Peyronie’s disease at Andrología Barcelona: acting early makes the difference

Discovering a curvature in the penis can generate immediate concern. In many cases, men wait, thinking it will disappear on its own, but when the curvature progresses or pain appears, concern increases.

Peyronie’s disease is a condition characterized by the formation of a fibrous plaque inside the penis. This plaque prevents uniform expansion during erection and can cause curvature, shortening, or discomfort.

At Andrología Barcelona – Teknon Medical Center, a detailed study is carried out to determine the stage of the disease and which treatment is most appropriate.

The goal is clear: to treat the disease according to its stage and minimize the functional and psychological impact.

What is Peyronie’s disease?

It is a disorder in which scar tissue (fibrous plaque) forms inside the penis.

It can cause:

• Visible curvature during erection
• Pain in the initial stages
• Penile shortening
• Difficulty with penetration
• Significant emotional impact
• The disease has two clearly differentiated phases: active phase and stable phase.

Active phase: when the curvature is evolving

In the active phase there may be pain and progression of the deformity. At this point, the goal is not surgery, but to try to slow the progression and modulate fibrosis.

Perovial Treatment

At Andrología Barcelona, the Perovial protocol is used, a medical treatment aimed at acting on inflammation and fibrosis in the active phase of the disease.

Perovial seeks to:

• Reduce inflammatory activity
• Stabilize the fibrous plaque
• Decrease the progression of the curvature
• Try to improve tissue elasticity
• It is a specific medical approach that must be applied at the appropriate moment in the evolution of the disease.
• Not all patients are candidates. For this reason, it is essential to carry out a specialized evaluation.

Stable phase: when the curvature no longer progresses

Once the disease stabilizes (without pain and without progression for months), if the curvature interferes with penetration or quality of life, surgical treatment may be considered.

The goal of surgery is to:

• Correct the curvature
• Allow functional sexual intercourse
• Preserve erectile function as much as possible
• The type of intervention will depend on the degree of curvature, penile length, and previous erectile function.

How is the diagnosis made at Teknon Barcelona?

The evaluation includes:

• Detailed clinical history
• Physical examination
• Penile ultrasound in certain cases
• It is essential to determine:
• Stage of the disease
• Degree of curvature
• Presence or absence of pain
• State of erectile function
• Only with this information can the appropriate treatment be indicated.

What can I expect from treatment?

In the active phase, the goal is to slow progression and stabilize the situation.

In the stable phase, surgical treatment seeks to correct the deformity when it affects function.

Follow-up is key in both phases.

Why treat Peyronie at Andrología Barcelona – Teknon?

Peyronie’s disease requires specific experience.

• Precise diagnosis of the stage of evolution
• Specific medical treatment such as Perovial
• Experience in corrective surgery when indicated
• Personalized approach
• Confidentiality and close care
• The goal is not only to correct the curvature, but to support the patient throughout the entire process.

Frequently asked questions

• Can the curvature disappear on its own? In some cases it may stabilize, but it does not always disappear without treatment.
• When is the right time for surgery? Only when the disease is stable and the curvature interferes with function.
• Does Perovial replace surgery? No. It is a treatment indicated in the active phase to try to slow progression.
• Does surgery affect erections? Erectile function is evaluated before the procedure and the goal is to preserve it.
