Peyronie Disease (Penile Curvature) Treatment in Johor Bahru

Penyakit Peyronie (Kelengkungan Penis)

Peyronie disease is a condition in which fibrous scar tissue (plaques) develop inside the penis, causing it to curve abnormally during erection. This can result in painful erections, significant curvature making intercourse difficult or impossible, penile shortening, indentation, and erectile dysfunction. Peyronie disease affects approximately 1-9% of men, most commonly aged 40-70 years, though it can occur at any age. The exact cause is not fully understood but trauma to the erect penis — often during sexual intercourse — is thought to trigger abnormal healing with plaque formation in susceptible individuals.

Symptoms of Peyronie Disease (Penile Curvature)

Abnormal curvature of the erect penis — upward, downward, or sideways
Painful erections, particularly in the early (acute) phase
Palpable hard lump or plaque along the shaft of the penis
Penile shortening or narrowing (hourglass deformity)
Difficulty with penetration due to curvature or pain
Erectile dysfunction occurring alongside or following plaque development

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor if you notice penile curvature during erection, especially if it is new, progressive, or associated with pain or erectile dysfunction. Early assessment during the acute phase (first 6-18 months when the condition is still changing) is important as this is when treatment options including medication are most effective. Do not delay out of embarrassment.

Prevention Tips

1Avoid aggressive penile trauma during sexual activity — communicate with your partner
2Treat erectile dysfunction promptly as men compensating for ED are at higher risk of penile trauma
3There is no proven method to prevent Peyronie disease, but prompt treatment in the early phase can limit progression
4Maintain cardiovascular health — vascular factors worsen the erectile dysfunction associated with Peyronie disease
5Seek early assessment so treatment can be started during the acute, modifiable phase

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Peyronie disease go away on its own?
Approximately 10-15% of cases resolve spontaneously, but the majority either stabilise with some residual curvature or progress. The acute phase (pain and changing curvature) lasts 6-18 months before the disease typically stabilises. Early treatment during the acute phase offers the best chance of reducing curvature and plaque size. Our doctors at Klinik Muhibbah assess and manage Peyronie disease. Book at movo-x.com/kiosk/muhibbah.
Can Peyronie disease cause erectile dysfunction?
Yes. Peyronie disease causes erectile dysfunction through multiple mechanisms — the plaques can impair blood flow within the penis, the pain of erection can cause psychogenic erectile dysfunction, and penile shortening can cause anxiety affecting erection quality. Addressing both the plaque and the erectile dysfunction is important for comprehensive treatment.
Is surgery needed for Peyronie disease?
Surgery is reserved for men with stable Peyronie disease (not changing for at least 6 months) and significant curvature causing functional impairment. Surgical options include plication (shortening the longer side), incision or excision with grafting, or penile prosthesis insertion. Our doctors provide initial assessment and refer to a urologist for surgical evaluation when appropriate. Book at movo-x.com/kiosk/muhibbah.
