Peyronie’s Disease

Expert Treatment for Peyronie’s Disease in Tooele: Restoring Comfort and Confidence

For men in the Tooele Valley, a diagnosis of Peyronie’s Disease can be both physically painful and emotionally taxing. Despite it being a relatively common condition, many men feel isolated or embarrassed to seek help. At Tooele Urology, we provide a professional, confidential, and evidence-based environment where you can find effective treatment and relief.

Our clinic is dedicated to restoring both function and confidence. We combine advanced urological techniques with a compassionate approach, ensuring that every patient in the Northpointe Medical Park receives personalized care tailored to their specific symptoms.

What is Peyronie’s Disease?

Peyronie’s Disease is characterized by the development of fibrous scar tissue—known as plaque—inside the penis. This plaque is not cancerous, but it is inelastic. When an erection occurs, the scarred area cannot stretch, causing the penis to bend or curve, which can make intercourse difficult or even impossible.

Symptoms typically develop in two stages:

The Acute Phase: the inflammatory stage. You may notice pain during erections or a palpable lump under the skin. The curvature may begin to progress during this time.
The Chronic Phase: The pain usually subsides, but the plaque hardens, and the degree of curvature becomes stable.

Common Symptoms

Significant Curvature: A noticeable bend that may be upward, downward, or to one side.
Narrowing or Indentation: Sometimes referred to as “hourglassing“ of the shaft.
Loss of Length: The contraction of scar tissue can lead to a reduction in size.
Erectile Dysfunction: Many men with Peyronie’s also struggle with achieving or maintaining firmness.

Our Diagnostic Excellence

At Tooele Urology, we don’t believe in a “wait and see“ approach. Early intervention is often the key to better long-term outcomes. Our diagnostic process focuses on evaluating plaque severity and curvature to determine the best course of action.

In-Depth Consultation: We discuss the onset of your symptoms and how they have impacted your life and relationships.
Physical Examination: Dr. Hibbert performs a detailed exam to locate and measure the plaque.
Imaging and Ultrasound: We may utilize specialized ultrasound to assess blood flow and precisely map the location of the scar tissue.

Advanced Treatment Options in Tooele

We offer a range of therapies designed to reduce curvature and eliminate pain. As a state-of-the-art facility, we offer both non-surgical and surgical options right here in Tooele County.

Non-Surgical Interventions

Injectable Therapies: We utilize FDA-approved medications (such as collagenase clostridium histolyticum) that are injected directly into the plaque to help break down the collagen fibers and reduce the bend.
Traction Therapy: In some instances, mechanical traction devices can be used to stretch the tissue and improve straightness gradually.
Oral Medications: While often used as a secondary treatment, certain medications can help manage pain during the acute phase.

Surgical Solutions

For men with severe curvature or those in the chronic phase who haven’t responded to other treatments, Dr. Hibbert provides expert surgical care:

Plication: A minimally invasive procedure where the side opposite the plaque is shortened to straighten the penis.
Grafting: The plaque is removed or incised, and a graft is placed to allow the tissue to stretch.
Penile Implants: For men who experience both Peyronie’s and severe ED, an implant can correct the curvature and provide reliable firmness.
