What is the best treatment for peyronie disease?

Did you know that an estimated 5%-15% of men suffer from Peyronie’s disease? Yes, it is a real condition and not just something crazy your friend made up in college.

But what exactly is Peyronie’s disease?

Peyronie’s disease is when fibrous plaques form under the skin of the penis. These plaques can cause a curvature or bending of the penis during an erection. Not only does this condition affect sexual function, but it can also lead to severe emotional distress for many sufferers.

So, what options are there for treating venturing down this curved road? Let’s dive in….

Lifestyle Changes

Before we start DIY-ing your manhood, let’s look at how lifestyle changes may help you maintain peak performance:

  1. Quit smoking: Smoking causes hardening and narrowing of blood vessels which restricts blood flow to various organs including fun old faithful. You’re killing two birds with one pebble by quitting smoking
  2. Weight loss: Obesity linked diseases like Type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular ailments often result have ED as a symptom.
  3. Maintaining healthy libido – Regular exercise helps keeps testosterone levels stable keeping our buddy rejuvenated

These three small steps could help improve your erections drastically over time without having to go through any invasive treatments.

Medications

Now if lifestyle changes didn’t do much good, medication intervention is next on the list:

1) Oral medications such as Sildenafil (Viagra), Tadalafil(Cialis) etc stimulate nitric oxide production causing increased blood flow towards reproductive system.

2) Injectable medication such PGE1 similar effect as previous point except its injected instead of orally administered( less side effects though)

While these medications improve erections but they don’t actually treat curve formation in caseof PD.

Listen To Your Doctor!

It’s important to note that before embarking on any of these treatments, speaking to your physician is strongly recommended. They will be able to guide you about the appropriate doses, drug interactions, etc…

Non-Invasive Procedures

If tablets aren’t treating your tilted tower, then more intensive treatments are available:

  1. Penile Traction Devices– These devices gently pull penis from base for a longer stretch helps slowly straighten out curves over time. And nothing says sexy like strap-on’ing an extender

  2. Radiation therapy- Involves sending multiple radiation beams towards calcified tissue under skin thereby decreasing size and also shape of plaque.

3) Collagenase injections – collagenase liquefies the fibrous tissue underneath the surface which can decrease curvature

Most non-invasive procedures require long term commitment so it’s always best take suggestions/feedback from medical practitioner.

Surgical Interventions

We’ve made it through two categories but where medicine fails surgery prevails:

Incision & Grafting

Surgeon makes incisions in problematic side when erection happens causing less blood flow this allows placement some type of graft – either synthetic or autologous (tissue taken from other body parts).

Penile Implants

When all else fails , a penile implant may be an option . There are three types: inflatable prostheses which completely replicate real erections; malleable prostheses ,where users must mold their penis to achieve erection; and semi-rigid implant- similar stretching outcome as with Traction device

Other points worth pondering

It’s important know that not every man suffering PD needs treatment since curve formation may worsen down time or sub-side spontaneously without intervention.

Also Peyronie’s tends become more difficult treat if left unchecked yet early interventions bear higher success rates.

Lastly screening one’s self routinely have healthy lifestyle free cigarette smoke reduce risk developing Peyronie formation.

In consideration of available options, it’s comforting to know that Peyronie’s isn’t always a life sentence .

It is important though to talk openly with loved ones and having the support system required for such emotionally straining conditions.

So let us embrace whatever method necessary help maintain erect role model we deserve!
