The condition can cause pain, discomfort, and difficulty with sexual intercourse. The exact cause of Peyronie’s disease is unknown, but it is believed to be related to trauma or injury to the penis.

Symptoms of Peyronie’s disease may include

Curvature or bending of the penis during an erection

Pain or discomfort during an erection

Shortening of the penis

Erectile dysfunction
