Let's talk about Peyronie's disease, or PD.
It's not widely talked about, and some men may feel reluctant to bring it up, but it's more common than you'd think. PD can happen when scar tissue builds up under the skin of the penis, causing a curve with a bump during an erection that for some men, may lead to pain during intimacy and impact mental health.
A trusted urology specialist can help diagnose PD and walk you through your options including non-surgical treatment. Visit talkaboutpd.com. Let's talk about a condition many people haven't heard of, and it turns out it's more common than you'd think. Peyronie's disease, or PD for short. PD can happen when scar tissue builds up under the skin of the penis. This can cause a curve with a bump during an erection, and for some men, lead to pain during intimacy and may impact mental health. It may also lead to anger and frustration, depression, lower self-esteem, and even withdrawal from sexual activity and physical intimacy. Because of this, some men could feel embarrassed or reluctant to talk about PD.
The actual cause of PD isn't always known. In some cases, it may be linked to a minor injury or repeated injuries during sex or other physical activity. The good news is, PD is treatable. If you notice a curve with a bump, a trusted urology specialist can help diagnose it and walk you through options, including non-surgical treatment.

**Rob Beckett** (2:32)
Hello, you're listening to Parenting Hell with...

**Laura Smyth** (2:35)
Right, say Rob Beckett.

**Josh Widdicombe** (2:37)
Rob Beckett.

**Laura Smyth** (2:39)
And Josh Widdicombe. Josh Widdicombe.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:42)
Yeah, well done.

**Josh Widdicombe** (2:44)
There we go.
Lily Chilvers. Morning, here's my 8-year-old Robin saying your name. She's desperate to be famous one day. Hoping this is the start of it. Hey, hey, hey, Robin.

**Rob Beckett** (2:56)
Don't, do you want to be famous?

**Josh Widdicombe** (2:58)
No.

**Rob Beckett** (2:59)
No, I think...

**Josh Widdicombe** (3:00)
I think it's brilliant.

**Rob Beckett** (3:02)
Well, I think what I'd say is once the genie's out the bottle, you can't go back.

**Josh Widdicombe** (3:08)
Would you go back? Would you put the genie back in the bottle?

**Rob Beckett** (3:10)
Potentially, if I could do my job, like the stand up stuff and this... You can't.

**Josh Widdicombe** (3:16)
You can't.

**Rob Beckett** (3:16)
Well, I can't. But if I could do all this...

**Josh Widdicombe** (3:19)
That's the deal. That's the deal the devil strikes.

**Rob Beckett** (3:21)
I know. No, it's definitely brilliant and worth it, as my life is now.
But if you said to me, I could have my life I have now, but not be famous famous kind of thing, then, and still earn the money I earn, then I'll take that.

**Josh Widdicombe** (3:35)
Yeah, but that's the deal. That's the deal.

**Rob Beckett** (3:37)
I wouldn't give up stand up and doing this.

**Josh Widdicombe** (3:40)
Lily Chilvers, you've dug deep into the conflicted mind of Rob Beckett. He was holding his hat in his hand.

**Rob Beckett** (3:48)
It's life's balance, baby.

**Josh Widdicombe** (3:50)
He was going through hell.

**Rob Beckett** (3:52)
There's got to be life is balance, isn't it? No, no, no, it's a trade off. I've got a wonderful life and access to great things. However, you lose a little bit of part of you and your privacy in order to have that. And it's whether you're happy with that trade off. I'm happy with that trade off, but if you could click your fingers and take it away.
