Peyronie's Disease & Parkinson's Disease
If you are already living with Parkinson’s disease, you may be aware that it can often lead to Erectile Dysfunction (ED), which can, in turn, sometimes result in Peyronie’s disease.
The Link Between Parkinson's Disease and Male Health Issues
Male health issues, including Peyronie’s disease, are common among individuals with Parkinson’s disease.
Parkinson’s disease is a disorder of the central nervous system that begins in the brain and affects movement. The condition progresses gradually, with early symptoms such as tremors in one hand, stiffness, and slower movement. Over time, it can impact walking, cause slurred speech, and affect facial expression

Overcoming Intimacy Challenges in Parkinson's Disease
Many men with Parkinson’s disease can still maintain intimate relationships, although they may face greater challenges. Some of the difficulties include:
- Stiffness and slowness, which can make intimacy more difficult
- Tremors and involuntary muscle movements, which can intensify with excitement
- A reduced drive with fatigue
- Depression, caused by the condition, changes in household roles, and body image concerns
Treatment Options for
Peyronie's Disease and Parkinson's Disease
Some medications can help improve desire, while others may have the opposite effect.
A variety of treatment options for Peyronie’s disease are available, which can be viewed on our treatment options page. One effective approach is Focused Shockwave Therapy (f-ESWT) (FSWT). FSWT uses acoustic waves travelling at 1500 metres per second to break down the Peyronie’s disease plaque. This treatment is generally well tolerated, and you can resume your normal routine immediately after treatment.”
