class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peyronie&#8217;s disease is scar tissue forming in the wall of the erectile bodies, producing a bend on erection, a palpable lump, and often pain. It was described by Fran\u00e7ois Gigot de la Peyronie in 1749, and men still find it as difficult to raise now as they did then \u2014 which is why the true prevalence is uncertain, with estimates ranging widely and the higher ones coming from anonymous self-report rather than examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The distress it causes is out of proportion to how it reads on paper, and that distress is a legitimate part of the condition rather than an overreaction to it. It frequently occurs alongside erectile dysfunction, and which of the two is the dominant problem changes the whole plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Urology center Bangkok hospital Thailand\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bangkokhospital.com\/en\/bangkok\/doctor\/dr-soarawee-weerasopone-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Booking online<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"tel:02-310-3009\">02-310-3009<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:bhquro@bdms.co.th\">bhquro@bdms.co.th<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Samitivej Sriracha hospital Chonburi&nbsp;<a href=\"tel:088-022-1445\">088-022-1445<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-attachment-id=\"3117\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/bn\/2021\/05\/21\/peyronies-disease\/keloid-ugly-women-arm-skin-scar-from-knife-cut-wound\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Scar.jpg?fit=1200%2C800&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Keloid. ugly women arm skin scar from knife cut wound&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Korn V.&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Keloid. ugly women arm skin scar from knife cut wound&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Peyronie disease of the penis is exactly the same causative like other skin scar.\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Peyronie disease of the penis is exactly the same causative like other skin scar.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Scar.jpg?fit=800%2C534&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Scar.jpg?resize=800%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Scar tissue formation, the same process that produces the plaque in Peyronie's disease\" class=\"wp-image-3117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Scar.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Scar.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Scar.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Scar.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Scar.jpg?resize=16%2C12&amp;ssl=1 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The same scarring process that happens elsewhere in the body \u2014 here in the wall of the erectile tissue.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The two phases, and why they decide everything<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The active phase<\/strong>, usually the first six to eighteen months.

Also perineal trauma and, occasionally, instrumentation.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Connective tissue conditions<\/strong>, particularly <strong>Dupuytren&#8217;s contracture<\/strong> of the hand, which shares the same scarring behaviour and is worth asking about.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Family history<\/strong>, which appears to increase susceptibility after injury.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Diabetes<\/strong>, which impairs healing generally and is reported more often in men with the condition.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Low testosterone<\/strong> \u2014 <em>inconsistently<\/em> reported alongside more significant disease. A systematic review of six studies found five supporting an association and one finding none, and studies since then still disagree. It is worth measuring, for the reason given in the next section, but it is not an established cause.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Smoking, alcohol and increasing age<\/strong> \u2014 associations rather than established causes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The earlier version gave a five-fold figure for diabetes and a precise testosterone threshold. Those have been softened to the direction of the association, which is what the data supports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A correction: the oral supplements are not recommended<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the most important change to this page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The earlier version stated that <strong>NSAIDs, oral vitamin E and omega-3 are recommended per American Urological Association guidelines<\/strong>, with a photograph captioned to the effect that oral medications show benefit. <strong>The guideline says the opposite.<\/strong> Oral vitamin E and omega-3 are among the treatments urologists are advised <em>not<\/em> to offer for Peyronie&#8217;s disease, because trials found them no better than placebo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That statement has been removed. It matters beyond the supplements themselves: a man who takes vitamin E for a year in the belief that it is guideline-recommended has spent the window in which the disease was still modifiable doing nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simple painkillers for pain during the active phase remain reasonable. That is pain relief, not treatment of the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-attachment-id=\"3119\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/bn\/2021\/05\/21\/peyronies-disease\/take-tablet\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Take-tablet.jpg?fit=1200%2C800&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 5D Mark III&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1535200187&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;35&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;640&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.008&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Oral medications show some benefit on the Peyronie disease treatment.\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Oral medications show some benefit on the Peyronie disease treatment.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Take-tablet.jpg?fit=800%2C534&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Take-tablet.jpg?resize=800%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Oral supplement tablets, which are not recommended for treating Peyronie's disease\" class=\"wp-image-3119\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Take-tablet.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Take-tablet.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Take-tablet.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Take-tablet.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Take-tablet.jpg?resize=16%2C12&amp;ssl=1 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Oral vitamin E and omega-3 are among the treatments guidelines advise against for this condition.