Severe Peyronies=high number of Plaques?

Hi guys, I'm wondering how many plaques one would need to have to be considered to have a severe case of peyronies.  If anyone would like to share how many plaques they have in addition to the degree of curator. I'd be interested to compare if more plaques=worse curve as I suspect and as would logically make sense.

I don't know how severity is measured. The curvature is determined by the location, size, and hardness (lack of flexibility or ability to stretch) of the plaques. I have several of varying size and shape, but their locations cause their resultant curves to mostly cancel out and I have a relatively straight dick as a result. It's lumpy, dented, and twisted, but straightish. Is that severe? I dunno and don't care.

It's all relative. I have three plaques - spaced almost evenly from base to just behind the glans, yet I have no curvature, as they are located on the septum and cause indentations instead of curvature.

I would consider a cast "severe" if it interferes with intercourse, either through pain or excessive bend or other interference with erection.  If your case has bends which cancel each other out, your main concern would be pain or loss of length/firmness of erection.  If you are able to have "normal" intercourse, I would consider you one of the 'lucky' ones when it comes to Peyronies Disease.

Glassglue, that's interesting you say they can cancel each other out, thus creating no curve. While I have a downward curve, it does seem that indentions are more problematic at the moment.  It feels like my penile tissue is being eaten away and I fear it may start to cause problems if not treated. I'm wondering, what do you guys think is more problematic for sex/erection quality, indentions or a curve?

They can all be problematic. Probably dents less so unless they cause a localized weak spot that causes the dick to buckle under pressure. This is known as hinging. It all sucks monkey balls. Hourglass deformity when the dent essentially goes all the way around causes similar problems. And all can eventually lead to varying degrees of ED. I have the same feeling about the tissue in my penis, but the assumption you make that there are widely effective treatments is dubious. Do what you can to fight it while you are getting used to your new dick.

I've only heard of severity in terms of degree of curvature, not by the number or location of plaques. Meaning if your erection is straight and you have many plaques, then I don't think it would be considered severe.
