6. Risk Factors

Since the actual cause of Peyronie's disease is unknown, there are other factors besides injury that might play a role. For example, heredity; you might have an increased chance of the condition if your dad or brother has it. Age, especially men over 55, can be another risk factor. If you have other connective tissue disorders such as Dupuytren's contracture, you could have a higher risk of the disease. Some kinds of prostate surgery might affect the condition as well as smoking.
