Urologists identify two stages of Peyronie’s disease: an initial acute stage and a chronic stage.
In both stages, penile curvature can result in discomfort or challenges with sexual activity. Erectile Dysfunction may also occur as a potential symptom.
Peyronie’s disease typically progresses over about eighteen months and should be regularly monitored to ensure treatment aligns with each stage of the condition.
Stage One – The Acute Phase
In the acute stage, penile plaque may begin to form and increase in size, sometimes changing shape.
Patients may experience discomfort, penile curvature, or the presence of a firm area. Most conventional treatments are generally avoided in this stage. However, our therapies, such as Focused Shockwave Therapy, aim to target plaque and help manage the progression of the condition. This therapy may also address the risk of ED, a common concern for many men.
Stage Two – The Chronic Phase
In the chronic stage, plaque generally becomes stable and firm, with pain often subsiding. Blood flow in nearby vessels may be restricted by smaller plaques, which can cause additional penile curvature during erections. Many patients may experience partial erectile dysfunction, along with some reduction in girth or length, and occasionally a softening of the penile tip.
Historically, treatment options in this stage have included surgical procedures such as Penile Plication to help straighten the curvature, which may result in a minor length reduction, or the insertion of implants. Fortunately, our approach often provides an effective alternative to surgery for most men, allowing us to manage the condition without invasive procedures.
An effective, non-invasive option for
Peyronie's disease treatment
A better option for Peyronie’s disease therapy is available at MANSMATTERS, where we have successfully treated many men with non-invasive therapies, including Focused ShockWave Therapy (FSWT). FSWT targets plaque within the penile tissue, which the body can gradually process naturally. This therapy can help reduce curvature and support healthy blood flow, contributing to improved comfort and function.
