Peyronies pictures of the classic curved penis shown on this page are offered to widen the experience and education of anyone interested in this terrible problem. The pictures of Peyronie's disease found at the bottom of this page are graphic full male nudity, presented for educational purposes.

In the experience of PDI, most men do not understand the full consequences and eventual degree of distortion that are possible from Peyronie's disease – until it is too late. Because they do not know how bad the penile curvature, Peyronie's pain, and loss of sexual function can be, there is a tendency to underestimate the problem. Thus it is assumed that the small problem will stay “just an inconvenience, and hardly noticeable”. For some the curve or distortion starts small and stays small. However, for others it starts small and just continues to get more distorted, more curved, and perhaps more painful, eventually resulting in total loss of sexual function. At this point most men resort to surgical correction. For a discussion, click Peyronie's disease surgery.

If your Peyronie's penis is causing sexual distress, you might be interested in the in-depth and detailed discussion and loads of helpful information found in Dr. Herazy's   second book, "Peyronie's Disease and Sex."

There is a direct, safe and effective technique for manual penis stretching that has been researched and developed by PDI.  For details, click on stretching curved penis.

Without fully understanding where Peyronie's disease might take them, it is easy for some men to not take the curved penis of Peyronies too seriously. The uninformed and uneducated can accept and agree with the wishful thinking of the standard medical treatment to do absolutely nothing for PD in its early stages.

Peyronie's Pictures: an Education and Wake-Up Call

To help comprehend and verify the nature of the Peyronie's disease problem, many men are shocked to see a Peyronies picture for the first time. It can be a real wake-up call.

These Peyronies pictures are not intended to aid a layperson make a self-diagnosis, nor are they intended to guide Peyronie's disease treatment. They are offered to encourage prompt medical evaluation and attention about any problem that might be PD. Bear in mind, just as every person is a unique individual, with unique physical characteristics – this even extends to the appearance of the penis in health and disease. Simply because you have a curved penis, or even a severely bent penis with a 90 degree angle, does not necessarily mean you have Peyronies. Do not think that your penis must look like any of these. Only a physician experienced in this condition can accurately diagnose this problem.

Before viewing these Peyronie's pictures, please review what causes the dramatic penile curves and distortions you are about to see.

Peyronie’s disease can be considered an exaggeration of the wound healing process. It is characterized by the presence of one or more flat and irregular benign (non-cancerous) fibrous plaques or scars anywhere along the shaft of the penis, as well as painful erections. Usually there is only one scar, but multiple scars do occur.

These scars can stop full expansion of the penis during erection, resulting in various degrees and patterns of distortion. 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 and Related Areas.

Peyronies pictures showing the erect penis from 5°- 45° are not uncommon, sometimes 90º or more. Sexual difficulty and impotency also range from mild to severe, depending on the degree of curved penis deformity.

Pictures of Peyronie’s Disease – Curved Penis

What does Peyronie’s disease look like?  Pictures of Peyronie’s disease

Pictures of Peyronie’s disease and the classic curved penis appear at the bottom of this page.  They will educate anyone interested in this terrible problem. Peyronie’s pictures are graphic full male nudity, presented for educational purposes.

Few men ever learn about problem before developing it. Even fewer know the full details of it. Men do not understand the full consequences of PD and degree of penis curvature possible, until it is too late. Thus, there is a tendency to underestimate Peyronie’s disease. Seeing pictures of Peyronie’s disease will clarify the problem.

Without fully understanding Peyronie’s disease, it is easy enough to avoid the image of their bent penis. The uninformed quickly accept the standard medical treatment to do absolutely nothing for PD in its early stages. It is easy to do nothing. They falsely assume non-treatment means Peyronie’s disease is a minor health problem.  Consequently, they do not take Peyronie’s disease seriously enough. Unfortunately, this avoidance allows the PD to worsen.

Importance of pictures of Peyronie’s disease

Most cases of Peyronie’s disease start with a small penis curvature.  It is easy to assume a small problem will stay “just a little curve, hardly noticeable.”  For a lucky few, the distortion starts small and stays small. However, for most the curve starts small and slowly worsens, perhaps more painful, and a bigger problem in life.  For 10-20% of men with PD, the curve or distortion eventually results in total loss of sexual function. At this point, most men resort to surgical correction.  For a discussion, click Peyronie’s disease surgery.

Peyronie’s Pictures: an Education and Wake-Up Call

It is important to understand and verify the nature of the Peyronie’s disease problem.  Men are shocked to see actual pictures of Peyronie’s disease for the first time.  It can be a real wake-up call.

