The topic Corpora Cavernosa Plastic Induarion you are seeking is a synonym, or alternative name, or is closely related to the medical condition Peyronie’s Disease.

Quick Summary:

  • Peyronie’s Disease is a connective tissue disorder characterized by the growth of fibrous tissue/plaque in the soft tissues of the penis, affecting middle-aged and elderly men
  • It is an inflammatory process that occurs in the tunica albuginea, which is a thick sheath of tissue covering the corpora cavernosa. The corpora cavernosa is a pair of sponge-like tissue in the penis that help in erection
  • Peyronie’s Disease results in pain and abnormal bending of the penis, which makes it difficult for a man to have sex and maintain an erection. It usually affects the upper side of the penis, but very rarely, it may affect the lower side or both lower and upper sides too
  • The several possible causes of the condition includes trauma or injury to the penis during sexual activity, sports injury and accidents, use of anti-hypertensive drugs (calcium channel blockers), and the use of beta blocker drugs
  • Peyronie’s Disease can lead to the formation of scar tissue that can be felt under the penis and bending of the penis. The possible complications of the disorder are erectile dysfunction and an inability to perform sexual intercourse
  • A wait and watch approach may be followed by the physician, when the bending of the penis is not severe. Medications and surgery may be needed only when the condition is severe and/or worsens with time
