I have recently developed Peyronie's Disease. It is not contagious but it is a severe bending of the penis. Causes are unknown but are thought to include penis trauma including catheritization. Since I have done soundings, CBT including penis bondage and needle play, I am concerned that there is a new risk out there of which we, or at lest I, have been unaware.

Any dommes or subs out there aware of this condition?

Some Information

This caught my attention so I googled it. I referred to a medical site - The Mayo Clinic. I decided to copy/paste and not because I do not think anyone is capable of finding this information themselves, more-so because not everyone has the time to do so. In the moment information...Immediate gratification...what we allow society to constantly market to us. Here is some information to start chewing on. It's good to know your risks in play!

Peyronie's disease


Definition:

Peyronie's (pa-ro-NEEZ) disease causes a bent penis during

erection. A hard, fibrous layer of scar tissue (plaque) 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. The plaque, formed by

thickened layers of soft tissue in the penis is noncancerous

(benign). The condition can cause pain and make sexual

intercourse difficult.

Sometimes Peyronie's disease improves without treatment, so

your doctor may initially recommend a wait-and-see approach.

Treatments of Peyronie's disease involve nonsurgical and

surgical approaches.

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
* A thick band of hard tissue on one or more sides of your

penis
* Indentation, or an "hourglass-shaped" penis during erection
* Impaired ability to obtain an erection (erectile dysfunction,

or ED)
* Shrinking or shortening of your penis

Scar tissue that develops on the top of the penis will cause the

penis to bend upward. Plaque on the underside of your penis

will cause it to bend downward. Sometimes scar tissue occurs

on both sides of the penis, causing an indentation or

"bottleneck."

In many cases, pain caused by Peyronie's disease may

decrease after a short period of time. However, the curvature

may persist even if the pain subsides. In some men with a

milder form of the disease, inflammation may improve without

causing a lot of pain or permanent bending.

Causes:

Doctors and researchers don't completely understand what

causes Peyronie's disease. A number of theories exist,

including:

* Injury to the penis. Trauma to the penis may cause small

tears in the tissue, and small blood vessels in the penis can

rupture and bleed internally. Penile injuries can be caused by

vigorous sexual intercourse or an accident. Abnormal healing

can result in the development of hard, thickened scar tissue

(plaque) under the skin of the penis. With repetitive trauma, the

plaque may develop tough fibrous tissue (fibrosis) or calcium

deposits (calcification) and result in the deformity.
* Autoimmune disorder. Some studies suggest that

Peyronie's disease may be an autoimmune disorder. A man's

immune system may respond abnormally and cause plaque to

form in the penis. However, Peyronie's disease isn't related to

other autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis or

lupus.
* Inherited collagen abnormality. Peyronie's disease may be

caused by an inherited abnormality in the genes that regulate

the growth fibrous connective tissue proteins (collagen).
* Medications. Some drugs may cause Peyronie's disease

as a possible side effect. Most of these drugs belong to a

class of blood pressure and heart medications called beta

blockers. These drugs are also used to treat glaucoma,

multiple sclerosis and seizures. Developing Peyronie's disease

as a side effect of these drugs is rare. Check with your doctor

before stopping or changing any prescribed drug.

Although injury to the penis may explain sudden (acute) cases

of Peyronie's disease, cases that develop slowly or disappear

quickly with no apparent trauma to the penis remain

unexplained.

Risk factors:


Peyronie's disease is a relatively uncommon disorder. The

following factors may increase your risk:

* Age. Aging may diminish penile elasticity, increasing the

chance of injury and the development of Peyronie's disease.

Although it sometimes affects younger and older men,

Peyronie's disease occurs most often in men ages 45 to 60.
* Heredity. Inherited traits may play a part in determining who

gets the disorder — you are more likely to develop Peyronie's

disease if you have a close relative with the disorder.
* Other conditions involving hardened tissues. About one in

three men with Peyronie's disease develops hardened tissues

in other areas of the body, such as the hands or the feet. A

condition known as Dupuytren's contracture — a cord-like

thickening across the palm that causes the fingers to pull

inward — is common in men with Peyronie's disease.

When to seek medical advice:

See your doctor if you're unable to have intercourse without

bothersome pain or difficulty due to a bend or curve in your

penis during erection. Treatment for Peyronie's disease often

consists of methods that will help you remain sexually active.