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Low testosterone: what it does and does not change<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This section is new, and it exists because the obvious inference from the risk list above turns out to be wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If low testosterone travels with more significant Peyronie&#8217;s disease, it seems natural to conclude that correcting it should help the curvature. <strong>There is no established evidence that it does.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most directly relevant work is a 2026 multicentre analysis in <em>The Journal of Sexual Medicine<\/em> from the group I worked with at Baylor College of Medicine, looking at men treated with collagenase injections. Men with testosterone deficiency saw <strong>less improvement in curvature<\/strong> than men without it \u2014 and, importantly, <strong>giving testosterone therapy did not change that<\/strong>: among the deficient men, those who received it did no better than those who did not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two practical points follow, and they pull in different directions, which is why it is worth measuring testosterone rather than ignoring it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>It is useful for setting expectations.<\/strong> A man with low testosterone considering a course of collagenase should know that his likely gain in straightness is smaller, before he commits to months of injections.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>It is not a reason to start testosterone in the hope of straightening the penis.<\/strong> Testosterone therapy is treatment for symptomatic testosterone deficiency on its own merits \u2014 low libido, fatigue, erectile symptoms \u2014 and it carries its own trade-offs, including suppression of sperm production. Those merits are the reason to consider it, discussed in <a href=\"https:\/\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/2026\/04\/28\/low-testosterone-2024-guide\/\">low testosterone: what the evidence actually supports<\/a>. Curvature is not.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does address the curvature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Injection into the plaque.<\/strong> <strong>Collagenase<\/strong> has the best evidence for reducing curvature in stable disease within a defined range of severity; other injectable agents have weaker support. This is a course of treatment over months rather than a single procedure, and as above, a low testosterone level predicts a smaller gain.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Traction therapy<\/strong>, which was absent from the earlier version. It demands real persistence \u2014 hours a day over months \u2014 and is often combined with injection rather than used alone.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Surgery<\/strong> in stable disease: shortening the opposite side, or grafting the affected side. It is the most reliable way to straighten, and its trade-offs are real \u2014 <strong>loss of length, altered sensation, and a risk to erectile function<\/strong>, particularly with grafting.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>A penile implant<\/strong>, where erectile dysfunction and curvature coexist and the erection is the limiting problem \u2014 this addresses both at once and is often the right answer for that man rather than a last resort.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Shockwave therapy<\/strong> has a place, and it is a narrow one: <a href=\"https:\/\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/2023\/03\/25\/extracorporeal-shockwave-therapy\/\">it may relieve penile pain but is not used to reduce curvature<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which applies depends on the phase, the degree and direction of the bend, whether erections are adequate, and what actually bothers you \u2014 a man untroubled by a modest bend needs no correction at all. Assessment involves examining the penis both flaccid and erect and measuring the curvature, since a described bend and a measured one are frequently different.

Will treating it straighten the bend?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No \u2014 there is no established evidence that it does. A 2026 multicentre study of men treated with collagenase found that those with testosterone deficiency improved less than those without, and that giving testosterone therapy did not change that outcome. The level is still worth measuring, because it helps set realistic expectations before committing to months of injections. But testosterone therapy is considered on its own merits \u2014 symptomatic deficiency with low libido, fatigue or erectile symptoms \u2014 and not as a treatment for curvature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When can I have surgery?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the deformity has been stable and pain-free for several months, conventionally with around a year having passed since onset. Operating while the curvature is still changing gives an unreliable result. The trade-offs \u2014 length, sensation, and a risk to erectile function \u2014 are discussed beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I have curvature and poor erections. Which is treated first?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are considered together, because straightening a penis that will not become rigid does not solve the problem. Where erectile dysfunction is the limiting factor, a penile implant addresses both at once, and for that man it is the appropriate operation rather than a last resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does it turn into cancer?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Peyronie&#8217;s disease is a scarring condition and is not malignant. A lump that ulcerates, bleeds or grows quickly is behaving differently and should be examined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will any treatment make it exactly as it was?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, and it is better to hear that early. The realistic aim is a penis straight enough for satisfactory intercourse, with pain resolved and adequate erections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arranging a consultation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Soarawee Weerasopone completed an andrology fellowship at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital Kaohsiung, Taiwan, where Peyronie&#8217;s disease and penile prosthetic surgery formed a substantial part of the training. He sees patients at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bangkokhospital.com\/en\/bangkok\/doctor\/dr-soarawee-weerasopone-2\">Bangkok Hospital Headquarters<\/a> and at Samitivej Sriracha Hospital in Chonburi on <a href=\"tel:0880221445\">088-022-1445<\/a>. It helps to note roughly when the bend started and whether it is still changing \u2014 that, more than anything, determines what can be offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bangkok Hospital Telemedicine is available for patients who cannot attend in person, including international patients \u2014 arrange it in advance by email to the Urology department at <a href=\"mailto:bhquro@bdms.co.th\">bhquro@bdms.co.th<\/a>. Assessment requires examining the penis both flaccid and erect, so an in-person visit is needed before treatment is planned. Samitivej Sriracha is in-person only. Enquiries about cost are answered by the hospital, not by this website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">References<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hernandez BS, Walia A, Coady P, et al.
