Cause
Cause of penile sclerosis
The cause of the disease is unknown, and may be related to chronic damage and inflammation of the penis. In recent years, it has been thought that this disease is related to autoimmune response. The disease is more common in adults, because plaque can cause penile erection pain and bending deformity and cause sexual difficulties. However, the disease develops slowly and has no tendency to become malignant. There is no satisfactory treatment for this disease. Surgery can only correct the bending deformity of some patients. Non-surgical treatment takes longer and the patient sometimes has difficulty adhering to it.
