It can can cause pain, discomfort, and difficulty during sexual intercourse.
Unlike penile curvature that may be present from birth, Peyronie’s Disease forms over time and can affect a significant proportion of the male population, though it’s more common in men over the age of 40.
The first step is to talk to your doctor or urologist about your symptoms. They will be able to determine the extent of the condition and any underlying causes of it and recommend the appropriate intervention.
Non-surgical treatment options have included oral supplements and topical or injectable therapies. However, these approaches have generally shown limited effectiveness. Other treatments may involve the use of a vacuum pump, traction device, or medications administered directly into the penis.
In many cases, surgery may be necessary. Surgery remains the best way to straighten the scar tissue, graft healthy tissue, or implant a penile prosthesis to help correct the curvature.
Treatment can help to reduce pain and discomfort, improve sexual function and intimacy and restore self-confidence and quality of life. With the right treatment, many men are able to achieve a successful and fulfilling sex life.
By talking to your doctor or urologist, you can find the right treatment option for your situation.

Unfortunately, this disease rarely resolves without treatment. In a small minority of men, the changes caused can self resolve. Scarring may result in penile shortening, curved and painful erections, and ongoing issues with sex.
Treatment times for Peyronie’s vary depending on the stage of disease. Early in the process, penile changes including scars, curvature and erectile weakness may develop. This usually settles after 6-12 months, following which definitive treatments can take place.
Oral medications, penile traction devices, and shock wave therapy may require several months.
However, in some cases, penile surgery (plication, plaque incision and grafting , or penile implant surgery) may be needed. These require a night night stay in hospital, and a recovery period of 2-4 weeks.
Some surgical correction options, including penis implant surgery for very severe cases, may be partially covered by Medicare in Australia.
The good news is that it is rarely too late to fix Peyronie’s. Even after the acute phase, surgical techniques like plaque incision or implant surgery can correct a severe deformity in the male sexual organ.
Early appropriate diagnosis can provide reassurance and ensure you are being treated appropriately and help you maintain your sex life, even in the acute phase. However, treatment at any stage can restore pain-free and fully functional sexual activity, getting depressive symptoms resolved.
Without treatment, Peyronie’s can cause significant penile shortening, severe curves, and permanent penile deformity. Without assistance, this can lead to a loss of confidence and significant relationship issues.
