Peyronie's Disease, characterized by the development of fibrous scar tissue inside the penis that causes curved, painful erections, is a condition that significantly impacts men's urological health. If you're experiencing symptoms of Peyronie's Disease, seeking professional medical advice is crucial for effective management and treatment.

What is Peyronie's Disease?

Peyronie's Disease, though often misunderstood, is more common than many realize. The exact cause isn't well understood, but it's believed to result from repeated penile injury, often during sex or physical activity. The subsequent formation of scar tissue (plaques) leads to curvature, pain, and sometimes erectile dysfunction.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis typically involves a physical exam, during which a doctor can feel the hardened tissue (plaque) through the skin. In some cases, an ultrasound may be performed to identify the location and extent of the scar tissue.

Treatment Options at Medicover

Treatment for Peyronie's Disease at Medicover varies based on the severity of the condition and the symptoms experienced by the patient. Here are some of the options available:

Medication

Medications such as oral drugs, injectable treatments, and topical agents may be prescribed to reduce pain and manage symptoms. Collagenase injections, for example, can help break down the scar tissue causing the curvature.

Shockwave Therapy

Low-intensity shockwave therapy is a non-invasive option that can help reduce pain and improve erectile function by promoting blood flow and tissue healing.

Penile Traction Therapy

Penile traction devices can be used to stretch the penis, potentially reducing curvature and improving length.

For severe cases where non-surgical treatments are ineffective, surgical options may be considered. These include:

Penile Plication

This procedure involves shortening the side of the penis opposite the curvature, which can help straighten the penis.

Plaque Incision and Grafting

In this surgery, the surgeon makes an incision in the plaque and places a graft to straighten the penis.

Penile Implants

In cases where Peyronie's Disease is accompanied by severe erectile dysfunction, penile implants can provide a solution, restoring function and improving quality of life.
