Peyronie’s Disease Treatment
Peyronie’s Disease (PD) is an uncomfortable condition that affects approximately 5% of men. Historically, finding effective treatment options for PD has been challenging. However, in recent years, advancements in medical technology have provided new hope for men suffering from this condition.
One such promising treatment option is Shockwave Therapy, which offers a non-invasive approach to breaking up the plaque that causes Peyronie’s Disease. Unlike invasive surgical procedures, Shockwave Therapy utilizes advanced technology to deliver high-energy acoustic waves to the affected area, promoting the breakdown of scar tissue and improving penile curvature.
In addition to Shockwave Therapy, other treatment alternatives have also emerged, offering men a variety of options for managing Peyronie’s Disease. These innovative approaches aim to address the underlying causes of PD without the need for surgery, providing a less invasive and potentially more accessible path to recovery.
With these modern advancements, men dealing with Peyronie’s Disease can now explore a range of non-surgical treatment options that offer hope for alleviating symptoms, improving sexual function, and enhancing their overall quality of life.
Causes and Symptoms of Peyronie’s Disease
Peyronie’s disease is a condition that affects the penis, causing the development of fibrous scar tissue within the erectile tissue. This can result in the formation of a curved or bent penis during erections, which can be accompanied by pain and other discomfort. Understanding the causes and symptoms of Peyronie’s disease is crucial for early detection and appropriate management.
Causes of Peyronie’s Disease:
- Trauma or injury: Previous injury or trauma to the penis, such as during sexual activity or accidents, can trigger the development of Peyronie’s disease. The scar tissue forms as a response to the injury, leading to penile curvature.
- Genetics: Some research suggests a genetic predisposition to Peyronie’s disease. If a family member has experienced the condition, there may be an increased risk of developing it as well.
- Connective tissue disorders: Certain connective tissue disorders, such as Dupuytren’s contracture, which causes thickening and tightening of the tissues in the hands, have been linked to an increased likelihood of Peyronie’s disease.
The most frequently reported symptoms of the condition include:
- Curvature of the penis: The penis becomes curved or bent during erections, which can cause discomfort and difficulty during sexual activity.
- Penile pain: Pain or discomfort is experienced during an erection, ranging from mild discomfort to more severe pain.
- Erectile dysfunction: Difficulties in achieving or maintaining an erection may occur due to the curvature and scar tissue.
- Presence of lumps or plaques: Firm lumps or plaques may be felt beneath the skin of the penis, contributing to the curvature and other symptoms.
- Psychological impact: The physical symptoms of Peyronie’s disease can lead to stress, anxiety, or relationship difficulties due to changes in sexual function and appearance.
Peyronie’s Disease Treatment
Research shows that current oral medications available for Peyronie’s Disease treatment are not sufficient, nor are they backed by successful research. Treatment options for Peyronie’s have been limited thus far to oral medications and potentially painful surgery to correct the disformity.
To reverse this condition, the plaque needs to be dissolved to allow for normal shape and function to return to the penis.
ShockWave Therapy
ShockWave therapy utilizes pulsed acoustic waves to break up tough plaque scar tissue that has built up under the skin.
This type of acoustic wave therapy was initially used for patients that suffered from hardened arteries due to the plaque formed as a result of heart disease and high cholesterol.
ShockWave therapy is one of the most direct, comfortable, and effective ways to treat Peyronie’s disease.
With these new, non-invasive treatment options, there is no need to live with Peyronie’s Disease anymore. We recommend speaking with one of our men’s health specialists today and take the first step to beat Peyronie’s disease!
*Results will vary by each patient and their severity of Peyronie’s disease.
