Peyronie’s Disease Treatment in Orlando, FL
Approximately 10% of adult men in the U.S. are affected by Peyronie’s disease. This condition, caused by scar tissue formation in the penis, can result in a curvature that makes sexual intercourse painful—or even impossible.
At Orlando Sexual Medicine, we understand the physical and emotional challenges that Peyronie’s disease can bring. Dr. George Carroll and our expert team offer cutting-edge, non-surgical treatments like extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) to help men regain control over their sexual health. Call today to explore how we can help you experience relief and restore confidence.
​
What is Peyronie’s Disease?
Peyronie’s disease occurs when scar tissue (also called plaque) develops in the penis, leading to curvature, pain, and other symptoms. The condition can impact not only physical function but also emotional well-being, causing men to feel self-conscious or distressed about their condition.
How Does Peyronie’s Disease Develop?
The exact cause of Peyronie’s disease isn’t fully understood, but it’s believed to result from trauma or injury to the penis. This could include:
-
Falls or accidents.
-
Sports-related injuries.
-
Repeated minor trauma over time (e.g., vigorous sexual activity).
Certain health conditions, like high blood pressure and diabetes, may also increase the risk of developing Peyronie’s disease. However, not all men with these risk factors will experience the condition, and some cases occur without any identifiable cause.
Recognizing the Symptoms of Peyronie’s Disease
Peyronie’s disease can present with a range of symptoms, from mild to severe. Common signs include:
-
Curved or bent penis: The curvature may vary in severity and can make sexual intercourse difficult or painful.
-
Hard plaques or lumps: Scar tissue beneath the skin of the penis may feel firm to the touch.
-
Pain or discomfort: Some men experience pain during erections or intercourse.
-
Erectile dysfunction: Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection is common in Peyronie’s disease.
Beyond physical symptoms, Peyronie’s disease can lead to emotional distress. It’s important to seek treatment not only to address physical concerns but also to support your overall well-being.

Non-Surgical Treatment Options for Peyronie’s Disease
Surgery is often considered a last resort for Peyronie’s disease. Non-surgical treatments, like extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), provide effective solutions without the need for invasive procedures.
How ESWT Works
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy involves the use of high-frequency sound waves to break down scar tissue and stimulate natural healing.
During the procedure:​
-
A handheld device delivers gentle pulses of energy to the affected area.
-
These sound waves reduce plaque buildup and promote healthy tissue growth.
-
Over time, this can result in a straighter, more functional penis.​
​
ESWT is a safe, painless, and non-invasive option with no downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately.
