Dear Sir,

Thank you for your consult at DoctorSpring.com.

You appear to be suffering from Peyronie's plaque. The only two known problems with the same are angulation of penis and painful or poor erection. As you don't have either of the two, you need not worry about it. The number one concern of all my patients is ruling out cancer. You don't have that and stay reassured.

You should avoid woman on top position while having intercourse because that is the most common cause of this disease. You can start yourself on T. Evion 400 mg twice daily under care of your doctor. Eat 5 almonds and one walnut everyday.

Hope this helps, please feel free to discuss further.

Take care

Sincerely
Dr Rajiv Goel
