Hi and welcome to MansMatters, the erectile dysfunction and Peyronie’s disease shockwave clinic. Today, I want to talk to you about Peyronie’s disease and injury.

Even a small injury to your penis can trigger Peyronie’s disease. You might not even realise that you’ve been injured at all. There are very few of us who have gone through life without experiencing the pain of being hit in our private parts. You could be struck by a cricket ball, football, or even incur a small injury while caring for your child in a playground. What might seem like an innocuous accident, such as being hit by a swing or being over-ambitious on a climbing frame, can turn into a life-changing event. This is especially true for the silent majority who go on to develop Peyronie’s disease and are too embarrassed to seek medical help.

As we get older, Peyronie’s disease is often caused by injury during sexual intercourse. Our ability to achieve and maintain a hard erection declines, as does our body’s ability to channel up to 20 times as much blood into the penis. The blood vessels that accommodate this blood flow become less effective, increasing the risk of injury. The result is that older men have sex with a less rigid penis, which creates a greater risk of accidental bending. This damage can lead to internal trauma, with microscopic bleeding and harm to the tissue, causing scarring and the early onset of Peyronie’s disease.

While this is a sensitive subject, we urge men to discuss this issue with their partners. There are measures that can significantly decrease the risk of injury and the subsequent onset of Peyronie’s disease. For men who have been cured of Peyronie’s disease through focused shockwave therapy, it is important to take steps to prevent a recurrence. Some things you can do include speaking with your partner so they are aware of the risks, considering taking freely available medications like Viagra, Cialis, or Levitra (which can help prevent injury) and discussing whether vaginal lubrication could be beneficial. Lubrication is available at any pharmacy, and it can help prevent the penis from slipping out during intercourse. Be careful when re-entering—take extra caution rather than being overzealous. You may also want to reconsider certain sexual positions, as the most vulnerable position for a man is when his female partner is on top. Injury is extremely likely, and if you have already suffered from Peyronie’s disease, there is a chance that you could trigger it again.

We understand that many of these recommendations are sensitive in nature. Our overall message is that you take more care and be cautious when engageing in sexual intercourse, especially when you’re middle-aged or older.

For those of you who are suffering from Peyronie’s disease and struggling with sexual intercourse, there is a solution called focused shockwave therapy. We have treated hundreds of men with Peyronie’s disease, and in over 90 percent of patients, we have straightened the penis and avoided the need for painful, invasive surgery.
