ED is what

create the condition for Peyronie's to develop. There's

also a genetic component, so men with a condition called

dupuytren's contracture, where you have scar tissue that

happened on the fourth finger here, like a big scar tissue

that make your finger bend like this, that's called dupuytren's.

Well, if you have dupuytren's, you're more at risk to getting

Peyronie's as well, too. And age plays a big role. Testosterone

decline reduces the elasticity of the corpus cavernosum and

lower estrogen in men often coincide with lower testosterone

also affect the collagen quality. So the tunica

albuginea, or the wrapping, becomes less forgiving, so more

susceptible to scarring with each passing decade,

particularly after the age of 40.

So the scar forms in two phases. The first phase is acute phase,

where it's forming, it's hot, it's tenders, inflamed. This is

when you have pain with intercourse. Phase two is more

chronic. This is like 12 months plus, right where inflammation

has resolved. The plaque has become calcified, and is

stabilized and the curve is fixed. So this does not mean

it's untreatable. It just means that the curve is fixed at this

point.

Where can you get the penis pump? You can get the penis pump

at ED No More.com or check the link down below this video to

get the penis pump so you can start exercising your penis

again. Remember, you are only one pump away.

So what does it mean if Peyronie's is left untreated?

Well, the plaque become calcified and hardened and

become effectively permanent if you don't have clinical

intervention. So the curvature can worsen over months or over

years, making penetration very, very difficult. And pain

sometimes during erection, which sometimes are more common in the

acute phase, and ED worsen alongside with Peyronie's,

because the scar tissue restrict blood flow to the corpus

cavernosum, or the penis muscle. And then there's the

psychological impact, right? The shame, the avoidance,

embarrassment and then the depression. And men who wait

often find their options have narrow and that your only option

is really surgery. So you have two choices. You can have the

injection, where they dissolve the collagen, or surgery. But

let's talk about something that you can do without the injection

that if you're starting to notice maybe low curvature, that

you can do on your own. And that's called the penis pump,

the vacuum erection pump. The vacuum erection pump, or penis

pump, used as a medical rehab device, not a sex toy. It's one

of the most accessible and consistently supported tools for

managing Peyronie's disease, but it's good when you start early.

You don't want to wait until years of having curvature and

trying to use the penis pump, because anything over 25 degrees

are going to be very hard to use the penis pump for. Let me

explain why it works at the tissue level. Remember when I

said the plaque develop because of the micro tears causing the

curvature? The collagen has one vulnerability. It respond to

sustained, gentle mechanical tension. Think of it like a

leather shoe, stiff when it comes out of the box. But if you

But I want to be clear about something, though. So the pump

wear it every day, become flexible. You stretch it and

is not an overnight fix. Scar tissue does not dissolve in the

week. But it does remodel with consistent work, all right? But

soften, it can form. It become more pliable. This is what

if your curvature is more than 30 degrees, you probably need to

go a urologist and maybe consider having surgery. Pump

consistent pumping does to the penile plaque. Every time you

should be less than probably 25 degrees at this time. The main

thing, guys is that you're starting to see some curvature,

use the pump, you create a negative pressure that draw

even just a little bit. Use the pump. Use it consistently. You

blood into the penile tissue, and it stretches the corpus

may even reverse it. You don't want it to get it worse and

worse. So it's not magic. This is the biology responding to the

cavernosum, including the area where the scar tissue was

right input. Just think of it like that. I want you to know

that if you are having a more severe curvature, that's more

formed. This daily stretch put gentle, sustained traction on

than 30, then you probably need to look at getting surgically

corrected. But there is an option, if you're less than

the plaque. And over weeks and months, this mechanical traction

that, you're starting to see some curvature, or anything. You

start early, you're going to get more result with. So just know

signal to the scar tissue to soften and to remodel and become

that you can reverse it and that you can even, like, bring in

less organized, less restricted. The result the pull towards the

more blood flow to it. And if you have an ED, this will also

help with the erection.

So the bottom line is, the penis pump is a medical device. It's
