Peyronies disease: symptoms and early detection

Introduction

Peyronie’s disease affects many men, but early detection can make treatment more effective. Recognising symptoms early allows for timely intervention and better outcomes.

Early Signs

• Penile curvature: Noticeable bending during erection

• Pain or discomfort: Especially during erections

• Lumps or plaques: Firm areas under the skin

• Shortening or narrowing of the penis

Who Is at Risk?

• Men over 40

• Men with a history of penile trauma

• Men with connective tissue disorders

Why Early Detection Matters

• Reduces progression of curvature

• Minimises potential erectile dysfunction

• Allows non-surgical treatments before severe deformity develops
