A patient has Peyronie’s disease (abnormal curvature of the penis) for 4 years.
It all started when he began university and had an unusual (not sexual) interaction with a woman, he remained fully clothed and may have had physical trauma to the erect penis at this time.

He is 22 years old, slightly overweight, a student with a sedentary lifestyle.
He also displays intermittent red itchy rash in the groin region and has had a yeast infection in the past.
His bowels are soft, his tongue has a thick greasy coating, and it effects him emotionally.
He is a light sleeper, pensive, gets colds quite frequently, and describes his digestion as ’sensitive’ presenting with gas and bloating.

Science now says that all cases show a certain plaque & inflammation on the musculature of penis.

Peyronie’s in my opinion may be displaying with autoimmune characteristics (unknown inflammatory response), … My first thought is a clear bland diet (to minimize yeast-immune reactions).

VITAMIN E: this anti-oxidant has other uses in the treatment of scars, and has been employed in the treatment of Peyronie’s disease since 1945.

Is there anything else anyone can recommend? TCM or other?
