Other causes of Peyronie's disease that is not from inflammation is vitamin E deficiency. Taking beta blocking medications like atenolol and metoprolol and high levels of serotonin, excessively high levels and sometimes depression medication raises serotonin level. Now this is no indication to say that, hey, you have Peyronie stop these medications. I'm not saying that, just saying that it could contribute to it. And you need to talk with your doctor before you wean yourself off of any medication. And then other common caus is from trauma or fracture of the penis or just trauma to the penis from long time ago.
