Why is it so many think peyronies is due to injury?

[Curvekiller94]

I understand the origins that okay injury that causes scar tissue to form. However I don't think that is the only variable or even main cause.

If someone has a minor penile Trauma it usually doesn't result in peyornies disease

So why is it believed that peyornies is caused by an injury?


If I had a minor injury without peyronies that is to be expected. So how is it that an injury Causes this if most mild injuries don't turn into it.


It seems like the injury might be the trigger, but not the cause. I am using basic logic

Is probably genetic, some men are prone to get it. I do have an autoimmune disease, so maybe that was a factor in my case, but I'm just guessing

Yeah I think it's just kinda crappy  for the people suffering when you look up on google it says caused by repeated injury, that definition makes the person who has the disease sound at fault when in reality some men hit their penises with hammers and somehow never get it leading me to believe it's not caused by injury

Trost says a theory is Peyronies could be caused by a benign tumor your body attacks and results in scaring.

Honestly, I don't think no one knows enough about our "disease", there is no money to be made for the medical industry. In the 80's HIV was a death sentence, now anyone with HIV can have a normal life due to the medical advances because they poured millions of dollars in research, Covid the same. Our disease is known  for hundreds of years and they didn't find any solution, so the only way to find a solution is to put millions to do proper studies and research

Unfortunately, I understand all too well - no one knows


I just wish they would list it as no one knows not caused by injury(which they aren't even sure of) I myself had no clear injury

Like I said before, the only way something can be done is putting millions to find a solution but unfortunately there is not a big market

@curvekiller
I don't know where and how you are googling.
The Wikipedia article about Peyronie's mentiones risk factors in addition to trigger injury. Every doctor I read about or talked to mentioned some kind of predisposition. Studies mention different causes and comorbidities as well. So this is barely news.

@bud luck
Hard disagree about no money to be made.
If studies say up to 10% men are suffering from Peyronie's, that's hundreds of million of patients/customers worldwide. And I don't know about you, but I for sure would happily spend every cent to get rid of this disease. So healing this is a business model if I've ever heard one.

What I think we lack most is awareness. That's what HIV and COVID both (rightfully) had. And while not contagious or deadly, we all know how devastating Peyronies Disease can be. Raising awareness for this would be the first million to spend.

Just remember that curing this will never be as "easy" as fighting some virus

I wonder how many men have penis fibrosis but don't tell anyone, if every single man that have Peroynes/fibrosis went to the Doctor it probably will increase the attention of the medical community, but unfortunately a lot of men are not willing to speak out about it, that's my two cents. In the meantime some "Doctors" and "clinics" are doing not proving "therapies" to fix penis fibrosis, like the P-shot, Shockwave, Gainwaves, O-zone...and desesperste naive man like me fall for it and got worse!!!!
