What Causes Peyronies disease?
It is associated with injury to the penis. Either through a single event such as the penis bending suddenly during sexual activity, or a series of small traumas to the penis over time.
This trauma may lead to abnormal healing and the formation of scar tissue called "plaque". This plaque affects the normal elasticity of the penis and leads to bending of the penis on erection.
Possible contributory factors include:
Injury during sexual activity
Repeated micro-traumas over a period of time
Genetic predisposition
Connective tissue disorders
Age-related changes
Attempts at sexual intercourse without full erection.
Can Peyronies disease be treated?
Yes, peyronies disease can be managed with non-surgical treatments or corrected with surgery, depending on severity. Treatment in Moorgate Andrology has a focus on making the penis straight and protecting penis length. Treatment for peyronies disease in the NHS is available usually beginning with conservative options such as vacuum pump therapy.
Peyronies disease : The Complete Guide
This page explains what peyronies disease is, what causes it, and the treatment options available.
Management depends on the severity of the symptoms and how the condition affects function.
When to consider treatment
The curvature affects sexual performance
Pain persists during erection
You notice your penis getting shorter
Symptoms are getting worse
You want to explore all options, surgical and non-surgical
What are the symptoms of peyronies disease?
Symptoms often include:
-
Noticeable penile curvature during erection
-
Pain or discomfort (especially in the early or “acute” phase)
-
Penile shortening (read our full article here about why the penis shortens in peyronies disease)
-
Erectile dysfunction
-
Difficulty with sexual intercourse
The condition typically progresses through two stages:
-
Acute Phase: Active inflammation, pain, and curvature changes.
-
Stable Phase: Pain usually settles, and curvature stabilises.
Who is suitable for peyronies disease surgery?
Surgical treatment is usually recommended in the following situations.
- Severe Curvature causing difficulty with sexual activity
- When the disease is in the stable phase
- When non-surgical management has not had the required improvement
- When erections are affected and non-surgical management of the ED has failed
Clinical evaluation
Peyronies disease is a very complex urological condition that requires careful assessment before embarking on any treatment.
At Moorgate Andrology, patients undergo detailed clinical evaluation to determine the stage of the disease and the most appropriate treatment approach, whether surgical or non-surgical.
When to seek medical advice
Patients should consider seeking medical advice if they notice;
Increasing curvature in the first few weeks
Pain during erection
Changes in penile shape or function
Erectile dysfunction
Difficulty with sexual intercourse

What results can be expected from peyronies disease surgery?
Surgery can straighten the penis and correct an hour glass deformity where present. At Moorgate Andrology, we offer procedures that not only correct the deformity, but also to protect penile length as much as possible.
The penis can be thickening with either a fat transfer or penis fillers. A fat transfer takes fat from the belly or the inner thighs (where the best quality fat it) and after purification, it is injected into the shaft to thicken it. This will thicken the penis between 2.5 and 5cm.
Another option to thicken the penis are penis fillers. These are temporary in nature and more expensive than a fat transfer over the medium to long term, but are performed on an outpatient basis rather than in hospital. Penis fillers work by the injection of hyaluronic acid into the shaft of the penis. The results are instant but slowly fade over 12 months to two years depending on the type of filler used.
What are the risks in peyronies disease ?
As with any medical condition and treatment, peyronies disease and its management involve potential risks.
These may include;
Progression of the curvature making sexual intercourse difficult or impossible
Erectile dysfunction alongside the disease
Recurrence after treatment (rare after surgery)
Surgical risks such as infection or changes in sensation.
The likelihood of these risks depends on individual factors , the stage of the condition, and the treatment approach.
A consultation is important to fully understand the potential outcomes

Peyronies disease treatment cost
The cost of peyronies disease treatment will depend on the type of treatment provided.
Surgically, the most common procedure provided at Moorgate Andrology is plaque incision and grafting surgery. This is a length-sparing procedure, unlike the nesbit procedure, which leads to penile shortening. In suitable cases this costs £ 12.995.
The stage procedure is a procedure to make the penis straight in cases of congenital penile curvature and more moderate cases of peyronies disease. Again, this is a length sparing procedure compared to the nesbit procedure, but does lead to some penile shortening. This procedure costs £7,995
Please ask the team if you need more information about finance options and ways to pay for your peyronies disease surgery.

The Stage Technique vs The Nesbit Procedure
The Stage Technique has significant advantages over traditional Peyronie’s disease treatment methods, such as the Nesbit procedure used by the NHS.
- High risk of penile length loss with Nesbit, minimal length loss with Stage.
- Higher risk of haematoma following Nesbit surgery. This risk is very low with the Stage Technique.
- There is a much lower risk of loss of glans sensitivity with the Stage Technique when compared to Nesbit.
- Much lower risk of recurrence of Peyronie’s disease with the Stage Technique.
- 99.1 % straightening rate with the Stage Technique compared to only 76.2% with the Nesbit procedure.
