A member asked:
Could misusing viagra (sildenafil) cause peyronies or worsen it? i'm not referring to overly aggressive sex or injurious behavior, but rather taking 100mg tabs qe4 hrs but not erections lasting more thn 1 hr

NO: Peyronie's disease is a growth of fibrous tissue in the soft tissue of the penis. The viagra (sildenafil) does not cause nor worsen the problem. I would however not take so many as you can have significant side effects with this drug . More is not better.

Peyronie's: Viagra (sildenafil) can't cause Peyronie's disease.Your other concerns should be addressed by a Urologist.
