Peyronie's disease (PDD) is a benign condition affecting the penis, caused by inflammation. It is characterized by the formation of fibrous plaques on the inner part of the penis, which can cause curvature, shortening, or thinning.
Dr. Xavier Bonet, an expert in andrology and urology, explains in simple terms what this condition is and how we treat it at Andrología Mallorca, so you can once again enjoy a fulfilling sex life.
At Andrología Mallorca, Peyronie’s disease cases are treated by urologists who specialize in reconstructive and prosthetic surgery. Each patient receives personalized care.
He holds a degree in Medicine from the University of Barcelona and completed his specialty training in Urology at the Hospital Universitari de Bellvitge. He practices in the private healthcare sector in Barcelona and Mallorca, with a special focus on reconstructive and prosthetic surgery.
Peyronie’s disease can progress over time, so it is important to determine which stage it is in before deciding on a treatment.
Seeing a specialized urologist allows for an evaluation of your case, monitoring of its progression, and selection of the most appropriate treatment at the right time. You do not need to wait for the problem to worsen before seeking an evaluation.
During this phase, the patient may experience pain in the penis, and the curvature may increase. This phase can last from 6 months to 2 years.
In this stage, the pain typically decreases, and the curvature stabilizes. The disease no longer progresses, although the curvature and any changes in penis size may remain.
In this phase, the curvature and other symptoms are fully stabilized. Patients may experience issues related to erectile function or sexual satisfaction, but pain is generally no longer present.
The sooner you undergo a specialized evaluation, the more options you’ll have to manage the progression of the disease and find the most appropriate treatment.

Although the exact cause of Peyronie’s disease is not known, it is believed to be related to issues in the healing process after a severe injury or due to repeated micro-injuries to the penis.
Additionally, there are other factors that may increase the risk of developing this condition, such as genetic predisposition, smoking, diabetes, and advanced age.
