Many men delay seeking help for Peyronie’s disease because they assume the symptoms will go away on their own. Unfortunately, this can lead to a more severe curve or pain over time. Spotting the early signs is crucial for successful treatment.
Pain during erections: Often described as a dull ache or tightness along the shaft.
A small lump or nodule: This may be the first sign of scar tissue developing beneath the skin.
Slight curvature: Even a subtle bend can be an early warning.
Shortening or narrowing of the shaft: A change in shape may appear gradually.
Erectile difficulties: Some men experience reduced firmness or anxiety during intimacy.
During the early phase, known as the acute phase, Peyronie’s disease may still be evolving. Intervening early with treatments such as collagenase injections, shockwave therapy, or oral medication can often prevent further progression and reduce discomfort.
