Even after 350 years of study the cause of Peyronie's disease remains a mystery and somewhat controversial. Peyronie's disease is a soft tissue problem that affects the shaft of the penis, in which a mass of fibrous scar tissue develops in the deeper layers of the organ that cause pain, curvature or some similar distortion of the erection, reduction of the size of the organ and reduced quality of the erection.
Several potential causes for Peyronie's disease exist, with the most popular and plausible theory that several factors must be present at the same time to initiate the tissue inflammation and eventual scar formation that are the basis of this male reproductive problem.
There are a few causation categories that are held to be significant in Peyronie's disease:
- Genetic predisposition - primarily Scandinavian and U.K. countries
- Trauma
- Drug or chemical injury - Beta blockers, statin drugs, finasteride (Propecia)
- Diabetes
- Liver damage and Alcoholism
- Cigarette smoking
Of this list, the first two factors are most commonly associated in the majority of Peyronie's disease.
