Penis Disorders: Health Problems with the Penis

Penis Disorders: Health Problems with the Penis


Men’s health is not only about sex and male grooming, but cal also include penis disorders. We chalk out the various problems and issues that affect the penis.


Erectile dysfunction:

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is when a man has trouble maintaining an erection. This problem is more common among older men, but even the younger lot is not entirely safe from it, thanks to performance anxiety, relationship issues, stress, depression, medical complications, and so on.

Peyronie's disease:

“Peyronie's disease is the connective tissue disorder in which fibrous plaques form in the soft tissue of the penis,” says Dr. Sharma in simple words.

According to Wikipedia, ‘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.’

Jock itch:

Jock itch is essentially a form of ringworm or topical fungal infection. It is quite common amongst athletes or people who exercise a lot and at high intensities, because of its relation to sweat. This fungal infection grows when your groin area remains wet and moist. Another point to note is that jock itch can be transferred from contact, like sharing towels and sexual contact.
