Do I have Peyronie's disease?
Peyronie's Question
Hi, I have quite a curved penis and am worried that I have Peyronie's, however I am embarrassed to see someone in person about it.
Would it be possible for me to send a photo so you could tell me how likely it is that I have it?
My Peyronie's Answer
I'm not a medical doctor (as stated on my website). But even if I was a doctor I would not diagnose you over the internet. It would be highly unethical.
The only way to get proper diagnosis is by seeing a doctor, ideally someone that has experience of treating men with Peyronie's disease (not all Urologists have the right experience). There is no need to be embarrassed about it. This is their job and they have seen it all before and most likely much worse. This article can hopefully help you to Prepare for your first doctor’s appointment.
I’m attaching links to few more articles that I hope you will find helpful at this stage. This article explains what Peyronie's disease is. This article compares the most common treatment options today and contains direct links for further information. Hopefully it can help you to identify which options may be suitable for you and help you to prepare for your doctor's appointment.
I hope this is some help and I wish you all the best in the future.
Kind regards,
Birgir
