What is Peyronies disease ?
Peyronies disease is a Urological condition caused by the formation of fibrous scar tissue ( plaques) within the penis.
This scar tissue does not stretch normally, which can result in curvature of the penis on erection, penile shortening, and penile deformity.#
This condition can vary greatly in severity and may affect both function and quality of life, making Specialist assessment very important.
It can develop gradually and early assessment by a Specialist improves outcomes
What Causes Peyronies Disease ?
The excct causes of peyronies disease is unclear.
It is commonly associated with injury of 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 a 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.

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.

Peyronies disease symptoms
Symptoms often include:
-
Noticeable penile curvature during erection
-
Pain or discomfort (especially in the early or “acute” phase)
-
Penile shortening
-
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.
Treatment Overview
Treatment depends on the stage and severity of the condition.
Options may include:
- Observation and monitoring
- Non-surgical treatments
- Surgical correction for more severe cases
A structured assessment is required to determine the most appropriate apporach
Treatment Options for Peyronie’s Disease
At Moorgate Andrology, we offer a comprehensive choice of treatments to suit your stage and severity of disease.
Non-Surgical Options
If you’re in the early or “acute” phase, conservative therapies can help reduce pain and inflammation and may prevent further curvature:
SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
-
Shockwave Therapy for Peyronie’s Disease – a gentle, non-invasive treatment that helps relieve
-
pain and stimulate natural healing.
-
PLATLET-RICH-PLASMA THERAPY
-
PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma) – uses your own blood platelets to promote tissue repair and reduce plaque activity. A regenerative therapy that may support healing.
-
INJECTION THERAPY
-
Non surgical injections
– medical injections that soften plaques and can improve curvature in select cases. A minimally invasive therapy that softens scar tissue. -
TRACTION THERAPY
- Helps stretch tissue gently over time and may improve curvature in some cases.

Surgical Correction
When non-surgical options are insufficient, surgery may be recommended.
Tunical plication
Grafting techniques
Penile Prosthesis. ( in select cases )
Surgery is tailored based on curvature degree and functional goals
Plaque Incision and Grafting
Plaque Incision and Grafting Surgery – our preferred length-preserving technique, suitable for moderate to severe curvature. This advanced procedure releases the plaque and inserts a graft to straighten the penis while maintaining length. Learn MoreThe Stage Technique
Nesbit Procedure with penile lengthening
Nesbit Procedure – a traditional corrective surgery that shortens the longer side of the penis to achieve straightening. Usually recommended for mild to moderate curvature. Now available with penile lengthening at the same time. Not available on the NHS.

When to seek medical advice
Patients should consider seeking medical advice if they start to notice;
Increasing curvature in the first few weeks
Pain during erection
Changes in penile shape or function
Erectile dysfunction
What results can be expected ?
Treatment aims to improve curvature and restore function.
Outcomes vary depending on the severity of the condition and the treatment performed
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.
Risks and Considerations
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 chances of these risks depend on individual factors , the stage of the condition, and the treatment approach.
A consultation is important to fully understand the potential outcomes
Alternative and related treatments
Many men choose to combine Peyronie’s surgery with other penile enhancement procedures such as:
-
Penis Enlargement Surgery – for men seeking to restore or improve penile length and girth.
-
Circumcision – often performed at the same time if foreskin tightness is an issue.
-
Scrotoplasty – for cosmetic improvement of the scrotal area.
This combined approach allows for optimal aesthetic and functional results under one surgical plan.
For men with a milder curvature (up to 40°), our Nesbit procedure with ligament release offers a lower-risk alternative to grafting. Discover how this new option works ›
Sometimes patients present with other functional concerns such as difficulties associated with the penis being too large, they seek penis reduction surgery to improve form and function

FAQ’s
In most cases, it does not. Early intervention can help prevent worsening curvature and preserve penile length.
Most men return to light activities within a week and sexual activity after 6–8 week
With traditional Nesbit surgery, some shortening can occur. However, Plaque Incision and Grafting is designed to preserve length wherever possible.
Non-surgical treatments such as PRP and Shockwave Therapy are very well tolerated with minimal discomfort.

