Peyronie’s Disease: What You Need to Know.

Peyronie's Disease

Peyronie’s Disease

Peyronie’s disease is a significant medical problem that affects men.  It can cause curvature of the penis, pain in the penis, shortening of the penis, narrowing of the penis, and erectile dysfunction (difficulty obtaining or maintaining erections, loss of erection hardness).

Penile curvature is usually up or to the side but may also point down or be ‘corkscrew’.

Peyronie’s disease may also cause a palpable ‘nodule’ or hard mass in the penis often called “Peyronie’s plaque“. Peyronie’s disease can cause a narrowing of the penile shaft with a constricting band or waist, which is often called “hourglass appearance”.

The severity of Peyronie’s usually corresponds to the angle of curvature with >30 degrees curvature more likely to cause typical Peyronie’s symptoms.  View images of Peyronie’s disease.

What are the Most Common Symptoms of Peyronie’s Disease

Any of the symptoms below may be an indication of Peyronie’s disease. While many patients may have more than one symptom, some may only show one of the symptoms below and not others.

What are the Treatment Options for Peyronie’s Disease Offered at New York Urology Specialists?

What to Expect: Your First Visit to New York Urology Specialists for Treatment of Peyronie’s disease

You can expect to have a thorough examination.  We will obtain your past medical history.  Treatment approaches will be discussed based on your particular circumstances.   A Penile Doppler ultrasound of the penis will be scheduled to evaluate the extent of the plaque as well as vascular function.  Measurements of penile curvature will be obtained, and scar tissue in the penis will be evaluated.

Peyronie’s Disease Classification: Acute and Stable Phase

Peyronie’s disease has traditionally been classified into two stages: the active phase and the stable phase.  The relevance of this classification is that surgical treatment is not advisable during the “active phase” of the disease but there are some exceptions.  

The first phase is called the acute or active stage and refers to the first 12-18 months after the appearance of symptoms or curvature.  During this phase, the disease process is evolving. In some men with active phase disease, the disease occasionally can go away spontaneously (this happens in 10-15% of men – but may be an illusion in some cases); however, more commonly disease progresses and gets worse.  Thus early evaluation and initiation of treatment are advised to limit disease severity.  Appropriate treatment options during the active phase of Peyronie’s disease include penile traction therapy and injection therapy.

The second stage of the disease is called the chronic or stable phase. This usually refers to a disease that has stabilized after the initial 12-18 months after the appearance of symptoms or with at least 6 months of no change in symptoms.  It is unlikely that symptoms improve spontaneously in men with a stable disease however, the curvature and symptoms may get worse.

Penile Ultrasound – Important Diagnostic Test for Men with Peyronie’s Disease

While the diagnosis of Peyronie’s disease can be made from history – based on the presence of curvature and/or pain in the penis, it is important to establish an objective diagnosis with objective measurement of the curvature and measurement of the plaque size to track the progress of disease and success of treatment.

Penile ultrasound with a Doppler study after injection of medications to produce an artificial erection is performed by urologists specializing in Peyronie’s disease.  This test is performed in our offices and may take 1-2 hours to perform.

If I Have Bent Penis, Do I Have Peyronie’s Disease?

There are a number of causes that lead to penile curvature, Peyronie’s disease is one of the most common causes but you may also have a curved penis caused by one of the other causes of penile curvature, which include:

  • Congenital chordee
  • Frenulum breve
  • Penile malformation
  • Skin tethering

Care at NY Urology Specialists
by on Jul 06, 2019

I am a 54 year-old male who is extremely happy with my care at New York Urology Specialists. I came to see Dr. Alex out of near desperation after consulting with three other urologists. Literally over one night, I began experiencing severe penile pain and burning. None of the other urologists were able to help diagnose what my problem was and seemingly didn't take my problem very seriously. In fact, one of them specifically told me at it had nothing to do with my prostate. After 6 weeks of suffering, I saw Dr. Alex. He examined me and gave me some tests and lab work. He very quickly ascertained that my problem was due to an enlarged prostate. He proscribed medicine to deal with my pain in the short-term and keep my prostate size in check over the long-term. My problem quickly disappeared. Today, 5 years later, I feel great. Dr, Alex listens to you as a patient, takes your opinion and health concerns seriously and knows his field inside-and-out so that you can get proper treatment for your problem. I can't thank him enough for diagnosing and solving my malady - you sometimes can't appreciate a problem until you have it. Getting rid of it and getting back to normal is so important - I am so glad that I saw Dr. Alex for my problem.
