Introduction

Introduction Penile induration, also known as penile fibrosinitis, is a connective tissue proliferative disorder that occurs between the two layers of fascia of the corpus cavernosum. Penile induration occurs in men 20-50 years old. Penile induration can touch one or several cords or elliptical induration on the dorsal or root of the penis. The texture is like cartilage. The size is as small as mung bean. Like peanuts. There is no discomfort when the penis is loose, and there is local pain during erection. Small induration has no effect on erection. Large induration can hinder the erection of the penis, making the penis curved, plus mental factors such as worry and anxiety. In severe cases, it may affect sexual life.

Cause

Cause

Because of the fibrotic lesion between the corpus cavernosum and the white membrane, the normal elastic connective tissue is replaced by glass denaturation or fibrous scarring, and single or multiple plaques appear on the dorsal or bilateral sides of the penis.

Can cause sexual dysfunction, such as painful erections, erectile dysfunction or impotence. Induration generally does not damage the urethra, and there is no difficulty in urinating, but genital discomfort, a sense of falling, and painful discomfort during urination may occur.
