Understanding Peyronie’s Disease
Peyronie’s disease is characterized by the development of fibrous scar tissue (plaque) inside the penis, causing curved, painful erections. It is not just a cosmetic concern; it can impact sexual performance and mental well-being. Our approach focuses on stabilizing the condition and choosing the most effective corrective path.
Symptoms Requiring Medical Consultation
Palpable Hard Lumps
The presence of hard tissue (plaques) that can be felt under the skin of the penis.
Significant Curvature
A noticeable bend in the penis (upward, downward, or to either side) during an erection.
Painful Erections
Experiencing discomfort or sharp pain during erections or during sexual intercourse.
Erectile Dysfunction
New or worsening difficulty in achieving or maintaining an erection.
Treatment Options at Our Clinic

Board-Certified Expertise: Specialized in Male Infertility and Andrology.
Advanced Technology: Utilizing the latest diagnostic and therapeutic tools available globally.
Proven Success: A track record of over 1100+ successful urological procedures with minimal complication rates.
Unmatched Safety: Only 1.2% Infection Rate
We take pride in achieving the lowest infection rate in Iraq and the region, standing at just 1.2%. This is a direct result of our strict adherence to the global "No-Touch" sterilization protocol. Our commitment to these international standards minimizes the risks associated with complex hydraulic implants—often utilized in advanced Peyronie’s disease cases—ensuring a rapid recovery period and significantly fewer complications compared to other regional centers.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does Peyronie’s disease go away on its own?
In very rare instances, the associated pain may improve during the initial phase. However, the physical curvature and plaque formation almost never resolve without professional medical intervention.
When is surgery necessary?
Surgery is recommended when the penile curvature is severe enough to hinder or prevent normal sexual intercourse, or when non-surgical treatments (such as injections) have failed to provide the desired results after the disease has stabilized.
How long does the recovery period take?
Recovery time varies depending on the specific procedure performed (plication, grafting, or implant). Generally, most patients can return to their daily routine and light activities within a few weeks, following the personalized post-operative guide provided by our clinic.
