You may have noticed a curve in your erection that wasn’t there before. Perhaps you've started experiencing discomfort or pain during intimacy, or you're struggling with performance anxiety due to the change in your penis’s shape. These may point to a condition known as Peyronie’s disease, a condition that affects both your sexual health and emotional well-being.

At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we understand how Peyronie’s disease can impact your quality of life. Our non-surgical treatment solutions, such as the P-Shot, can restore function, alleviate pain, and support natural healing. This article will walk you through what Peyronie’s disease is, how to recognize its signs, and how the P-Shot may provide lasting relief.

What is Peyronie’s disease?

Peyronie’s disease is a condition that results in the development of fibrous scar tissue inside the penis. This scar tissue, or plaque, forms in the tunica albuginea, a thick sheath of tissue that surrounds the corpora cavernosa, the chambers responsible for producing erections. As the plaque accumulates, it can cause the penis to bend, curve, or become misshapen.

Peyronie’s disease is frequently associated with trauma or repeated injury to the penis, either during intercourse, physical activity, or medical procedures. This condition is more common in men over the age of 40, though it can occur at any age. In some cases, it stabilizes over time; in others, it progresses and leads to painful erections or erectile dysfunction.

Common signs & symptoms of Peyronie’s disease:

• Noticeable bend or curve in the erect penis
• Pain during erections or sexual activity
• Palpable lumps or hard plaques under the skin of the penis
• Shortening or narrowing of the penis
• Erectile dysfunction or difficulty maintaining an erection
• Emotional distress, anxiety, or reduced confidence
• Difficulty with penetration or sexual performance
• Loss of rigidity in certain areas of the penis

How does the P-Shot help with Peyronie’s disease?

The P-Shot, or Priapus Shot, is a non-surgical regenerative treatment that uses your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to promote healing and tissue rejuvenation. It involves extracting a small amount of your blood, isolating the growth-factor-rich plasma, and injecting it strategically into areas of the penis that require healing. Because PRP is derived from your own body, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is extremely low.

This innovative treatment is increasingly being used to treat Peyronie’s disease because of its ability to repair tissue, reduce inflammation, and improve blood flow. Let’s explore the ways the P-Shot can specifically benefit men struggling with Peyronie’s disease.

Break down scar tissue naturally

One of the core challenges in Peyronie’s disease is the buildup of fibrous scar tissue that causes painful curvature. The P-Shot introduces platelet-rich plasma (PRP) directly into the affected tissue, delivering concentrated growth factors that stimulate the body’s natural healing and remodeling processes. This helps soften hardened plaques and gradually breaks down scar tissue over time. As the tissue becomes more elastic and pliable, the penile curvature may decrease, resulting in improved comfort, appearance, and sexual function.

Reduce inflammation and discomfort

Inflammation is a key factor in the development and progression of Peyronie’s disease. The P-Shot contains powerful anti-inflammatory properties derived from your own platelet-rich plasma. When injected into the penile tissue, PRP helps calm inflammation at a cellular level, alleviating the soreness and pain that many men experience during erections or sexual activity. As the inflammation subsides, your tissue becomes less irritated and more responsive, making intimacy more comfortable and restoring confidence in your sexual health.

Stimulate the growth of healthy tissue

A major benefit of the P-Shot is its ability to trigger tissue regeneration. The platelet-rich plasma is packed with natural growth factors that stimulate cellular activity and collagen production. This leads to the development of healthy tissue within the penis, especially around the damaged or fibrotic areas. Over time, this new tissue helps improve elasticity and integrity, potentially restoring the tunica albuginea’s normal shape and function. The result is a healthier, stronger foundation for better erections and penile flexibility.

Improve erectile function and sensitivity

Peyronie’s disease can interfere with blood flow and nerve signaling, making erections less reliable or pleasurable. The P-Shot helps reverse these issues by promoting angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and improving microcirculation within the penis. As blood flow improves, so does erectile strength, duration, and responsiveness. Additionally, many men experience heightened sensitivity and stronger orgasms due to improved nerve function. These enhancements often lead to better sexual satisfaction over time.

May prevent further progression

Left untreated, Peyronie’s disease can worsen, leading to increased curvature, pain, and erectile dysfunction. The P-Shot offers an opportunity to intervene early by addressing the condition at its source. PRP injections not only reduce existing scar tissue but also help prevent fibrous plaques from forming by regulating inflammation and stimulating balanced tissue repair. This may slow or even halt the progression of the disease, helping you preserve function and avoid the need for surgical interventions in the future.
