Medical Conditions That Affect The Penis

Erectile Dysfunction

This is one of the most embarrasing and sensitive conditions affecting the male ego. Erectile Dysfunction (or ED) can have it's roots both in physical and psychological causes. What are the physical conditions that can result in ED?

Any condition that interferes with the flow of blood through the body will have a negative impact on a man’s sex life. Diabetes, kidney diseases, chronic alcoholism and multiple sclerosis can all affect the flow of blood through the body and thus affect the penis' ability to get erect.

Some medication can also be harmful to erection strength. For example, medication for blood pressure or heart conditions affect a healthy sex life. Physical injury to the penis, and its surrounding area can also be a cause of erectile dysfunction in men.

Psychological factors like stress, anxiety, and depression are major causes of temporary erectile dysfunction too. Erectile dysfunction can also trigger patterns of depression and inadequacy that lead to further sexual failures.

Premature Ejaculation

Coming too fast is one of the most common sexual problem in men. An estimated 30% of all men are unable to control their ejaculation in sex. This is called premature ejaculation. This penis medical condition affects mainly younger men due to inexperience in controllin the penis muscle.

Unwanted Curvature of the Penis

A curved penis is usually but not always caused by a disease known as Peyronie’s Disease. It was named after the brilliant XVII century French surgeon Francois de la Peyronie. Peyronie’s Disease is a rare disorder of the connective tissue that makes up part of the penis.

This diease results in the growth of fibrous plaques in the soft tissue of the penis. These fibrous plaques can, in time, bend the penis in one direction or another resulting in a curved penis. This type of unwanted curvature can be painful for sex.

The exact cause of Peyronie’s Disease is still unknown. Some experts are convinced that Peyronie’s disease is inherited while others believe it is caused by injury to the internal cavity of the penis.

The only known treatments of this condition are surgery, oral medication (vitamin E), a penis extender or penis exercises.