Do not use these Peyronie’s pictures to make a self-diagnosis. PD is more than a curved penis.  Moreover, pictures cannot guide Peyronie’s disease treatment. These pictures of Peyronie’s disease should encourage prompt medical attention about any recent penis changes that might be PD.  Bear in mind, every man is a unique individual with unique physical characteristics.  These differences even extend to the appearance of the penis in health and disease. For this reason, do not think your penis must look like any of these to qualify for Peyronie’s disease.

Sometimes a normal penis has a curve.  Not all curved penises indicate Peyronie’s disease.  Therefore, only a physician can accurately diagnose this problem.

Understand what you will see

Before viewing these pictures of Peyronie’s disease, please review what causes these dramatic penile curves and distortions.

Peyronie’s disease is an exaggeration of the wound healing process.  Thus, in PD it is common to find one or more flat benign (non-cancerous) fibrous plaques or scars anywhere along the shaft of the penis. Usually there are only one or two scars, but multiple scars do occur.

These scars stop full expansion of the penis during erection.  Consequently, various degrees and patterns of bending and distortion result. Depending on the number, size and location of scar tissue, the penis responds in different ways.As a result, the penis can be curved, distorted, shortened, twisted, and painful, or combinations of any or all of these.

Pictures of Peyronie’s disease showing the erect penis from 5°- 45° are common and sometimes 90º or more. Sexual difficulty and impotency also range from mild to severe, depending on the degree of curved penis deformity.

Sure, the bent penis of Peyronie’s disease gets your attention.  However, PD is really all about the scar below the surface. Without that scar, there is no Peyronie’s disease.  For this reason, PDI puts so much attention on knowing the size, shape, density and surface features of the PD scar.  It is far more important to know about your PD scar, than to take pictures of your curved penis.

How an Erection is Affected by Peyronie’s Disease

Peyronie’s Disease Stops Normal Erection Mechanics

Send This Page To A Friend

An erection is the stiffening or hardening with enlargement of the penis that periodically occurs upon a sexual and non-sexual stimulus. The primary purpose of an erection is sexual intercourse.  The curved penis of Peyronie’s disease occurs when this process is interrupted or impaired by the presence of the Peyronie’s plaque material.

There is a direct, safe and effective technique for manual stretching of the curved penis of Peyronie’s disease that has been researched and developed by PDI.

If your Peyronie’s penis is causing sexual distress, you might be interested in the in-depth and detailed discussion and loads of helpful information found in Dr. Herazy’s   second book, “Peyronie’s Disease and Sex.”

The complex erection mechanism can start in either the brain (a thought), the penis (a touch), or the bladder (when filled). Upon stimulation a beautifully intricate and balanced reaction of nerve messages occurs between the brain and the reproductive organs. The first thing to happen to the penis is a message is received from the brain. This message causes nitric oxide to be released from the tissue of the penis. Nitric oxide in turn causes the same cells of the penis to produce cyclic guaosine monophosphate (cGMP). This chemical, cGMP, has the ability to cause rapid relaxation of both the arteries of the penis and the smooth muscles that line the network of small interconnected spaces of the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum. This relaxation response has an expansive and enlarging effect on the penis, because it causes more blood to flow into the penis and it is “loosened up” to receive and hold the extra blood that is being shunted to it .

Going up

Blood quickly enters the network of erectile tissue spaces as this relaxation continues along the length of the penis. A small amount of blood enters the corpus spongiosum, but the majority of it engorges the corpora cavernosa which expand to hold 90% of the blood involved in an erection.

As more and more blood enters the relaxed spaces of the penis, the expanding spongy tissue presses against the firm tubular connective tissue sleeves known as the tunica albuginea and Buck’s fascia. This increased pressure in turn pushes against veins that normally let blood out of the cavernous and spongy spaces of the penis, compressing and closing their valves. Now with the veins closed off a greater and greater amount of blood is trapped in the penis. When the three penile chambers are filled with blood the penis is at its maximum length, diameter and rigidity, and is said to be erect.

The glans or head of the penis, the mushroom-like end of the corpus spongiosum that sits like a cap on the end of the penis, remains more soft and pliable during erection because its tunica albuginea is much thinner than elsewhere in the penis. This thinness of the tunica at the head of the penis does not allow it to develop the rigidity that other parts of the penis achieve. Of course this is a good design feature, since the relative softness of the glans protects the cervix of the uterus during intercourse.

