Peyronie's disease is a connective tissue disorder involving the growth of fibrous plaques in the soft tissue of the penis.Specifically, scar tissue forms in the tunica albuginea, the thick sheath of tissue surrounding the corpora cavernosa, causing pain, abnormal curvature, erectile dysfunction, indentation, loss of girth and shortening.
Other symptoms include severe pain, loss of erection, and swelling. [5] Symptoms of urethral injury include hematuria, blood at the meatus, and dysuria.
