Focused Shockwave Therapy for Peyronie's Disease – Sunshine Coast
​Confidential Assessment and Information About Non-Invasive Treatment Options
Peyronie's disease can cause penile curvature, discomfort and changes in sexual function.
At Shockwave Therapy Centre, we provide confidential consultations and information about focused shockwave therapy for selected symptoms associated with Peyronie's disease.
​
What Is Peyronie's Disease?
Peyronie's disease is a condition involving the development of fibrous scar-like tissue, commonly called plaque, within the penis.
This can affect the way the penis expands during an erection.
Symptoms may include:
-
New or increasing penile curvature
-
Pain during erections
-
A palpable area of firm tissue
-
Changes in penile shape or length
-
Erectile difficulties
-
Discomfort during sexual activity
​​
The condition may progress during an initial active phase before becoming more stable.
​
How Can Shockwave Therapy Help?
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy has been investigated as a non-invasive treatment for Peyronie's disease.
Clinical studies suggest that shockwave therapy may help reduce penile pain in some patients, particularly during the active phase.
However, more studies are required to investigate shockwave therapy as an effective treatment for reliably correcting penile curvature or reducing plaque size.
​
These limitations are important when considering treatment.
​
What Does the Research Say?
International urology guidelines recognise shockwave therapy as a possible option for penile pain associated with Peyronie's disease.
They do not recommend shockwave therapy for correcting penile curvature.
Other treatments, including medical management, traction therapy and specialist procedures, may be more appropriate depending on the stage and severity of the condition.
​
Why Focused Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy Centre uses German-engineered focused shockwave technology, allowing controlled acoustic energy delivery to selected treatment regions.
The use of focused technology does not change the current limitations of clinical evidence for penile curvature or plaque reduction.
​
What Happens During a Consultation?
Your clinician will discuss:
-
When your symptoms first appeared.
-
Whether the curvature or pain is changing.
-
Any associated erectile dysfunction.
-
Previous investigations or urology consultations.
-
Your treatment expectations and available options.
​
A urology assessment may be recommended before considering shockwave therapy.
​
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can shockwave therapy straighten a curved penis?
Current clinical evidence does not support shockwave therapy as an effective treatment for correcting penile curvature.
-
Can shockwave therapy dissolve Peyronie's plaques?
There is insufficient evidence that shockwave therapy reliably reduces or removes Peyronie's plaques.
-
Can shockwave therapy help with penile pain?
Some studies suggest that it may reduce pain in selected patients, although improvement cannot be guaranteed.
-
Should I see a urologist first?
A urologist can assess the stage and severity of Peyronie's disease and explain appropriate treatment options. Specialist assessment is particularly important when curvature is progressing or sexual function is affected.
