Peyronie’s Disease is a penile curvature that occurs at a certain stage in a man’s life, usually as a result of injuries or micro-traumas that happen during sexual intercourse. In more severe cases, for example, the penis can even form an “L” shape due to its tortuosity.
The disease is characterized by the formation of scars in the tunica albuginea, the tissue covering the penis’s erection mechanism, and usually manifests itself through fibrosis. Over time, this scar reduces the penile tissue’s elasticity, resulting in a deformity that is only noticeable during an erection. If left untreated, this curvature tends to evolve over time, making sexual relations very difficult or even impossible, besides causing pain during erection.
Every man should always be attentive to the anatomy of his penis. The habit of visiting a urologist regularly, starting from puberty, is extremely important to ensure a healthy and proper sexual life. But the reality is that most men do not have this habit, and only become worried about their health when they notice that something is wrong. A problem that is usually noticeable to the naked eye is the penile curvature. When it is stable, it does not compromise the erection, nor does it make sexual relations difficult — it is sufficient to observe it and take some precautions to prevent it from worsening. However, when the penis becomes more twisted, to the point that it hinders or entirely prevents sex, it is necessary to seek medical help.

Clinical treatment with medications aims to stabilize the disease, preventing the progression of fibrosis. However, when the penile deformity prevents or hinders sexual intercourse, drug therapy may not be sufficient to restore proper alignment or rigidity.
In these cases, corrective surgery may be indicated. It is also recommended when the patient presents with erectile dysfunction that does not respond to other therapeutic approaches.
The main objective of surgery is to restore penile functionality and alignment, providing the appropriate rigidity and shape for a satisfying sexual life.
Conventional techniques, such as the Nesbit procedure, typically correct the curvature by shortening the longer side of the penis, which frequently results in a noticeable reduction in size—a consequence that goes against the expectations of most patients. Furthermore, these approaches do not address the penile thinning that can accompany the curvature.
Dr. Paulo Egydio is an internationally recognized specialist and the creator of the Egydio Technique, which is described in major international urological guidelines.
This technique is based on geometric principles applied to penile anatomy, allowing for:
This approach aims to restore the shape, caliber, and rigidity of the penis, helping patients return to a natural and comfortable sexual function.
If you have noticed a curvature, thinning, loss of size, or difficulty with penetration, it is essential to seek a specialized evaluation.
Early diagnosis and individualized surgical planning are crucial for the success of the treatment and the recovery of your quality of life.
