The Relationship Between Parkinson's Disease and Male Health problems

Male Health problems including Peyronie's disease are very common with Parkinson's disease.

Parkinson's disease is a disorder of the central nervous system starting with the brain that affects movement. The condition starts gradually and then get worse over time.

Treatments for Peyronie's Disease and Parkinson's Disease

Some pills increase desire, whilst others have the opposite effects.

A range of treatment options for Peyronie's disease exist which can be viewed on our treatment options page. The gold standard is focused shockwave therapy. Focused Shockwave Therapy (FSWT) emits acoustic waves at 1500 metres a second to break up the Peyronie's disease plaque. This treatment is pain free and you can resume your normal routine immediately after treatment.
