The horror of Peyronie’s disease

Peyronie’s disease is a real surprise to any man who gets it.

When a man contracts Peyronie’s disease, it usually occurs in his mid to middle years of age. It can be a very scary and traumatic thing for any man.

His erections begin to bend uncontrollably. And then they keep bending more and more until sexual intercourse is not possible and the erection itself has become extremely painful.

It is not a disease

It is very important for a man to understand what is happening to his penis and why. Then you can remedy the situation in a healthy way and not have to worry about it happening again.

First: Peyronie’s disease is not a true “disease.” It is actually a very simple condition, like a broken leg, that is easy to remedy 99.99% of the time without penis surgery, penile injections, or medications.

It was simply called “disease” because it was named after the man who discovered why so many penises were “mysteriously” like this. (This was in 1743. The man was Francois de la Peyronie. Back then everything was labeled a “disease”). But, in reality, it is only a condition.

The bent penis that occurs in a Peyronie’s condition comes from scar tissue and / or fibrous plaque within the penis. The scar / plaque formation is usually found in the corpus cavernosum (the two chambers that fill with blood and make the penis erect). But the scar (s) or plaque can be anywhere on the inside of the penis.

Scar tissue and fibrous plaque are not as elastic (stretchable) as normal tissue. So when the penis becomes erect, these tissues do not stretch as much as normal tissue and the penis bends in the direction of the scar / plaque.

The scar / plaque is then called the cause of Peyronie’s disease.

But is not.

The scar / plaque causes the penis to bend upon erection. Yes. BUT, the scar / plaque is actually just a symptom of the actual issues.

The real causes

What caused the large scars and plaque to form is the actual cause of this condition.

A small normal scar does not usually cause many problems with an erection.

But, the scar in a Peyronie’s “Disease” condition is usually abnormally thick and heavy. It is often stringy. Fibers are the natural way to make a stronger and more resistant scar.

Most men who get Peyronies (about 1 in 100) don’t even remember hurting their penis. So they think the whole situation is a mystery. But is not.

Men who get Peyronies typically have 2 compromised health conditions:

• Weak fragile blood vessels
• Impaired healing ability

Weak blood vessels were broken. In these men, simply pulling the penis out of their pants with too much force can cause this to happen. The injury can be, and often is, painless.

So the problem seems to have “just happened”. But there is always a cause. Forever.

The troublesome scar

Then when the body went to repair the tear, a scar formed.

If the body didn’t have the proper building materials (nutrients) to heal properly, it used all the available materials it could to do the job. This is one of Mother Nature’s survival mechanisms. She doesn’t want you to bleed out.

So instead of creating a thin, tough, flexible scar, the body creates a thick, stringy scar that is actually no stronger than a normal, thin, hard scar would have been.

This thick fibrous scar has very little elasticity. So when the erection is formed, the penis bends. And that curve gets worse and worse for about 6 months as the scar gets thicker and thicker.

Typically, after 12 to 18 months, a scar softens and becomes more elastic. This is the reason why approximately 40% of men who have a bent penis with Peyronie’s disease find that their erection begins to straighten after this period of time.

The other 60% have to be straightened with some method or remain bent forever.

The hidden factors

Genetics sometimes play a role in Peyronie’s disease. Gold influences it.

But, the true cause of these scars is almost always nutritional. Lack of enough proper nutrients to heal normally.

Certain nutrients are required for strong blood vessels and proper healing.

Omega 3 fats are essential for proper healing. But, due to modern methods of food production, 80% of the population is deficient in this vital nutrient.

Adequate vitamin C, B vitamins, and protein are also required to heal properly.

Most humans do not get enough vitamin C. Most get just enough to prevent scurvy. Most are deficient in vitamin B.

Just surviving requires far fewer nutrients than living well in radiant health. Just because you are breathing does not mean that your body is working optimally or correctly.

A diet low in vitamins and minerals will weaken the blood vessels and cause poor healing. For 1 in 100 men, this will often result in Peyronie’s disease.

Avoid Peyronie’s disease

A man who has a bent penis from Peyronie’s disease should seriously consider his diet.

You need to make sure you are getting all the nutrients your body needs. You should eliminate nutritionally empty junk food and eat only health-supporting natural foods. The best is a primitive diet (meat and vegetables).

This is the diet our bodies evolved on (in perfect health) for hundreds of thousands of years.

Today, due to modern food production methods, we also need to supplement with fish oil (Omega 3 fats) and vitamin C to obtain these nutrients.

Staying well is actually quite simple

With a proper diet and proper nutrition, a body will become stronger and heal much more properly. And, with proper nutrition, a Peyronie’s condition, once corrected, is not likely to recur.
