Individual Clinical Assessment
We assess each patient individually, considering factors such as penile curvature, plaque development, pain, erectile function and the stage of the condition.
About Mans Matters
PeyroniesDisease.co.uk is the dedicated Peyronie’s disease website operated by Mans Matters, a specialist men’s health clinic based in Knightsbridge, London. The website provides information about Peyronie’s disease, the clinic’s non-surgical treatment options and how patients can access its clinical team.
Mans Matters supports men experiencing Peyronie’s disease, erectile dysfunction and related sexual health concerns. Its clinicians assess each patient individually before recommending an appropriate care pathway, taking account of their symptoms, medical history and personal treatment objectives.
Although this website focuses specifically on Peyronie’s disease, consultations and treatments are delivered through the Mans Matters clinic. This means patients benefit from the wider team’s experience in men’s sexual health, urology and non-surgical treatment technologies.
Our Approach to Peyronie's Disease
Every experience of Peyronie’s disease is different. Our approach begins with understanding your symptoms, medical history and personal concerns before discussing which treatment options may be appropriate for you.
Personalised Care Planning
Where treatment is suitable, we develop a care pathway around the patient’s clinical findings and treatment objectives. This may involve a combination of non-surgical treatment technologies and supportive devices.
Clear and Realistic Guidance
Our team explains the available options, their limitations and what a patient may reasonably expect. No outcome can be guaranteed, and treatment is only recommended following an appropriate assessment.
If our non-surgical treatments are not considered suitable, we will explain this clearly and may recommend that you speak with your GP or an appropriate medical specialist about alternative care.
Our Peyronie's Disease Expert Team
Meet the experienced clinicians, medical advisers and patient support professionals behind our specialist Peyronie’s disease clinic. Our multidisciplinary team brings together experience across urology, men’s sexual health, patient assessment and non-surgical treatment technologies. Every patient receives discreet, respectful support, with recommendations based on their symptoms, medical history and individual needs. Where appropriate, our team also works with external medical partners to provide access to wider specialist expertise.

How Our Clinical Care is Governed
Our clinical governance processes are designed to ensure every patient receives safe, appropriate and confidential care. From initial assessment and informed consent to prescribing, treatment delivery and follow-up support, each stage is managed by trained professionals working within their defined responsibilities and scope of practice.
Clinical Responsibility
Mr Leon Almashan, Lead Medical Consultant and Joint Managing Partner, leads patient assessment, treatment planning and the development of the clinic’s non-surgical Peyronie’s disease protocols. The wider clinical team works within defined responsibilities and professional scopes of practice.
Consultations and Clinical Assessment
Consultations are conducted by members of the clinical team with relevant experience in men’s sexual health and urological care. The assessment considers the patient’s symptoms, medical history, stage of Peyronie’s disease, erectile function and individual concerns.
Establishing Treatment Suitability
Treatment is not recommended solely on the basis of an online enquiry or telephone conversation. Suitability is established through an individual assessment, with the potential benefits, limitations and alternative options explained before a care plan is agreed.
Who Performs Treatments
Treatments are delivered by trained members of the clinical team who have experience using the relevant technology. The clinician responsible will explain what the treatment involves, how it forms part of the patient’s care plan and what follow-up may be required.
Qualified Prescribers
Stefan Anastasescu and Joshua Hearne-Wilkins are qualified prescribers. Where prescription medication is clinically appropriate, prescribing decisions are made following an assessment and within the prescriber’s professional scope of practice.
Consent and Clear Expectations
Before treatment begins, patients are given an explanation of the proposed care, potential benefits, limitations and relevant risks. Patients have an opportunity to ask questions and must provide informed consent before proceeding. Treatment outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
Confidential and Respectful Care
Consultations take place in a private and respectful environment. Information about a patient’s symptoms, sexual health and treatment is handled confidentially and only shared with appropriate members of the care team.
Concerns and Adverse Events
Patients are encouraged to raise concerns during or after treatment. The clinical team can assess reported symptoms, provide appropriate guidance and determine whether treatment should be adjusted, paused or discontinued.
Communication With Your GP
Where clinically appropriate and with the patient’s consent, the clinic may communicate with their GP or another healthcare professional involved in their care. Patients may also be referred back to their GP when their needs fall outside the clinic’s services.

View treatment optionsEvidence and Responsible Treatments
Assessment Comes First
No treatment is suitable for every person with Peyronie’s disease. Recommendations are made after considering the patient’s symptoms, medical history, erectile function, degree of curvature and stage of the condition.
Clear Treatment Objectives
Different treatments may be intended to address different concerns, such as pain, erectile function, penile conditioning or deformity. The intended purpose of each recommended treatment is explained before care begins.
Evidence Has Limitations
The evidence for conservative Peyronie’s disease treatments varies. Some approaches have limited or conflicting research, and results from one treatment or group of patients cannot be assumed to apply to everyone.
No Guaranteed Outcomes
Treatment responses vary according to the individual and the nature of their condition. The clinic does not guarantee complete straightening, symptom resolution or a specific level of improvement.
Informed Patient Choice
Patients are given clear information about the proposed treatment, possible benefits, limitations, relevant risks and alternative options so they can make an informed decision about their care.
Progress Is Monitored
Symptoms, patient feedback and relevant clinical findings can be reviewed during the treatment pathway. Recommendations may be reconsidered when treatment is not providing the expected benefit or concerns arise.
Alternative Care Is Discussed
When the clinic’s non-surgical treatments are not considered appropriate, patients may be advised to consult their GP or an appropriate specialist about other management options, including surgical assessment.
Information Is Kept Under Review
Clinical information should be reviewed as evidence and professional guidance develop. Treatment pages identify the clinician responsible for medical review and the date the information was last checked.
Our commitment is to provide clear and responsible guidance. A consultation is intended to help you understand your condition and available options. It does not mean that a particular treatment will automatically be recommended.