Going down

After ejaculation, or upon loss of mental or physical stimulus, the brain stops sending signals to the penis to release nitrous oxide. With loss of the nerve signal and subsequent chemical release, the flow of blood is reduced, the pressure drops, the vein valves are no longer held closed and so open up to release blood, and the erection ceases. The penis returns to its normal pre-erectile size and flaccidity.

A simple balloon can give you a better idea of how an erection works: Before you blow up the balloon, the balloon wall material is very soft and flexible. Put a little air into the balloon and it begins to change shape by filling, making the balloon larger. As more and more air gets trapped inside the closed space of the balloon, it continues to become more rigid and large, until a limit is reached. After this certain limit point the previously flexible balloon material gets surprisingly tight and rigid. To keep it rigid you tie off the opening, and to reduce the rigidity you untie the opening.

Peyronie’s disease and leaky valves

PD causes a problem with the erection mechanism because the vein valves “leak” and cannot build up sufficient pressure to create a full erection, due to interference from the scar or plaque tissue in the tunica albuginea. Its as thought the scar tissue blocks the closer of the vein valves, just as a kink in a car door keeps the door from closing completely, or not at all. As improvement occurs in the size, shape and density of the PD scar as a result of successful therapy, one of the first observable changes will be in the quality of erection response.

And this is why we contend, as you will read in other parts of this website, Peyronie’s disease is all about the scar.

Peyronie's Symptoms

Peyronie's disease symptoms

Peyronie’s disease symptoms can be extremely variable.  In fact, one of the things that make these  symptoms so difficult to put together into a diagnosis or Peyronie's symptoms is the different presentation of this problem from one man to another. For this reason, Peyronie's disease treatment is difficult.  Even pictures of Peyronie’s disease that show what the condition can look like, are also variable.

This is why the Peyronie’s Disease Institute has worked for almost a decade to determine the best possible way to diagnose and treat this problem that often eludes effective care.

Because of the wide variety of Peyronie’s symptoms, Peyronies treatment can be variable when using Alternative medicine.

Peyronie’s symptoms of importance

The onset of Peyronies disease symptoms can be sudden or slow, but most often will appear in less than a month after direct injury, sometimes taking just a few days to appear when injury is found to be the cause of onset.

The severity of Peyronie's symptoms can also be variable. Some men do not even know they have the problem because their Peyronie’s symptoms are so mild, while other men experience alarming Peyronie’s symptoms that they are unavoidable and shocking.

Two most typical Peyronie’s symptoms:

Distorted or curved penis

When the penis is erect, it is very common to have the Peyronie’s symptoms of a deformity or distortion caused by the presence of internal fibrous or “scar’ tissue within the tunica albuginea of the curved penis. The penis may be:

  • Bent, or curved, upward, the most common deformity, or bent down or to one side; not often in will bend down
  • Distorted into an “hourglass” appearance, with a narrow band around the erect shaft that is complete or partial
  • Distorted into an “bottleneck” appearance, in which the base of the penis remains fairly well erect and normal for the individual, but the area above and away from the base remains small and non-erect
  • http://homeequityloanss.com
  • Distorted into a “hinge,” “dent,” “ding,” “niche” effect, in which the penis when erect has a small but distinct area of non-filling making it appear to have a small portion that remains soft and non-erect.

Any of these Peyronies symptoms of curvature or other deformity may gradually worsen during the first six to 18 months. After a certain point, which is variable from man to man, the distortion will no longer worsen.

Pain as a Peyronie’s symptom

Pain most often occurs with an erection during the first six to 18 months after onset. However, pain associated with Peyronie's disease may present itself in many ways:

  • Only during an erection
  • Only when not erect (flaccid)
  • Only during an orgasm
  • Only when the penis is touched

Some men do not have any distortion or bend of the penis, or pain, making these two common Peyronie’s symptoms not totally reliable as a way to diagnose Peyronie’s disease.

Other common Peyronie’s disease symptoms

Scar tissue under the skin surface

The scar tissue, also known as a plaque, associated with Peyronie's disease can be felt below the surface of the skin of the penis as small elevated or flat beads, lumps, bands of slightly to greatly dense and hard tissue. Some of these are smooth or rough, with even or irregular edges. Some men can easily find their Peyronies scar and with other men it is never located even by a doctor.

Less common Peyronie’s disease symptoms

  • Distortion or bending while flaccid
  • Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection (erectile dysfunction)
  • Loss of penile size by either shortening of the penis, or loss of girth or circumference, or both
