Peyronie’s Disease is One of the Most Common Causes of Penile Shortening in Men
Short Penis Peyronie’s
Peyronie’s disease often leads to loss of penis length. It is one of the more common complaints from men affected by Peyronie’s disease that ‘the penis is shorter than before‘.
Often, penile shortening is accompanied by other symptoms of Peyronie’s disease such as penile curvature, erectile dysfunction, and penile plaque.
Occasionally, loss of penile length may be the first symptom of Peyronie’s disease. In some men, loss of penis length is the only manifestation of Peyronie’s disease, especially in men with pre-existing erectile dysfunction.
What are the Causes of Penile Shortening in Men with Peyronie’s Disease?
Scar formation in the penis leads to loss of elasticity and stretchability of the penis. In addition, scar formation pulls on the tissue and shortens it during the process called ‘scar contraction‘.
It is also important to know that obesity can make the penis appear shorter than it is (buried penis). With age, tissues become less elastic and the penis may become shorter in particular in men with erectile dysfunction who are not getting full erections regularly.
Many men experience penile shortening after prostate surgery for prostate cancer.

What are the Treatment Options for Loss of Penis Length Caused by Peyronie’s?
Treatment is aimed at getting Peyronie’s under control. Traction devices for Peyronie’s disease are effective in regaining some length and in preventing further loss of penile length. Penile traction therapy needs to be used for prolonged periods, depending on the device it needs to be used 1-8 hours a day for >6 months to attain a benefit. Treatment of erectile dysfunction may also be beneficial.
Correction of penile curvature may also restore some of the functional length of the penis. Plaque excision with grafting may allow restoration of a penile length over time. Penile lengthening procedures have been reported in urological literature but associated with a risk of penile loss.
Penile Traction Therapy: First-Line Treatment for Penile Length Loss
Penile traction therapy has been shown to help men regain 1/2-1 inch of penile length. It is important to know that penile traction therapy takes many months to work and requires prolonged use daily.
Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction: Maintenance of Erections is Important for Maintaining Penile Length
In men with poor erection quality, the treatment of erectile dysfunction is important in order to maintain penile length. Treatment may include medications such as Viagra or Cialis, VED (vacuum erection device), or penile injections.
A penile implant is an effective treatment option for men with severe ED and Peyronie’s disease.
