Bent Member Diagnosis: Assessing Peyronie’s Disease
by John Dugan OwnerThere’s a case that can be made that some
men are too obsessed with their manhood, but even if that is so, is it any
wonder? Advertisements and many other forms of media bombard our culture
constantly with images and stories which emphasize the importance of physical
perfection, creating pressure to conform to that ideal. And although it is not
always explicitly stated, there is an implication that perfection must include
the member. So how does that make a guy feel who, even if he is very adherent
to male organ care routines,
still finds himself with what might be perceived as an imperfection – such as a
severely bent member? If a little attractive curving has morphed into an actual
bent member, he may be suffering from Peyronie’s disease and should see a
doctor for an assessment and diagnosis.
About
Peyronie’s disease
Although
a guy with a bent member may seek a diagnosis strictly because he is worried
about the physical appearance of his mighty member, there’s a legitimate male
organ health reason to be concerned as well. Often when a member is severely
curved, it can make penetrative sensual activity difficult and/or painful. And
often having an everyday tumescence can itself become painful.
Peyronie’s
disease is named after the doctor who first described it in the medical
literature and is actually fairly common; some studies estimate that it affects
about 10% of men. It is a connective tissue disorder involving the growth of
plaque in the member. When this plaque gets too big, it prevents the male organ
skin from stretching as fully as it needs to during the tumescence process.
This results in the manhood bending at the point of plaque deposit.
In
general, the plaque is thought to develop due to trauma to the member. The
healing process involves the development of the plaque, similar to the way scar
tissue develops on a wound. The trauma may be a severe one-time occurrence,
such as the manhood being hit by a line-drive ball in baseball, or it may be
due to repetitive injuries over time.
Assessment
A
urologist can use a number of methods to assess and diagnose Peyronie’s
disease. In order to properly assess, the member must be tumescent and so a
patient is generally given a tablet intended to treat tumescence dysfunction to
produce the desired firm state. The doctor may then obtain a physical measurement
of the degree of curvature. However, some smartphone apps create a picture of
the tumescent member as it appears when sensually stimulated rather than
created through medication. Some doctors may also use 3D photo imagery to
assess the degree of curvature.
In
order to get a more accurate picture of the degree of plaque causing the issue,
a doctor may utilize ultrasound techniques, which can also give a picture of
male organ vesicular health. An MRI can assess inflammation.
Most
urologists tend to favor a physical measurement, but the other options are
available if further information is necessary to determine the extent of the
Peyronie’s.
Treatment
Based
on the assessment, doctors may recommend various options for treatment,
including oral medication, injections, electric current treatment or
surgery.
A
bent member from Peyronie’s may heal better if the overall health of the member
is good. One way to help maintain that health is via daily application of a
first class male organ health crème (health professionals
recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin).
The better crèmes will contain L-carnitine, a neuroprotective ingredient that
helps restore lost sensitivity, which can sometimes accompany Peyronie’s
disease. It also is advisable to choose a crème with alpha lipoic acid, a
potent antioxidant that improves manhood skin health by battling oxidative
stress.
