Peyronie’s Disease- Hourglass

Transcript

As common as it is for guys to experience penile tethering and curvature with their penis with Peyronie’s disease, one thing that a small subset of guys will also experience is hourglassing. And this is something that you should definitely tell your physician if you are experiencing. What it is is, it is what it sounds like, where you have narrowing of your penis. There’s a portion of it that just narrows off. Guys could potentially experience hinging of the penis at that part where, because there’s not good blood flow there, that area is very loose, especially during intercourse. Secondly, you can have erectile dysfunction distal to that area because you’re not getting good blood flow after that area. These are things that could potentially worsen and make your Peyronie’s disease more severe. And as a result of that, it’s one of those things if you are noticing that when you see your physician in consultation, you should definitely bring it up and let them know that you’re having an hourglassing.
