Private peyronie's disease clinic in London, same-day men's health.
Peyronie's disease is scar tissue forming in the penis, causing curvature, shortening, lumps and often pain. It affects roughly one in twenty men and is far more common than the silence around it suggests. Timing matters: what helps in the early phase is different from what helps once it has stabilised. Our private men's health clinic in East London offers same-day peyronie's disease assessment with a private men's health specialist, diagnosis and a clear treatment plan — usually without a referral and often the same day.

What is peyronie's disease?
Peyronie's disease is scar tissue forming in the penis, causing curvature, shortening, lumps and often pain. It affects roughly one in twenty men and is far more common than the silence around it suggests. Timing matters: what helps in the early phase is different from what helps once it has stabilised.

Understanding peyronie's disease
Peyronie's disease: symptoms, causes, tests & treatment
Seek urgent assessment if you have
- an erection lasting more than four hours that is painful
- sudden severe pain with bruising and a popping sound during intercourse — this may be a penile fracture and is a surgical emergency
- inability to pass urine
- a rapidly growing lump, or an ulcerating area
- curvature developing suddenly in a young man, which needs a different assessment
Penile fracture requires surgery within hours to preserve function. Priapism — a prolonged painful erection — causes permanent damage if untreated. Both are emergencies. In an emergency call 999, or go to the Royal London Hospital Emergency Department, Whitechapel Road, London E1 1FR.
The two phases
In the active phase the plaque is forming: there is often pain with erections, and the curvature changes over weeks. Surgery is avoided here because the shape is still moving. In the stable phase pain has gone and the curve has not changed for several months — this is when definitive correction is considered.
What you may notice
- a bend when erect — upward, downward or to one side
- a firm lump or band under the skin of the shaft
- pain with erections, particularly early on
- shortening, narrowing, or an hourglass or hinge deformity
- difficulty with penetration, and erectile difficulty in a substantial proportion of men
Causes and associations
Usually repeated minor injury during intercourse that heals with scar rather than normal tissue — often with no memorable single incident. It is more common with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, and after prostate surgery. It is associated with Dupuytren's contracture of the hand, which shares the same underlying tendency. It is not caused by anything you did wrong, and it is not sexually transmitted.
Treatment
- In the active phase — pain control, and treatment aimed at limiting progression. Around one in eight men improve without any treatment; most stabilise rather than resolve.
- Traction and vacuum devices, used consistently over months, have reasonable evidence for maintaining or improving length and reducing curvature.
- Shockwave therapy is used principally for pain relief in the active phase; it does not reliably straighten the curve.
- Injectable treatments into the plaque are available in specialist practice.
- Surgery in the stable phase — several techniques, chosen according to the degree of curve and erectile function. Highly effective for correcting the bend.
- Treating erectile dysfunction alongside, which is present in a large proportion of men and affects satisfaction more than the curve itself in some cases.
The part that matters most
Peyronie's has a substantial psychological impact — distress, embarrassment, avoidance of relationships and depression are common and are strongly associated with how much it bothers a man rather than with the size of the curve. Partners are often far less troubled by it than the man expects. Psychosexual input, alone or alongside physical treatment, makes a real difference and is not an admission that the problem is in your head.
