  • To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all. ― Donald Rumsfeld while serving as US Secretary of Defense

HEALTH: PEYRONIE'S DISEASE (CURVATURE OF THE PENIS)


Say what? Seriously? The things you find on the internet. *hand over eyes*. And we thought only women had issues. Truth be told though, men - and the women in their lives - need to be aware.

What is the curvature nonsense? Basically, when the penis is erect it takes a significantly curved shape and causes sexual intercourse to be difficult and occasionally painful.

Although the cause is unclear, a likely cause of Peyronie's disease (PD), which is more common in men over 40 years, is due to injury to the penis (hitting or bending) that causes bleeding in the penis. PD could also result from inherited genes or side effects of certain medication.

(Some) good news though: PD can resolve on its own 5%-19% of the time. Surgery and medication are also options if the situation doesn't disappear. But of course, there is no guarantee of normal penal function after treatment.

So please, treat junior with care, and seek medical attention if you notice any unusual shapes.
