The most common symptom of Peyronie's Disease is a curvature, lump or hard area observed in the penis. Painful erections and penile pain are also symptoms of this condition. . The lumps or hard areas, also referred to as plaque or scar tissue form between the tunica and the outer layers of skin. The plaque or scarring also reduces the elasticity to the affected area, it will not stretch as the surrounding, unaffected tissues. The erect penis bends in the direction of the scar or plaque formation as a result of this, often with associated pain.

To date there has not been a truly effective treatment for Peyronie’s Disease until topical Verapamil was created. In a recent study, Topical Verapamil relieved pain in 96% of the study participants and 89% had a decrease in plaque.  Peyronie's disease is a one that often produces such severe discomfort and distress that sufferers have been willing to endure such treatments as penile injections, again topical verapamil is a product that avoids all those challenges and provides results.

Heat treatments using diathermy as a heat source have been used. Low voltage electrical devices have been developed for use in the home whereby an electric current is used to help "drive" a medication into the plaque. Lasers have also been used to "vaporize"  the plaque, but again with questionable success.

Peyronies.com is a site that is dedicated to offering information on treatment and options for patients with Peyronie’s Disease (PD).  Everything we suggest or discuss as an option will be only after taking several things into account.   This first is to acknowledge that there are no easy options for patients with PD.   Since this site was first started ten years ago there have been many resources developed for patients with PD.  The most important has been support groups for individuals and couples who are going through this condition. 
You will find references to these groups on this site as well as links to organizations or study references that will assist you in learning more about the condition as well as your choices on how to pursue treatment. 
The format of this website will be very straight forward; what is PD? What can we do about it? What are others going through?  Where did it come from?  Are there any treatments that work?  How can I survive with this?  Is my condition typical?  Can it get worse?  Is it genetic?   These and other questions are very common with people who get PD.  Some men don’t even like to talk about it at all.    These are questions that can be answered.  Some answers are easier than others but every answer can be addressed to some degree.
The other part of this website will be to review and possibly offer solutions to the condition.   We will try and speak frankly about the options.  We will not sugar coat or try to soften the blow when it comes to the treatments available.  You will get straight forward suggestions and insight based on ten years of experience in discussing this condition with patients.  And as always we are looking for more good information to share.  If you have information or a suggested resource please share.
