Peyronie’s disease can be a distressing condition, often causing pain, penile curvature, and anxiety about sexual function. One of the most common questions men ask is whether Peyronie’s disease will go away without treatment.
In the early stages, Peyronie’s disease may seem unpredictable. Some men experience a mild bend that stabilises or slightly improves, while others find that the curvature progresses over time. Unfortunately, in most cases, Peyronie’s disease does not disappear completely without medical intervention.
This condition develops due to scar tissue (plaque) forming within the shaft. Once this plaque hardens, it tends not to dissolve on its own. In mild cases, the curvature may remain stable, causing little discomfort — but for most men, the curvature either worsens or leads to sexual difficulties.
At Moorgate Andrology, our specialists offer a variety of treatments tailored to the stage and severity of your Peyronie’s disease. These include:
Non-surgical therapies such as collagenase injections or shockwave therapy
Surgical correction for advanced cases, including plaque incision and grafting or the Nesbit procedure
Emotional support and counselling, as Peyronie’s can significantly affect self-esteem and relationships
If you notice curvature or pain, it’s best to seek early evaluation. The sooner treatment begins, the better the long-term results.
Takeaway:
While Peyronie’s disease rarely goes away on its own, many effective treatments can reduce curvature, relieve pain, and restore confidence.
