Peyronie’s disease can drastically interfere with sexual activity, bringing about feelings of anxiety and disappointment for men who suffer from it. Fortunately, Peyronie’s disease has treatment options that can help you feel more confident engaging in sexual situations, as well as experience less pain and discomfort when becoming erect. Here’s what to know about Peyronie’s disease and the treatment options you can explore with the help of our providers here at Tideline Center for Health & Aesthetics.
What is Peyronie’s Disease?
It’s thought that Peyronie’s disease is a wound-healing disorder resulting from penile trauma or injury, although it may develop independently. It’s a condition where excessive scar tissue develops in the penis, preventing it from becoming appropriately erect. It may cause severe curvature or even prevent erections entirely. For some men, it can make sexual intercourse difficult or impossible altogether. Others may experience pain and discomfort when becoming erect. In any case, it requires professional treatment since it can worsen over time.
How Is Peyronie’s Disease Treated?
Peyronie’s disease typically requires a multi-faceted therapy for best results. Here are some of the possible options for Peyronie’s disease.
Traction Therapy
Traction therapy is a treatment option performed regularly at home. It uses a specialized device to stretch the penis in the opposite direction of the curve, breaking down scar tissue over time. You’ll wear the device for a certain amount of time each day, eventually experiencing relief from severe curvature.
Platelet-Rich Plasma
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a therapy that utilizes your blood to improve tissue regeneration and healing. It requires a blood sample which is centrifuged into a concentrated serum of naturally occurring growth factors. This serum is then injected into specific areas of the penis. PRP typically requires a package of treatments for best results, especially in combination with other options.
Pulse Wave Therapy
Pulse Wave Therapy is a specialized device that uses low-intensity sound waves to break up tissue and improve blood flow. Typically used for erectile dysfunction, it has shown promise in treating Peyronie’s disease (especially in combination with PRP). It can gently break down scar tissue, allowing straighter and more comfortable erections.
Surgery
Surgical treatment of Peyronie’s disease is an option but is typically reserved for very rare cases – or for patients who don’t find results with other treatment options. Surgical techniques may involve a graft, implant, or excision of the scar tissue. It’s important that the curvature be stabilized before considering surgery as Peyronie’s disease can worsen over time.
What is the Outlook for Peyronie’s Disease?
Although there’s still much to be discovered about Peyronie’s disease, the outlook is generally good for treatment – especially when it comes to improving sexual enjoyment and functioning. It’s best to treat Peyronie’s disease as early as possible with the help of a knowledgeable intimate health provider. However, at any stage, our providers will help you explore all possible options within your comfort level.
