A diagnosis of Peyronie’s disease or curvature of the penis is usually made when men seek medical attention for painful erections and difficulty with intercourse. In some patients, they seek help because of severe curvature of the penis that may influence sexual life. A diagnosis of Peyronie’s disease by an urologist usually can be made by a detailed medical history and conducting a thorough physical examination. It is best to seek out an urologist who specializes in Peyronie’s disease, as the disease and its current treatments are not well understood by most urologists in general practice. First of all, your doctor will talk to you and ask you about any circumstances, such as injury or trauma, which may have occurred prior to symptoms appearing.

The Peyronie’s disease plaque is visible and palpable whether the penis is flaccid or erect. Sometimes, it is necessary to perform the examination with the erect penis. This is achieved by injecting a vasoactive substance that affects the blood vessels in the penis, causing erection. The patient may also provide pictures (digital or Polaroid) of the erect penis to demonstrate the deformity of the penis during penile erection that can be a useful adjunct and help the Urologist to determine the severity of the curvature and other deformity. As we know, this disease always caused by penis stretcher activity.

In some cases where the doctor’s examination does not confirm Peyronie’s disease, or in cases where the condition develops rapidly, your doctor may perform a biopsy. A biopsy involves removing plaque cells on the penis for microscopic examination in a lab and is used to detect cancer.
