Peyronie’s disease is more common than many men realise, yet it’s often misunderstood or left untreated. At Moorgate Andrology, we help men across the UK manage this condition and restore both physical comfort and sexual confidence.
Knowing the early symptoms — and when to see a specialist — can make a huge difference to your treatment outcome.
Peyronie’s disease occurs when scar tissue (known as a plaque) develops inside the penis, causing it to bend or curve during an erection. This can make intercourse uncomfortable or even painful.
The condition can appear suddenly or develop gradually over time. It often begins after minor trauma or repeated bending during sexual activity, though in many cases, no clear cause is identified.
Men with Peyronie’s disease may notice:
A bend or curve in the penis when erect
Pain during erections
A hard lump or thickened area under the skin
Shortening or loss of length in the penis
Difficulty maintaining or achieving an erection
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to speak to a qualified specialist. Early intervention can often prevent the condition from worsening.
You should book an appointment with a urology specialist if:
You notice a new or worsening curve
Erections have become painful
Sexual intercourse is difficult or impossible
The condition is causing emotional distress or relationship problems
At Moorgate Andrology, our experts can assess your condition through physical examination and ultrasound imaging, helping determine the stage and severity of the disease.
Treatment depends on the stage of Peyronie’s disease.
In the acute phase (when the curve is still changing or painful), non-surgical treatments like medication or traction therapy may be effective.
In the chronic phase, when the condition has stabilised, surgical correction may be recommended to restore straightness and function.
Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual, ensuring the best possible outcome.
Our specialists are highly experienced in diagnosing and treating Peyronie’s disease. We provide confidential, professional care in a supportive environment — and we’re one of the few UK centres offering both surgical and non-surgical options under one roof.
If you’re concerned about Peyronie’s disease, don’t wait. Early diagnosis and treatment can make all the difference.
