Peyronie's disease

Peyronie’s disease is a condition in which scar tissue forms inside the penis, causing it to bend or curve abnormally during an erection. 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.
