You’re Not Alone – Peyronie’s disease is more common than you might expect

The National Institute of Health estimates that 3-9% of adult men experience Peyronie’s disease. This represents between 130 million – 290 million men worldwide, though the number may be even higher because patients do not always seek medical help. According to some health experts, Peyronie’s disease is considered relatively common with an estimated 200,000+ cases in the U.S. alone yearly.

The curvature associated with Peyronie’s disease (bent penis) may gradually worsen and become more difficult to treat over time, so it’s important to seek Peyronie’s disease treatment as soon as possible.
