Contact UsWhat Is Peyronie's Disease?
Peyronie's disease is a condition where fibrous scar tissue, or plaque, forms on the penis, resulting in painful erections and curvature of the penis. Peyronie's disease can get worse if left untreated, leading to concerning symptoms, like erectile dysfunction (ED) and penile shortening. This condition can cause severe pain, stress, anxiety, decreased sexual satisfaction, and scar tissue. At Tru Male Medical, Dr. Robert Marshall can diagnose and treat Peyronie's disease to address the physical and psychological effects of this condition, which typically affects middle-aged and older men, although it can occur at any age.

What Are Some Symptoms of Peyronie's Disease?
Peyronie's Disease, a condition impacting men's health, often manifests through distinct symptoms. This condition can cause both physical discomfort and emotional distress. Key symptoms include:
- Curvature of the penis: The most noticeable sign, often evident during an erection.
- Pain: This can occur with or without an erection, varying in intensity.
- Hard lumps: Palpable plaques or hard lumps can be felt under the skin of the penis.
- Erectile dysfunction: Difficulty in achieving or maintaining an erection is common.
- Shortening of the penis: Some men may notice a reduction in the length of their penis.
Understanding these symptoms is crucial for early detection and effective management. If you're experiencing any of these signs, it's important to seek professional medical advice at Tru Male Medical.
what to expect from Peyronie's Disease treatment
To help men with Peyronie’s disease, our expert team at Tru Male Medical uses GAINSWave® therapy to break down the fibrous scar tissue that causes the curvature of the penis. GAINSWave uses sound waves to stimulate blood circulation, while at the same time encouraging the growth of new blood vessels in the genitals and improving erectile function. Gainswave therapy is a noninvasive treatment option that does not require surgery or injections and has minimal side effects, making it a more comfortable and convenient option for some patients.
What Are the Causes of Peyronie's Disease?
Although the cause of Peyronie's disease isn't completely known, there are numerous factors that can contribute. Most commonly, Peyronie's disease is thought to happen as a result of repetitive trauma or injury to the penis. The plaque, or scar tissue, that forms during the healing process may prevent the penis from stretching as it becomes erect, leading to pain and a curved appearance.
What Are the Risk Factors for Peyronie's Disease?
Aside from injury, there are several other factors that can affect your risk of Peyronie’s disease. Some of the known risk factors for Peyronie’s disease include:
- Age (occurring more often in men between 45 – 70 years old)
- Family history
- Having a heart condition (like hypertension or high cholesterol)
- Having a condition that affects your connective tissues
During your consultation, we'll assess your medical history and lifestyle to develop a personalized treatment strategy.
How is Peyronie's disease diagnosed?
Peyronie's disease is usually diagnosed by a doctor through a physical exam, where they check for hard scar tissue or plaque in the penis that causes it to bend. The doctor may ask about any pain or changes in shape during erections. Sometimes, an ultrasound is used to see the plaque and check blood flow. The doctor might also measure the penile curvature to monitor its progression. A good description of symptoms and a careful exam help the doctor make the right diagnosis.
Tru Male Medical Reviews
" Hello! The appointment was fantastic. I was super comfortable, and I'm already responding to treatment. Just a little bit, but getting results from the very first treatment is incredible! I would say the absolute greatest thing was how incredibly comfortable everyone made me feel. "
" Five stars all around. Nurse very professional Christina very professional Very enjoyable experience. "
The staff at trumale medical is very professional. I have had pellets and p-shot done so far, and I will be back! The front desk (Rosa) to Dr Marshall and Kelly (nurse practitioner) are very friendly and knowledgeable! I feel very comfortable speaking to them about a sensitive subject. I will be back for future treatments!
The staff is so welcoming here, Rose is amazing to talk to. She's easy to talk to, fantastic at helping with scheduling appointments, and helpful with setting up payment plans. Kelly is super smart and is easy to discuss desired goals and how different treatments can help achieve those results. While there are other offices that are closer to me, I go out of my way to see Rose and Kelly because they're that good.
I was hesitant at first, out right scared even. What made an initial big difference was within the first 2 visits I knew the staff / team were on my side. I was pretty low on the ED scale - which means not good - but my nurse practicioner Kelly said, "Don't worry. We have alot of ways to make this work. We are going to make it happen." I think that statement is one of the keys to success. My treatment has very much been for me as the individual; at the same time the staff shares what has worked with others, as much as can. I am doing a 1-year treatment program. Within my first month of treatment I had successful penetration. Within my first 2 months of treatment, my girlfriend and I had one of the best sex nights a person could ask for. Yes again everyone is different, be patient, stay the course, but my testimony is true. I'm now 4+ months into treatment. From my experience, here are some keys: 1) Be outright honest with your partner - "honesty is the best policy", lol. In this case it's true. The unquestioned full support I have makes all the difference. If you're partner isn't 100% supportive then you're probably not with the right person (Sorry :/). There's no doubt this is tough - we are sticking our necks out and deserve to be appreciated for it. 2) The Tru-Male staff. Kelly rocks it. She's a blast to work with. She's my therapist. Rosa at the front desk is awesome. She is so supportive; she's a good listener and has a ton of good advice. Danielle has been there for me the whole time. She helped me get things started and has been a cornerstone to success. I've had appointments with Rodney - he's awesome for sure. Everyone is so professional. They are all friends to me; they're definitely invited to my wedding some years down the road. What a table that'll be :) 3) How do we keep this going? That's a good question. Stick with your program. Don't slide on your part (most iomportant) of the therapy. Have faith. 4) Try to relax. Have faith in life. Love your partner. Love those around you.
