Just curious what the defining characteristics of peyronie's is.
Is it the bent penis?
Is it the plaque? (What if no bending but just a hard lump seem to exist?)
Is it penis pain?
Medically speaking, the defining characteristic would be the presence of fibrotic (scar) tissue in or on the erectile tissues of the penis. For some, this may be a small lump with no pain or curvature, for others this may mean curvature and pain but no palpable lump. This is because scar tissue can be diffuse (spread out) and may not feel like a lump. It all depends on the person and how the disease affects them.
As far as pain goes, some men feel no pain at all, some feel pain that later goes away, and others have pain that might not go away.
Peyronie's presents differently in every man with symptoms that can vary over time.