Early education about the disease and its course can help you

manage its symptoms effectively.

Tests and diagnosis:


Doctors can usually diagnose Peyronie's disease with a

physical examination. Hard plaque can be felt in your penis with

or without an erection. It may be necessary to inject medication

into your penis to induce an erection for proper evaluation. In

some cases, ultrasound of the penis is used to help diagnose

Peyronie's disease.

Complications:

Peyronie's disease can make intercourse painful, difficult or

even impossible. Emotional distress can put a strain on your

marriage or relationship and make attempts at sexual activity

with your partner stressful and frustrating.

Treatments and drugs:


Because the course of Peyronie's disease differs from man to

man and some men experience improvement without

treatment, doctors often initially recommend a wait-and-see

approach. Your doctor may suggest monitoring the progression

of the disease for nine to 12 months by assessing plaque

formation, penile curvature and erectile function before

attempting treatment. Some treatments — nonsurgical and

surgical — can increase a man's risk of ED.

Oral medications
If Peyronie's disease doesn't improve on its own, your doctor

may suggest trying an oral medication. This treatment appears

to be effective only for the first 12 to 18 months when plaque is

still forming. Oral treatments for Peyronie's include:

* Colchicine. This medication inhibits growth of collagen and

may improve symptoms of Peyronie's disease. However,

common side effects include digestive problems and diarrhea.
* Potassium aminobenzoate (Potaba). Taken orally, this

prescription medication may help treat Peyronie's disease.

However, like vitamin E, more research is needed to determine

the medication's effectiveness. The medication is expensive,

requiring taking up to 24 tablets daily, and side effects include

digestive problems.
* Vitamin E. Researchers have reported that vitamin E may

improve Peyronie's disease when taken orally, although more

controlled studies are needed to verify the effectiveness of

vitamin E therapy. Talk to your doctor before taking vitamin E,

as it may not be safe in high doses.

Intralesional injections
Your doctor can inject drugs such as collagenase, calcium

channel blockers (such as verapamil) or interferons directly into

the plaque in your penis. These drugs are intended to break

down scar tissue deposits and return the tissue-building

process to normal. You'll receive multiple injections over a

period of months. The success of intralesional injections

varies, and more studies are needed to find out which

treatments are most effective.

Surgery
If other methods of treatment don't help and your penis is still

curved or bent when erect, surgery may be an option. Doctors

usually suggest surgery when unacceptable appearance, pain

during intercourse and poor erection quality persist for at least

a year. Surgery is generally effective at restoring normal

erections, although each surgical method can cause

unwelcome side effects such as partial loss of erection or

shortening of an erect penis.

Common surgical methods include:


* Nesbit plication. Tissue on the unaffected side of the penis

is shortened, canceling the bending effect. This type of surgery

can shorten the penis. It is generally used in men who have

adequate penis length and a curve of less than 45 degrees.
* Plaque incision with saphenous vein graft. Several linear

cuts are made in the plaque, which allows straightening. The cut

plaque is then covered with a grafted vein. This procedure is

generally used in men who have a shorter penis, a curve of

more than 45 degrees or an hourglass-shaped deformity.
* Penile prosthesis. An implanted device is used to

straighten and increase the rigidity of the penis. This type of

surgery is for men who have trouble maintaining an erection

(erectile dysfunction).

Prevention:


There's no known prevention for Peyronie's disease. It's

possible that the problem may begin with trauma to the penis

from being hit or bent abnormally when erect or during sexual

intercourse. Avoiding injury to your penis when erect may

prevent the development of Peyronie's disease. However,

trauma to the penis doesn't explain all cases of the disorder.

Coping and support:


Peyronie's disease can become a source of mental and

emotional stress for you and your partner. Having the disease

shouldn't be seen as a reflection of your health, virility or

masculinity. If you have Peyronie's disease that has

progressed to include erectile dysfunction, remember that your

partner may see your inability to have intercourse as a sign of

diminished sexual desire. Your reassurance that this isn't the

case can help your relationship.

To effectively manage and treat Peyronie's disease, try to

communicate openly and honestly with your partner about your

condition. Counseling can help you cope with concerns you

have about Peyronie's disease and to learn how to deal with

your feelings.
