Van Buren’s disease, also known as Peyronie’s disease, results from a plaque in the layers of erectile that may occur on the upper than the lower part of the penis. It is a noncancerous disease that may cause the penis to be curved and have painful erections for some men.
The exact cause of this condition is still unknown. However, it is speculated that it can be caused by a repetitive injury in the penis, which can be caused by sex, accidents, or sports injuries.
Moreover, this condition may result to a difficulty in having sex or maintaining an erection. Hence, this can cause anxiety, stress, and depression for some men. Also, this disease often remains or continues to worsen. However, treating it early may help improve its symptoms.
