About Peyronie’s disease (curved penis)
Peyronie’s disease usually affects men between 40 and 60. A plaque of scar tissue forms in the tunica albuginea, the sheath of the penis, and does not stretch during an erection, so the penis bends toward the plaque. It often begins after minor, unnoticed injury during intercourse in men who are prone to abnormal scarring.
There is an early, active phase with pain and changing curvature (the first 6 to 18 months), followed by a stable phase. Treatment depends on the phase and severity and includes observation, medicines, injections, traction and surgery. A urologist should assess the curvature, plaque and erectile function.
Common symptoms of Peyronie’s disease (curved penis)
Symptoms vary from person to person. Common ones include:
- A curve or bend of the erect penis
- A palpable hard lump or band on the shaft
- Pain with erections in the early phase
- Shortening of the penis
- Narrowing or an hourglass deformity
- Erectile difficulty and distress
Causes and risk factors of Peyronie’s disease (curved penis)

- Genetic predisposition, including Dupuytren’s contracture
- Diabetes and smoking
- Penile surgery or catheter trauma
- Autoimmune factors
When to see a doctor

- A painful, prolonged erection (priapism), which is an emergency

Frequently asked questions about Peyronie’s disease (curved penis)
1. Does Peyronie’s disease go away on its own?
Pain often settles, but the curve rarely disappears completely without treatment. Some men have mild curvature that does not need treatment.
2. Is Peyronie’s disease linked to Dupuytren’s contracture?
Yes. There is an association, as both are connective-tissue scarring conditions. See our page on Dupuytren’s contracture.
3. When is surgery needed?
Surgery is considered in the stable phase when curvature is severe and prevents intercourse. Your urologist will advise.
4. Can I still have sex with Peyronie’s disease?
Many men can, if curvature is mild and erections are firm. Open discussion with your partner and doctor helps.
5. Can homeopathy help with Peyronie’s disease?
Homeopathy is offered as individualised, supportive care alongside proper urological assessment. It does not straighten an established curvature, so early review is advised.
6. Can I take homeopathic medicines along with my current medicines for Peyronie’s disease (curved penis)?
Homeopathic medicines are highly diluted and are not known to interfere with other medicines, but please tell your doctor and our specialists about everything you take. Do not stop, skip or change any prescribed medicine on your own; any change should be discussed with the doctor who prescribed it.
