Has anyone dealt with Peyronie's successfully? What helped?

Posted by Steven @soarus57, Jul 21, 2025

I am 67 yo with chronic stage Peyronies which presents as a significant (60°?) upward curve during Viagra induced erections. Less pronounced with non Viagra erections but more difficult to achieve and maintain without meds. Causes painful intercourse with wife but as she is several years older than I, a straight erection would most likely cause pain as well so we use other options. Fortunately, I have zero pain and orgasms are still attainable and enjoyable for us both. Has anyone else dealt with Peyronies successfully and if so, what methods did you use? I’ve read several online comments from men who have used Xiaflex but that seems to provide 50% improvement if any.

@kocour You actually went to the Mayo Clinic? I live too far for that unfortunately. You were prescribed Restorex, did your insurance cover the cost? Glad you had a positive result! Gives me hope!

I live about 200 miles from Rochester and was being treated at the Mayo Clinic for an enlarged prostate so I also sought treatment for Peyronie's disease. I was very impressed with the way that the clinic screened me for the condition, took measurements, and offered different treatment options. The RestoreX device being the least invasive. I purchased the device at the Mayo Clinic Pharmacy. Insurance did not cover the cost. It cost about $525. For me it has been well worth it. I also have receive excellent customer service from RestoreX when I called them for spare parts and advice on proper use of the device.

@kocour Thank you for responding. Prostate and Peyronies? Things we never thought about as teens. I’m considering purchasing a RestoreX but as my wife is several years older than I and finds sexual penetration painful, having a straighter penis would not change my sex life so I’m still undecided. Ah well. Things can always be worse.

I was diagnosed with Peyronie’s disease and sought treatment at the Mayo Clinic. I was prescribed the RestoreX traction device. I have been using RestoreX since December 2025 with some success. Before treatment I had a 45 decree curve to the left and a pea sized formation of plaque that I could feel near the mid right side of my penis that caused the bend to the left. I could feel the plaque when my penis was flaccid. When erect there was an indention opposite where the plaque was located. Although the condition was not too painful, I did feel a tugging sensation near the bend that was not pleasant. I was mostly disturbed by the appearance of the curve.

After seven to eight months of using the RestoreX traction device the plaque is no longer detectable and the indention is much less noticeable. The angle of curvature has decreased from 45 degrees to about 25 degrees. I no longer feel the tugging sensation near the curve. Although not straight, my penis is much better than before traction. I hope that continued use results in more straightening, but if it does not, I feel much less deformed and I am happy with the results.

Using RestoreX took some getting used to. The videos on their website were very helpful. As advised in the manual that came with the device, I start off with 15 minutes of straight traction and then 15 minutes of counter bending (opposite direction of the curve). I do two 30-minute treatment sessions per day, usually one in the morning and one in the evening. I think I is important to develop a daily routine so the you consistently use the device. I also take a daily dose of Tadalafil. Although I have not experienced ED my physician said the Tadalafil would increase blood flow and help counter Peyronie’s.

@kocour Thanks for sharing your Restorex experience. It takes months of regular use for results. Stick with it as will I.

My curve was 20-30 degrees, so less significant. But I fully straightened it by using a vacuum device for 20-30 minutes 3x a week. My urologist said it would not work, but he was wrong.
