Peyronie’s Disease

What is Peyronie's disease?

Peyronie’s disease is a condition in which scar tissue forms inside the penis, causing it to bend or curve during an erection. The condition is caused by the buildup of scar tissue, called plaques, inside the penis. These plaques can cause the penis to bend or curve during an erection, which can make sexual intercourse difficult or even impossible. The exact prevalence of Peyronie’s disease is not well understood, but it is estimated to affect up to 25% of men!

symptoms

Diagnosis: Diagnosis is typically made through a physical examination and discussion of symptoms.

Treatment options

Observation: In some cases, the curve may resolve on its own over time.
Medications: Topical or oral medications may be prescribed to reduce pain and inflammation but are not effective in fixing the curvature. Shockwave therapy can help reduce pain.
Injections: Xiaflex (collagenase) may be injected directly into the scar tissue to help break it down.
Surgery: Surgery may be recommended to correct the bend or curve in the penis.

Peyronie’s disease can be a sensitive and embarrassing condition, but it is treatable. By seeking medical attention and following your doctor’s recommendations, you can manage the condition and improve your quality of life.
