Dr. Anne Truong explains how untreated ED starves penile tissue of blood flow, causing it to shrink and stiffen. Without regular perfusion, the tissue atrophies and scar tissue forms. This fibrotic cascade can actually trigger Peyronie's disease rather than just coexist with it.

Number 3, this is something you may not know, the connection that nobody talk about, and it's critically important. When a man has untreated ED, the p— muscle is not receiving regular blood flow. So without blood flow, the corpus cavernosum or the p— muscle along the side here begin to atrophy or shrink and stiffen. So as the tissue become less elastic, scar tissue to start to form within it. This is why ED and Peyronie's are often found together. ED doesn't just coexist with Peyronie's. In many cases, untreated ED is what creates the condition for Peyronie's to develop.
