Peyronie's disease, non-surgical first.

Scar tissue inside the erectile tissue can cause painful, curved erections — but surgery is not the only answer. We lead with non-invasive shockwave therapy that targets the plaque directly, and address the curvature, pain, and worry together.

— Our Approach

Curvature has a cause — fibrous plaque — and we target it.

Peyronie's disease affects roughly 5% of men. Fibrous scar tissue forms within the erectile tissue, causing the penis to bend or curve, often with pain, firm lumps or plaques beneath the skin, and difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection. The psychological toll is real too.

It can follow trauma to the penis, accompany connective-tissue conditions such as Dupuytren’s contracture, or reflect a genetic predisposition. Oral medications alone are often insufficient, which is why we lead with non-invasive shockwave therapy that targets the plaque directly.

Treat the plaque before reaching for the scalpel.

— How We Treat It

Targeted, non-invasive, reassuring.

Our priority is to address the plaque and the curvature without surgery wherever possible, while taking the pain and the worry seriously.

Shockwave Therapy

High-energy acoustic waves are applied non-invasively to break up the fibrous plaque that drives the curvature and discomfort.

Non-invasiveAcoustic waves

Symptom Relief

We address the painful erections, firm plaques, and erectile difficulty that accompany Peyronie’s, not just the angle.

PainFunction

Erectile Support

Because Peyronie’s often coexists with erectile dysfunction, we evaluate and support erectile function as part of the plan.

Honest Guidance

When a case is advanced, we will say so and discuss the full range of options, including surgical referral, plainly.

— Common Questions

Things people ask us, often.

01What is Peyronie's disease?

Peyronie's disease is the formation of fibrous scar tissue, or plaque, within the erectile tissue of the penis, causing it to bend or curve during an erection. It affects roughly 5% of men and can bring painful erections, firm lumps beneath the skin, and difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection.

02What causes Peyronie's disease?

It can develop after trauma or injury to the penis during sexual activity or an accident, and it is more common in men with a genetic predisposition or connective-tissue disorders such as Dupuytren's contracture. In many men it appears without an obvious single cause.

03How does shockwave therapy help?

Shockwave therapy uses high-energy acoustic waves, applied non-invasively, to break up the fibrous plaque responsible for the curvature and discomfort. Because oral medications alone are often insufficient, this targeted, non-surgical approach is our first-line option for many patients.

04Do I need surgery?

Often, no. We lead with non-invasive shockwave therapy and reserve surgery for advanced cases where it is genuinely warranted. If your case calls for a surgical opinion, we will tell you honestly and guide you to the right next step.

05Is this care kept confidential?

Completely. Peyronie’s disease is more common than most men realize, and we treat it with discretion and no judgment. Care is HIPAA-protected at our Acworth and Marietta clinics, with a free, private consultation and virtual options across Georgia.