urgery is advised in the stable phase of Peyronie’s disease with significant curvature or functional issues. Non-surgical options such as PRP therapy or shockwave therapy are ideal in early or mild cases.
Yes, some men choose to combine treatments for both curvature correction and girth/length enhancement. Speak to our surgeons to discuss options: Penis Enlargement Surgery.
Plaque incision & grafting has high success for curvature correction with minimal shortening when performed by expert surgeons. Risks include temporary swelling, bruising, or mild erectile changes. Read more.
The nesbit with penile lengthening offers something that is not available on the NHS. For cases of peyronies disease with curvature of 40 degrees of less, this offers a solution to make the penis straight and protect some penis length.
If you have a curvature of 40 degrees or less, then the nesbit combined with penile lengthening can be an excellent choice. If your curvature is more than 40 degrees then the plaque incision and grafting may be more appropriate. At your consultation our Urologists will assess your curvature and advise you of the best approach for the best outcome.
You will need to avoid sexual activity for six weeks. Most men return to work after one week.
NHS procedures for peyronies disease focus on making the penis straight again, usually with the nesbit procedure. Additonal
The best treatment for peyronies disease depends on the individual and the severity o the condition
Peyronies disease is a condition caused by the development of fibrous scar tissue within the penis.
This scar tissue leads to penile curvature on erection, deformity and shortening.
No. Many cases can be managed without surgery depending on the severity
The condition is often associated with injury to the penis. This may come from sudden bending of the penis during sexual activity, or a series of micro-traumas over time. Other factors may include age, connective tissue disease and genetics.
Risks may include infection, changes in sensation, recurrence, erectile dysfunction, depending on the procedure.
Patients should seek advice when they notice a curvature of the penis. Any pain on erection and changes in penile shape or function.
Peyronies disease is thought to be caused by injury to the penis , either in a sudden event or series of micro-traumas over time. Scar tissue forms in the penis causing bending on erection and penile deformity
In some cases it can, in mild cases. in severe cases treatment will be required to make the penis functionally straight
Surgical procedures are suitable for cases of severe curvature, while non-surgical procedures can be an option in early stages of the disease and mild cases of curvature
Most patients return to work after one to two weeks. Full recovery takes up to six weeks during which you should avoid all sexual activity and strenuous exercise.
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.
Lets start by saying that most men who come to Moorgate Andrology for penis enlargement, have , statistically, a normal size penis.
The desire to have a larger penis seems to have gained popularity in recent years. More men are having cosmetic surgery than ever before, and perhaps penis enlargement is just one of the procedures that have captured the imagination of men looking to get the body and looks that they want.
The average erect length of the human penis is approximately 5.1 inches long and average erect girth is 4.5 inches. It should be noted that the flaccid length of the penis can sometimes bear little resemblance to the erect length of the penis. Men with a relatively short flaccid penis can have a perfectly average penis on erection, whilst others seem to grow little from the flaccid to the erect state.
Many men choose to have their penis lengthened because they see their friends and gym colleagues with a longer penis than their own. This can lead to a feeling of inadequacy and a reluctance to participate in sporting activities or undress in front of other men , or women.
An interesting fact to know is that the stretched length of the flaccid human penis also correlates with the erect length.
It should be remembered that when measuring your penis you should do this in the same conditions each time. This is because certain factors can influence the size of your penis. For example room temperature, anxiety levels, the time of the day and state of sexual arousal.
Men can take some comfort in that they have the thickest penis of all primates. Studies in the USA have concluded that women seem to prefer a thicker penis to a longer penis, and that penis size overall has a bearing on sexual satisfaction.
At Moorgate Andrology almost all men choose to have their penis made thicker , either by penis girth fat transfer or penis fillers. Theories abound about why women prefer a thicker penis but many believe that it is due to the increase in the vaginal canal size over time, to accommodate the larger newborn baby’s skull. It is thought that women may have chosen men with larger penises to accommodate their vaginal size.
It may interest you to know that in polls most women underestimate their partners penis size.
