Your Guide to Peyronie’s Disease
Understanding, Treating, and Managing Peyronie’s at Lowcountry Male
Let’s be real—talking about Peyronie’s Disease isn’t easy. But if you’re dealing with painful, curved, or bent erections, you’re not alone. Peyronie’s affects up to 10% of men, especially over age 40, and while it can mess with your confidence and sex life, the good news is: it’s treatable.
At Lowcountry Male, we offer cutting-edge therapies like the D-Wave (focused shockwave therapy) and the P-Shot (platelet-rich plasma) to help break down scar tissue, restore blood flow, and get things working the way they should.
What is Peyronie’s Disease?
Peyronie’s Disease happens when scar tissue (called plaques) forms under the skin of the penis. This can cause the penis to bend or curve, especially during an erection. For some guys, it just looks different—others experience pain, erectile dysfunction, or even trouble having sex altogether.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, Peyronie’s Disease affects about 1 in 10 men, though many don’t talk about it or seek help. The exact cause isn’t always clear, but minor trauma (even unnoticed) during sex is believed to play a big role.
Who Gets It?
Most commonly, Peyronie’s Disease shows up in:
-
- Penile trauma or injury
- Connective tissue disorders (e.g., Dupuytren’s contracture)
- Family history of Peyronie’s Disease
- Certain health conditions, like diabetes or erectile dysfunction
Symptoms to Watch For
Symptoms can range from mild to pretty disruptive:
-
- Noticeable bend or curve in the penis during erection
- Lumps or hardened tissue under the skin
- Painful erections
- Erectile dysfunction or difficulty with penetration
- Penile shortening or narrowing
If you’re seeing changes down there, don’t wait—early treatment can make a big difference.
How We Treat Peyronie’s at Lowcountry Male
D-Wave (Shockwave Therapy)
This non-invasive treatment uses low-intensity acoustic waves to:
-
- Break down fibrous plaques
- Stimulate blood flow
- Reduce pain and improve erectile function
A recent study published in Sexual Medicine Reviews showed that shockwave therapy improved penile curvature and sexual satisfaction in many men with Peyronie’s Disease
P-Shot (Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection)
The P-Shot uses your own blood—specifically, platelet-rich plasma (PRP)—to:
-
- Encourage tissue regeneration
- Increase sensitivity and circulation
- Support natural healing of damaged tissue
Many men report improvement in both curvature and performance after just a few sessions.

Peyronie’s Disease Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is Peyronie’s Disease permanent?
Not always. In some cases, the curvature stabilizes or even improves over time. But without treatment, it can get worse. That’s why early intervention matters.
Is some curvature in the penis normal, or is it always Peyronie’s Disease?
Yes, some natural curvature is completely normal. No two penises are exactly alike, and a slight curve—especially one that’s been there your whole life—is usually nothing to worry about. But if the bend is new, getting worse, causing pain, or making sex difficult, it could be Peyronie’s Disease.
Can Peyronie’s go away on its own?
Rarely. Mild cases might improve a bit, but most men need medical treatment, especially if it’s affecting sex or causing pain.
How effective is shockwave therapy for Peyronie’s?
Studies suggest 70-80% of men experience improvement in pain or curvature when using focused shockwave therapy.
Does the P-Shot hurt?
How long until I see results?
Is Peyronie’s disease linked to ED (erectile dysfunction)?
Yes. The scar tissue can restrict blood flow and make it harder to get or keep an erection. That’s why we often treat both together.
