Peyronie's disease and penile growth Posted: 07-18-08 13:10pm
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.
