Peyronie's Disease

Peyronie’s disease is characterized by scarring (fibrosis) in the tunica albuginea, which makes it difficult for blood to enter the spongy erectile tissue, resulting in a bent or curved erection. It commonly happens as a result of trauma, although it can also be caused by age and diabetes.

Peyronie's Disease: Causes and Risk Factors

There are several treatment options available for Peyronie’s, including:

  • Surgery: If the curvature is severe and causing pain or difficulties with intercourse, this is typically only performed if necessary. The objective of surgery is to straighten the crooked.
  •  
  • Injections: Steroid injections are often used to reduce inflammation and help dissolve the scar tissue.
  •  
  • Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections: PRP is thought to stimulate new cell growth and help dissolve scar tissue.
  •  
  • Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT): This involves using sound waves to break up the scar tissue.


So far, the results from these treatment procedures have been extremely encouraging, with many men reporting significant improvements in their symptoms. If you are suffering from Peyronie’s disease, talk to your doctor about the best treatment option for you.

  • Ultrasound: This imaging test uses sound waves to create pictures of the inside of your crook.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): This imaging test uses magnetic waves to create pictures of the inside of the crook.
  • Biopsy: This is a procedure in which a small sample of tissue is taken from your bent and examined under a microscope.
