Peyronie's Disease Treatment Utah | Curved Penis Treatment

Understanding Peyronie's Disease

Peyronie's disease is a condition where scar tissue (called plaque) forms inside the penis, causing it to curve during erection. This curvature can cause pain, difficulty with intercourse, and significant emotional distress.

The condition affects 6-10% of men, typically between ages 40-70, though it can occur at any age. While mild curvature may not require treatment, significant curvature or pain should be evaluated.

Symptoms of Peyronie's Disease

Penile curvature during erection (often upward or to one side)
Pain during erection or intercourse
Hard lump or band of tissue under the skin
Erectile dysfunction
Shortening of the penis
Indentation or "hourglass" shape

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Peyronie's Disease

What is Peyronie's disease?

Peyronie's disease is a condition where scar tissue (plaque) forms inside the penis, causing curved, painful erections. It affects 6-10% of men, typically between ages 40-70, though it can occur at any age.

What causes Peyronie's disease?

Peyronie's is usually caused by repeated injury to the penis during sex, athletic activity, or accidents. Genetics, connective tissue disorders, and age are also risk factors. The injury triggers abnormal wound healing that forms scar tissue.

Can Peyronie's disease be treated without surgery?

Yes, non-surgical options include acoustic wave therapy (which breaks down scar tissue), medications, and traction therapy. These are most effective during the acute phase when the condition is still developing.

How effective is acoustic wave therapy for Peyronie's?

Acoustic wave therapy can reduce curvature by 10-30 degrees in many patients and significantly reduce pain. It works by breaking down scar tissue and promoting healthy tissue regeneration. Multiple treatment sessions are typically required.

Does Peyronie's disease cause erectile dysfunction?

Yes, about 20-50% of men with Peyronie's also experience erectile dysfunction. This may be due to the plaque affecting blood flow, psychological factors, or both. ED can often be treated alongside the Peyronie's.

Will Peyronie's disease go away on its own?

In about 13% of cases, Peyronie's may improve without treatment. However, most cases either stay the same or worsen without intervention. Early treatment during the acute phase offers the best chance of improvement.

When should I seek treatment for Peyronie's?

Seek treatment as soon as you notice symptoms—curvature, pain, or a lump in the penis. Early intervention during the acute phase (first 6-12 months) is most effective. Don't wait until the condition stabilizes.
