Hi guys, does peyronies actually cause ED or is it mental?

Sta

Only in very advanced cases. It is psychological in the majority.

Born 1985, Peyronie's since 2011/12. Lost approximately 3 cm of length and seriously bottlenecked.

Sta,

I don't think I could disagree more with your response.  While I'm sure some aspects are psychological, my ED kicked in immediately after the event causing my inflammation.  I went from rock hard erections and good morning wood to floppy crappy  erections and NO morning wood overnight.  Things have not improved.

It really all depends on where your scarring occurs and whether it impedes blood flow or prevents veins from closing.  Another erection killer would be pain if you get painful erections.  The next would be stress and anxiety for sure.

Does everyone with Peyronies Disease get ED?  No.  But those that do, likely have a physiological reason for getting ED; namely, impeded blood flow or venous leak.  That's what I've gathered from my research so far, I could be wrong.

Just so there's no misunderstanding, the people with Peyronies Disease that develop ED I think are in the minority (less than 20% I believe).  BUT, the people that do develop ED from Peyronies likely have a physiological reason to develop it as mentioned in my lost below.  It's unlikely to entirely be psychological.

In fact, most ED cases are not psychological as once previously believed by the medical community.  Most cases of ED are due to physical reasons, even outside of Peyronies.

From reading every post on this forum in the last 6 years and also reading all the posts from before joined the forum, ED is indeed a result of Peyronies as the plaques are restricting blood flow and restricting the veins from closing after erection. From where you find the 20% Duey? In my opinion, 80% of the Peyronies sufferers developing ED.

Hey James,

I think you're probably right about the actual percentage of people where Peyronies Disease causes ED.  I think I had read something about the ED statistics on a medical website about Peyronies Disease.

Regardless, it seems we agree on the mechanism that causes the ED due to Peyronies.  I'm learning!  :D

The original poster asked if it could be physical or mental.

I believe the correct answer is it can be either or both. We don't have any hard statistics in this area. But I do know (me included) that the disease affected me mentally and certainly did not help my erections. And I know others who had the same problem with the psychological impacts of Peyronies impacting their erections.

Also, asking if Peyronies causes ED or ED causes Peyronies is like asking the proverbial which came first (chicken or the egg). It is a fact that Peyronies and ED are related. Do many men have both... yes. Which came first...... again there are no confirmed studies.

Many men will confirm their ED started after their Peyronies appeared.

Others (including me) will confirm that my erections were starting to get weaker prior to my Peyronies. But I refused to admit it. And having weaker erections makes you more susceptible to trauma during intercourse which then can lead to Peyronies.

So are ED and Peyronies related.... yes.  But either can cause the other.

I'll confirm that my ED and Peyronies started at the same time.  What I mean by that is I gave myself an injury, though I really don't know how or why.  There was obviously swelling and inflammation and nothing healed correctly.  My ED started immediately after the event and the Peyronies started during the inflammation event.  So mine can definitely be linked together.

I'm 29 and am in reasonably good shape; my erections were hard one day and soft and easily lost the next.

I can say that the few other people I've actually MET with peyronies have had some degree of ED symptoms.

Mostly physical, some psychological.

ED and Peyronies Disease are linked, meaning ED itself raises risk of Peyronies Disease, and Peyronies Disease causes ED.

While genetics play a huge role in the development of Peyronie's, poor penile health in general lead's to hypoxia, and then fibrosis.
