THEORY OF PEYONIES DISEASE AND CAUSES
Peyronies Disease is nothing more than scar tissue on
the Tunica Albuginea which makes it less elastic. Think
of holding your finger on the top of a balloon and trying to
blow it up. Since the top part of the balloon can't move
freely it bends upward when inflated. The more air the
greater the curvature. The same with a penis.
Most clinicians believe that PD is the result of trauma.
The word trauma is vague so it is best to delve deeper in
to types of trauma and the evidence concerning their
relationship to PD.
- One proposed theory is that men develop PD because of
the increased mechanical stress associated with buckling
that occurs while attempting sexual intercourse with a
partially erect penis. However, an article in the Journal of
Urology 1997 refuted this theory and concluded that this
partial erection theory was not supported by the evidence.
- Acute trauma to the penis is another theory as to the
cause of PD. My urologist told me that the overwhelming
majority of his PD patients do not recall a specific
traumatic occurrence, or popping sound or anything else
that would suggest an acute injury. Based on my own
experience I agree with my doctor. Did not have any
specific trauma that I recall.
- The most common theory and the one that I accept
concludes that PD is the result of repetitive microtrauma
to the penis with some type of subsequent aberrant
wound healing process and scar formation. This would
explain why the incidence of PD increases with age -
more sexual experiences and repetitive microtrauma. In
support of this theory, in the February 09, 2009, Los
Angeles Times, Dr. Tom Lue, described Peyronies as a
"wear and tear" disease.
| Do You Think Just Because A Conclusion Is In A Medical Journal It Is Based on Fact and Science? Think Again! Look At The Disparate Conclusions About The Incidence Of Peyronies Disease That Have Appeared In Medical Journals. Which Doctor Is Correct??? |
| PD is fairly rare disease, diagnosed in only 26 out of 100,000 men - prostate cancer update, Johns Hopkins University, Winter 2000 PD diagnosed in 4.6 men out of 100,000 - same article as noted above. This would make it an extremely rare medical condition. PD is a common medical condition - International Society of Sexual Medicine 2009 PD has been thought to be a rare, insignificant disorder - Journal of Andrology July/August 2009 After reviewing all the data, conclusion at end of article - PD is a common disorder A 55 year old man writes a newspaper's medical advisor with questions about his PD. "The medical advisor gets more questions about PD than about almost any other ailment." - Hearst communications 11/15/1995 PD is a much more frequent condition in the general population than previously reported - European Urology 2001 |
