What is Peyronie's disease?


I recently learned in health class about a disorder called Peyronie's disease, which is an irregular bend in the penis. My teacher says one of the causes is masturbation. Is this true?

Peyronie's disease causes an uncommon sexual dysfunction that results from a bent penis during erection. The disease is characterized by a hard, fibrous layer of scar tissue (plaque) that usually develops under the skin on the upper or lower side of the penis. When the penis is erect, the scar tissue pulls the affected area off at an angle, causing a curved penis.
Francois de la Peyronie, a French surgeon, first described Peyronie's disease in 1743. Because Peyronie's disease involves deformity of an erect penis and may impair sexual intercourse, doctors have historically classified the condition as a form of impotence, currently referred to as erectile dysfunction (ED). Sometimes Peyronie's disease improves without treatment, so your doctor may initially recommend a wait-and-see approach. Other options for treatment of Peyronie's disease involve nonsurgical and surgical approaches.
Strange your teacher affirmed that untrue fact because masturbation gets nothing to do with Peyronie's disease and on the contrary it even can impede a normal action.

You DO realize you're on the internet, don't you? Try a search engine.

This article doesn't list masturbation as a cause. Sounds like your teacher was trying to scare the guys.

Peyronie's disease has nothing to do with maturbation at all.
Load of bull:tell your"teacher" that I said so.
