Pictures of
Peyronies Disease found at the bottom of this essay are graphic male nudity
– they are
presented for educational purposes to anyone interested in
understanding
this disease. They are not intended to assist in
making a diagnosis of PD, nor are these pictures a
substitute for medical examination and review. They are offered to encourage you to seek prompt medical
attention and to secure a doctor’s opinion about your problem.
Hopefully, after viewing these pictures you will feel perhaps
relieved you are not so bad off if you find a penis that is
bent greater than yours. For more information,
Progression of Peyronie’s Disease.
Understandably, in the early stages of PD men are very worried
about small – and sometimes large – changes in their penis.
They often use the Internet for information about their
concerns, and want to see a Peyronies picture for comparison
or just to see how bad the curve can become.
Before looking at the pictures of Peyronie’s disease, let's
briefly discuss the mechanism causing the penile
distortions at the bottom of this page.
Peyronie’s disease has been called an exaggeration of the
wound healing process, during which
one or more flat and irregular non-cancerous
plaques or fibrous scars develop under the skin along the
penile shaft. Not only do these scars frequently cause pain during erection,
but depending on the number, size and location of scar
tissue, the penis can be slightly to severely distorted or
shortened during erection or not at all. For more information,
Anatomy of the Penis.

Imagine a balloon with a small piece of tape on it. If the
balloon is inflated the tape will prevent full expansion, and
it will be distorted. PD causes a similar mechanism of
distortion in the penis. The normal penis expands and
elongates evenly resulting in a straight erection. But in
Peyronie's disease, normal elastic tissue is replaced by
rather hard plaque tissue that is not elastic. When a man with
Peyronie's has an erection the plaque does not expand, thus
the curve or twist.
Cases of PD range from mild to severe; some are so mild as to
be detected only on autopsy, while others are so severe that
surgery is necessary to reduce painful distortion. The scar
may range from a few millimeters or may encompass the entire
shaft of the penis. Pain, hardened scar formation and/or
distortion may develop slowly or appear overnight in PD.
Angulation of the erect penis from 5°- 45° is not uncommon,
and can be greater; deformities can advance beyond 90º and are
described as “J”, “cane handle” and “corkscrew”. Distortion or
angulation of the non-erect penis is rare. In a small
percentage of cases with a milder form of the disease,
inflammation may resolve without causing significant pain or
permanent bending. Sexual difficulty and impotency also range
from mild to severe, depending on the degree of deformity.
In some extreme cases the scar may create a bottle-neck,
collar-like, or hourglass-like distortion of the erect penis.
The scar tissue may cause the penis to be limp or soft beyond
the location of the nodule, leading to inability to have
sexual intercourse. At the extreme, an erect penis may be so
distorted (“J” or “corkscrew”) making intercourse impossible
or at least extremely painful for both partners.
