GlossaryPeyronie's disease

condition causing curved, painful erections due to penile scar tissue

Peyronie's disease, also known as Induratio penis plastica (IPP), is a condition characterized by the development of fibrous scar tissue inside the penis, leading to curved, painful erections. This can result in difficulties with sexual intercourse and may be associated with erectile dysfunction. The exact cause is not well understood, but it is believed to involve trauma or injury to the penis, possibly combined with genetic factors.
