High Blood Pressure and Peyronie's Disease
High blood pressure (hypertension) and diabetes are both linked to cardiovascular health and may contribute to the development of Peyronie’s Disease. While most individuals are aware that high blood pressure increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure, it may also play a role in the formation of Peyronie’s Disease.
Certain medications, too, may contribute to this condition. These medications are thought to potentially cause fibrotic tissue changes in the reproductive organs, leading to plaque and scar formation. Additionally, some evidence suggests that oxidative stress may be a factor in both Peyronie’s Disease and cardiovascular conditions.
