Q: Peyronie's disease and penile growth
asked by: DoctorQuestion on July 18th, 2008
Doctor Question
I am a 14 year old who is wondering whether or not I have peyronie's disease. I want to know how to tell whether or not my penis curvature is natural or the result of this. Here are some of my statistics which may help.
- while flaccid my penis is 3.75 in long and 1.5 in wide
- while erect my penis is 5.5 in long and 1.75 in wide
- it feels like there is a knee join on the right side of my penis, i can bend it up,down. or left but there is resistance on the right side
-The curvature is not a recent development
- it is not extreme; slight, but definitely noticeable in light
- I feel this is going to make sex a little awkward
- I need to turn a bit right to urinate correctly
-lately my erections are harder to achieve and are not as hard although my penis does grow to full size

Peyronie’s disease is typical for men above 40. The disease may cause pain, hardened, cord-like lesions (scar tissue known as "plaques"), or abnormal curvature of the penis when erect. In addition, narrowing and or shortening of the penis may occur.


I doubt that you have any penile disorder including Peyronie’s disease. You are still young and your penis will grow more.


You may want to consult a urologist for an expert opinion.
