I would like to know more about peyronies disease with no palpable plaque whatsoever. My penis feels identical on both sides when flaccid and semi-erect. When im fully erect the curved/indented spot is actually softer than the rest of my erection, rather than more firm or like a plaque.
Are there other guys like this?
I've been told different things by doctors, one being that the plaque is still new (it's been almost a year now since this onset, so I'm doubtful of that), another being the plaque is very tiny, but I also am doubtful that such a small plaque could cause curvature and indentation, and another being that the plaque could be in the deeper layers than normal.
I've also had a flaccid ultrasound which showed extremely healthy tissue. Of course flaccid ultrasounds aren't good for finding plaque, but the overall tissue is extremely healthy I was told.
I've been to two different urologists in my country who specializes in Peyronies sugery and both told me I have no palpable plaque but I was still diagnosed due to my narrowing on the right side.

What do you think causes the curve in cases like mine and yours? To me plaque causing the curve makes perfect sense, but if nothing is palpable, why is it curving? What is there that that is stubborn enough to not expand, causing the healthy tissue to be forced to curve around it?
Sure a non-congenital curve like mine and yours with no palpable plaque would be called peyronies disease. But putting the term peyronies to the side, what is the physical, literal thing that causes the curve if it isn't a plaque/scarring that is significant enough to be felt?
Even if there is a small plaque, small enough that it is not palpable, how would that cause a 20+ degree curve? Mine is also 20 degrees. I can understand a borderline unnoticeable curve of 5~ degrees occurring from a non-palpable plaque, but not 20 degrees and up.
It could be peyronies in the septum

I'd never heard of that and wasn't aware it was a thing. Interesting.
I wonder if that could cause a curve to either the left or right though, as the septum is between the two corpora in the middle.

I've been studying peyronies for 16 years, and I have never heard of this. I
don't think it is "a thing".
