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 smoking. Smokers have been bombarded with health warnings for so long that many have become numb to these dire messages. It also seems like everyone has an anecdote of someone who smoked 30 cigarettes a day, lived to 90, and never had a health problem. But while there is a lot of talk about the effects of smoking on your heart and lungs, very little is discussed about the dramatic link between even moderate smoking and Peyronie’s disease.
People who smoke, even moderately, are much more likely to develop Peyronie’s disease and erectile dysfunction. And if they do develop these conditions, they tend to experience them at a much earlier age. Many of the conditions exacerbated by smoking play a key role in the onset of Peyronie’s disease. These include diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and constricted blood flow.
So, let’s consider what happens when you fully inhale a cigarette. With just one puff, around 5,000 alien chemical substances enter your body. Within less than 10 seconds, these substances enter your bloodstream, and nicotine triggers dopamine and endorphins, creating a pleasurable buzz in your brain. However, the pleasure is balanced by the havoc caused elsewhere in your bloodstream—not just in your penis, but throughout your entire body.
Your body contains a network of millions of blood vessels, which carry vital nutrients to feed your organs. These blood vessels also play a pivotal role in achieving and maintaining erections. Healthy blood vessels expand and contract to allow a rush of blood into the penis, making it hard. With Peyronie’s disease, fibrous plaque starts to develop in the outer area of the penis. Nicotine and other chemicals from smoking damage the endothelium lining of each blood vessel, causing them to harden and thicken, restricting their ability to expand and contract. These chemicals also cause blood vessels to narrow, leading to plaque and blockages.
Without fully functioning blood vessels in your penis, Peyronie’s disease will worsen your ability to have a substantial erection. The curvature will continue to worsen until penetrative sex becomes impossible.
The good news for smokers is that the body is incredibly resilient. While long-term damage can be done, the body fights to recover within hours of quitting smoking for good. The average smoker tries to quit around 10 times before finally succeeding. If you are a past quitter who hasn’t quite succeeded, hopefully, this video will provide the extra encouragement you need to quit for good.
For men who have quit smoking but still suffer from Peyronie’s disease or erectile dysfunction, focused shockwave therapy is a proven method to repair and regenerate new blood vessels, rejuvenate nerve tissue, and help restore sexual function. In over 90 percent of patients we’ve treated with focused shockwave therapy, we’ve been able to straighten the penis and avoid the need for painful invasive surgery.
