Peyronie's Disease Information

My name is Ryan Ricardo, and I suffered from Peyronie's Disease. For the last 3 years I have been researching every treatment option available for this awful disease and have come up with several solutions that I want to share with everyone I can. The idea of this website is to simply tell you what I have experienced and what actually worked so you can save time and money, and pain.

The issue with this disease is that so little is known about it. Doctors will admit that they are unsure what causes Peyronie's to occur, as there is no solid evidence either way. However an astonishing 2% of all men suffer from this horrible condition, bringing the total worldwide to somewhere around 20-40 million. Most men tend to live with the disease not knowing what the problem is. It is important to get physical checkups and not be afraid to talk to your doctor about sexual issues. If you don't get checked early and regularily you could end regretting it later. Personally I will let my ego and pride go a bit to make sure I am healthy.

Peyronie's disease is a buildup of plaque inside of the penis. This buildup can lead to pain in the sufferer. The signs vary in degree a great deal. Some may find the symptoms so clear that diagnosing is no problem. Others may have such a small case that self diagnosis is impossible. The indicators are:

• You have a curve in the penis
• It may hurt when you get an erection (become hard)
• Sex is very uncomfortable and causes pain
• Your penis has gotten smaller (length or width)
• You experience erectile dysfunction

Any or all of these are possible signs of Peyronie's disease. Personally I deal with a left, AND upward curve. This made sex impossible in the past as the angle was too great to penetrate. Erections have also been highly uncomfortable in the past.

Peyronie's causes a buildup of plaque inside of the penis that causes bends or "curves". These can be in many shapes directions and sizes. The plaque can form anywhere, making it painful to urinate, have sex, masturbate or even simply become erect. This disease can get better, or worse over time. There is no ryhme or reason to how it advances or declines. Most men can suffer for years without finding treatment because they think that nothing exists.

There are a few ways Peyronie's is thought to be caused. However there is no hard evidence supporting or debunking any theories. Some of the ways you may get Peyronie's are:

• During sex, the penis is bent heavily and a great deal of pressure is put on it
• Genetics may cause you to get it hereditarily
• Blood pressure or heart medications may cause a plaque buildup
• Diabetes and Gout may encourage it

The intercourse option is the least common and will only cause plaque to form if the impact is very high.

There's a nasty trend that has been going around the internet for awhile now. If you have Peyronie's disease then chances are you have explored every avenue and way to cure it. That means doctor visit, online searches and spent countless hours doing so. That probably means you have also run into Peyronie's pills that are crowding the market.

They sound good, but are they too good to be true? The answer is: absolutely.

There is no possible way for a pill to break up the plaque in the penis. There are no herbal ingredients that can "target the plaque" and help break it down. It's by nature impossible. This is why it pays to be a smart consumer and be sure to research everything. Once you read up on them and brought the information to your doctor, he or she no doubt told you that they were sugar pill garbage.

Don't be a sucker and don't get sucked into the pill scam. Every time there is a new disease or a new problem there is a new pill that will come on to the market and claim to cure the disease. Be very weary.
