Dr Mohit Khera, a leading urologist, warned many men with Peyronie’s disease were suffering in silence
Millions of American men are ‘suffering in silence’ with deformed penises, a leading urologist has warned.
Dr Mohit Khera, 비아그라 구입 from Baylor College of Medicine in Texas, said as many as one in ten American men have Peyronie’s disease, a disorder in which scar link tissue, called plaque, forms under the skin of the penis.
It is usually caused by repeated micro-injuries during sex, masturbation or exercise, and results in the person’s genitals becoming curved to varying degrees. Patients normally can’t recall specific trauma to the penis.
Dr Khera warned that most men do not seek help because of stigma and embarrassment, despite the condition being highly treatable if caught early.
Dr Khera told The Peter Attia Drive Podcast: ‘Up to seven to nine percent of men in the US have Peyronie’s disease.
‘This population, I call the population that suffers in silence. They never talk about it. In fact, studies show that they are very silent and never seek care.
