A typical injection therapy protocol involves 6-12 treatments spaced over several weeks. Shockwave therapy usually requires 6 sessions. Your treatment plan is customized based on the severity of curvature and plaque characteristics.

Injection therapy involves minimal discomfort—a topical anesthetic is applied before treatment. Shockwave therapy is painless. Most patients describe treatments as very tolerable, and no downtime is required afterward.

We offer a multi-modal approach including intralesional injection therapy (Verapamil) to soften plaque and reduce curvature, shockwave therapy to break down scar tissue, and penile traction devices. For severe cases, we can refer to trusted surgical partners.

In some cases, mild Peyronie’s may stabilize or slightly improve without treatment. However, most cases require intervention to prevent progression. Early treatment during the “acute phase” (first 12-18 months) often yields better outcomes than waiting.

The exact cause isn’t fully understood, but it’s often linked to repeated minor injury to the penis during sex or physical activity. Genetics, certain connective tissue disorders, and age (most common in men 40-70) are also risk factors.

Peyronie’s disease is a condition where fibrous scar tissue (plaque) develops inside the penis, causing curved, painful erections. It can make sexual intercourse difficult or impossible and often causes significant psychological distress. It affects approximately 1 in 10 men.
