Dr Mohit Khera, a leading urologist, warned many men with Peyronie’s disease were suffering in silence<\/p>\n

Millions of American men are ‘suffering in silence’ with deformed penises, a leading urologist has warned.<\/p>\n

Dr Mohit Khera, \ube44\uc544\uadf8\ub77c \uad6c\uc785<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Dr Khera warned that most men do not seek help\u00a0because of stigma and embarrassment,\u00a0despite the condition being highly treatable if caught early.<\/p>\n

Dr Khera told\u00a0 The Peter Attia Drive Podcast: ‘Up to seven to nine percent of men in the US have Peyronie’s disease.<\/p>\n

‘This population, I call the population that suffers in silence<\/a>. They never talk about it. In fact, studies show that they are very silent and never seek care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
