If treated early, it is possible to break the plaque and correct the curvature of the penis.

As another Peyronie’s treatment you can do this exercise which is perfectly safe and anyone can perform it without guidance. When the penis is erect, you should bend the penis gently the opposite of the curvature to help loosen and break the plaque. Be careful not to injure yourself any further and do not perform this procedure if there is pain. Performing this procedure until your penis is straight again may take weeks and weeks. Do not force your penis into it’s original state immediately, but gradually allowing it to repair slowly. Be patient, Peyronie’s Treatment is not something that should be rushed.
