Penile Curvature Treatment

Treatment for Peyronie's disease and congenital penile curvature

Penile curvature — whether caused by Peyronie's disease (scar tissue) or congenital curvature — can cause pain, erectile dysfunction and relationship difficulties. Treatment options range from collagenase injections (Xiaflex) and shockwave therapy to surgical correction for severe cases.

Early-stage Peyronie's responds well to medical and injection-based treatment; established stable disease may benefit from penile plication or grafting procedures, all of which are available through our urology team.

What to Expect

Urological Consultation

Curvature degree, plaque characteristics and erectile function assessed.

Imaging

Doppler ultrasound maps plaque location and penile vasculature.

Treatment

Shockwave, injection or surgical correction based on assessment.

Follow-Up

Progress monitored; outcome assessed at 3 and 6 months.

Recovery & Aftercare

Depends on treatment: non-surgical options require no downtime; surgical correction needs 2–4 weeks recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Peyronie's disease resolve on its own?

In a minority of cases, mild Peyronie's resolves spontaneously — most cases stabilise without significant improvement, making treatment advisable.

Is surgery always needed for penile curvature?

No — non-surgical options are very effective for mild to moderate curvature; surgery is reserved for severe curves or those not responding to medical treatment.
