Understanding the Peyronie's Disease
The first sign a patient has Peyronie’s disease is that the penis may curve abnormally during erection and a man may experience discomfort. This curvature is caused by the formation of plaque or scar tissue which restricts expansion on one side, whilst the other side expands normally.
Recognising Peyronie's Disease Symptoms
The curvature of the penis can occur upwards, downwards, to the side, or occasionally around the circumference. A patient may also notice a physical lump or plaque formation in the affected area. This is not always present, and a consultant can detect the plaque during your consultation.
Men may sometimes feel uncomfortable discussing these symptoms, which can delay seeking treatment. Early consultation with a specialist can provide support and help manage symptoms over time.
Understanding the effect of Peyronie's Disease on Men's Health
Decreased blood flow through the blood vessels may lead to partial erectile dysfunction. Some, but not all patients may experience discomfort during erection or intercourse. As a result ,this can affect relationships.
Men and their partners who are effected this should seek advice.

Treating Peyronie's Disease
Before the availability of Extracorporeal Focused Shockwave Therapy, EMMT, and Nanovi Technology, patients had limited treatment options, often requiring invasive procedures. Traditional approaches included implants, sometimes requiring additional devices for function, or surgical techniques to address curvature. These methods may result in a decrease in size.
Shockwave Therapy
Treatment
Originally developed as treatment for kidney stones, focused shockwave therapy is now available as a non invasive approach that may support men experiencing symptons of Peyronie’s Disease. This therapy has been examined in numerous clinical trials and offers a non surgical option for managing symptons.
