Welcome! I’m Junichi Swope, a mens pelvic floor physiotherapist with experience treating pelvic and sexual health conditions—including Peyronie’s disease, a condition that affects both physical function and emotional wellbeing. In this video, I’ll explain how therapeutic ultrasound can be used to reduce penile curvature, pain, and tissue stiffness associated with Peyronie’s. 🧠💡 If you or someone you care about has noticed a bend, curve, or pain in the penis, especially after an erection or following an injury, this video is for you. Peyronie’s disease can feel alarming and isolating—but you are not alone, and there are non-invasive treatments that can help. 🔍 What is Peyronie’s Disease? Peyronie’s disease is caused by the development of fibrous scar tissue (plaques) within the tunica albuginea, the sheath surrounding the erectile tissues of the penis. This scarring can cause curvature, indentation, shortening, pain, and difficulty with erections. Early symptoms may include: ✔️ A noticeable curve or bend during erection ✔️ Painful erections or penile sensitivity ✔️ A hard lump or area of thickened tissue under the skin ✔️ Erectile dysfunction or performance anxiety ✔️ Emotional distress or avoidance of intimacy 👩‍⚕️ How can ultrasound help? Therapeutic ultrasound is a non-invasive, painless treatment that uses sound waves to target deep tissue. In the case of Peyronie’s disease, it may help by: ✔️ Improving blood flow and oxygenation to the plaque ✔️ Softening fibrotic tissue ✔️ Breaking down adhesions ✔️ Reducing inflammation and discomfort ✔️ Improving elasticity and tissue mobility over time Ultrasound is often used in early or stable phases of Peyronie’s, as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that may include: Manual therapy (to address pelvic tension or postural issues) Education on erections, arousal, and healthy tissue remodeling Gentle stretching exercises (as advised) Emotional support and referral to specialists when needed 📽️ In this video, I cover: ✔️ What Peyronie’s disease is and how it progresses ✔️ How to recognize early signs before it worsens ✔️ How therapeutic ultrasound works on a cellular level ✔️ What to expect during treatment ✔️ The importance of early intervention for better outcomes ✨ The earlier you start conservative treatment, the better. While Peyronie’s can be stable or progressive, ultrasound is most effective in the early or soft plaque stages, before the tissue becomes calcified. That’s why recognizing symptoms and acting early matters. 🎯 Who this video is for: Men noticing curvature, pain, or changes in erections Anyone diagnosed with Peyronie’s looking for non-surgical options Partners wanting to understand and support Health professionals seeking patient-friendly education 🧠 Did you know? Peyronie’s disease affects up to 10% of men, especially between ages 40–70. Many don’t seek help due to embarrassment or fear of surgery. Physiotherapy offers non-invasive support and tools for real improvement—without shame or pressure.
