If you’ve noticed a bend in your erection, discomfort during intimacy, or difficulties with sexual intercourse, you might be experiencing Peyronie’s disease. This condition, caused by scar tissue formation, can lead to painful erections, reduced confidence and in some cases, decreased erectile function.
While it’s a common issue for men over 50, many suffer in silence, unaware that effective non-invasive treatments are available. At MansMatters, we specialise in cutting-edge Peyronie’s Disease treatment in London, offering advanced, non-surgical solutions that target the root cause of the condition – helping men restore natural sexual function and regain confidence in their intimate health.
What is Peyronie’s Disease?
Peyronie’s disease is a condition that affects the erect penis, causing an abnormal bend or curvature due to the development of scar tissue beneath the skin. This can lead to painful erections, difficulties with sexual intercourse and, in some cases, decreased erectile function. While some men experience mild symptoms, others find that the condition significantly impacts their sexual health and overall well-being.
The condition typically progresses through two stages:
The Acute Phase
- This is the initial stage when scar tissue forms, leading to penile pain, inflammation and noticeable changes in curvature.
- Some men also experience erectile dysfunction due to restricted blood flow and nerve sensitivity changes.
The Chronic Phase
- Over time, the scar tissue stabilises and while penile pain may subside, the curvature and associated symptoms often persist.
- Without treatment, this can make sexual activity increasingly difficult and reduce erectile function in the long term.
What Causes Peyronie’s Disease?
The exact cause of Peyronie’s disease is not always clear, but it is believed to result from repeated micro-injuries to the erect penis, which lead to excessive scar tissue formation. Several factors may increase the risk of developing Peyronie’s disease, including:
- Trauma or Injury – Minor injuries during sexual activity or physical exertion can cause scar tissue to form.
- Connective Tissue Disorders – Conditions affecting connective tissue may make some men more susceptible.
- Autoimmune Disease – In some cases, the body’s immune system may mistakenly contribute to excessive scar tissue buildup.
- High Blood Pressure & Cardiovascular Issues – These can affect blood flow, which is crucial for erectile function and penile tissue health.
- Prostate Cancer & Medical History – Some men develop Peyronie’s disease following treatments for prostate cancer or have a family history of the condition.
- Congenital Penile Curvature – Unlike Peyronie’s disease, some men are born with a naturally curved penis, though this does not involve scar tissue formation.
Symptoms of
Peyronie’s Disease
Men experiencing Peyronie’s disease symptoms may notice:
- A distinct curve or bend in the erect penis, often making sexual activity challenging.
- Penile pain, particularly during the acute phase of the condition.
- Hard lumps or plaques beneath the skin, where scar tissue forms.
- Shortening or narrowing of the penis due to tissue changes.
- Erectile dysfunction, either due to reduced blood flow or the psychological impact of the condition.
How is Peyronie’s Disease Diagnosed?
A healthcare professional can diagnose Peyronie’s disease through a physical examination, assessing the degree of penile curvature and the presence of scar tissue. In some cases, additional tests such as ultrasound may be recommended to evaluate blood flow and connective tissue changes.
Treatment Options for Peyronie’s Disease
At MansMatters, we offer non-invasive treatments designed to treat Peyronie’s disease by improving blood flow, breaking down scar tissue and enhancing erectile function. Unlike surgical procedures, our multi-modal approach aims to restore natural function without the risks associated with invasive treatments.
Shockwave Therapy
One of the most advanced Peyronie’s disease treatments, Shockwave Therapy uses low-intensity sound waves to:
- Stimulate blood vessel regeneration and improve circulation.
- Break down existing scar tissue to reduce penile curvature.
- Enhance natural healing responses for long-term results.
Traction Therapy
For men in the chronic phase, traction therapy can help gradually improve curvature by applying controlled stretching forces over time. This method supports scar tissue remodelling and may help restore erectile function.
Electromagnetic Transduction Therapy (EMTT)
This advanced treatment helps promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation, making it beneficial for men experiencing painful erections or persistent discomfort.
NanoVi EXO and Near-Infrared Spectrum Therapy
These complementary therapies work at a cellular level to enhance the body’s natural ability to repair damaged tissue, further supporting improvements in erectile function and sexual health.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Can high blood pressure contribute to Peyronie’s disease?
Yes, Peyronie’s disease occurs more frequently in men with conditions that affect blood flow, such as high blood pressure. Poor circulation can impact erectile function and contribute to the formation of scar tissue, which may worsen penile curvature. Managing cardiovascular health and seeking treatment to treat high blood pressure may help reduce risks.
Is it possible to prevent Peyronie’s disease?
There is no guaranteed way to prevent Peyronie’s disease, but minimising penile trauma, maintaining healthy blood flow and addressing underlying health conditions can lower the risk. Wearing supportive clothing during physical activity and avoiding rough or excessive pressure during sex may also help.
How is Peyronie’s disease diagnosed?
A physical exam is often the first step in diagnosing Peyronie’s disease. A healthcare professional may assess the penile curvature by examining the affected area and may recommend ultrasound imageing to evaluate scar tissue and blood flow.
Are oral medicines effective for Peyronie’s disease?
Some oral medicines, such as anti-inflammatory drugs, may be prescribed during the acute phase to help manage pain. However, they do not reverse penile curvature or dissolve scar tissue, so they are usually combined with other treatments for better results.
What are the treatment options for severe cases of Peyronie’s disease?
For severe cases where penile curvature significantly affects sexual function, more intensive treatments may be required. These can include traction therapy, shockwave therapy, or, in rare cases, surgical treatments.
Are penile implants an option for Peyronie’s disease?
In cases where erectile dysfunction is severe and other treatments are ineffective, penile implants may be considered. However, this is a surgical treatment and is generally reserved for men who have exhausted all other options.
