Best Peyronie's Treatments
September 25, 2020
Peyronie's disease is a condition caused by scar tissue that forms along the corpus cavernosum of the penis and can result in an unnatural bend or curve and penis shortening. Oftentimes men also experience an acute stage where there is severe pain. Peyronie’s disease is often caused by calcification (plaques) that form under the skin of the penis and irritate tissue. This irritation eventually leads to scarring, which constricts the tissue and creates the curve. Peronie’s is a very upsetting condition for men and can cause them to have difficulty having intercourse and can be painful for their partner, when the curvature is severe enough. Peyronie’s rarely goes away on its own.
Sadly, many men are unaware that Peyronie’s disease is common and are ashamed to discuss their concerns with their physicians, suffering in silence. Fortunately, there is a new Peyronie’s treatment now available, called GAINSWave, which can halt the disease progression, break down the scarring and repair the tissue. Dr. Earl Eye, a Peyronie's disease specialist here in Jacksonville Florida, explains, “up until recently there were no effective solutions for Peyronie’s on the market, aside from an injectable medication which attempts to dissolve the plaques that causes Peyronie’s. While the medication does stop further progression of the disease, it can’t do anything to reverse the damage and the curvature. And, it only works about half of the time.
There are of course, other treatments with even less success rates. Many men get discouraged as they go through the gambit of conventional, antiquated treatments offered by their doctors. Peyronie's disease, just like erectile dysfunction, can be beaten.
What causes Peyronie’s disease?
There are numerous possible causes for why men have Peyronie's, One cause of damage is injury during vigorous sex or a sport accident. Peyronies is also caused by calcification that develops under the skin of the penis. Lifestyle factors or heredity play a part here. PD is commonly classified as acute or chronic. Chronic Peyronie's disease can be very concerning and regularly occurs when it has been left untreated for a long period of time. Peyronie's disease can make it hard for an otherwise healthy man to have a typical erection (erectile dysfunction), resulting in an agonizing curvature of the penis that can make sex troublesome or impossible.
What's more, men with Peyronie's disease, who also suffer from erectile dysfunction, may encounter a loss of elasticity all through the penis. On the off chance that a man has a bent erection and thinks he may have Peyronie's, it is essential that he doesn't hesitate to seek medical attention and have a doctor take a look. This is because Peyronie’s normally worsens after some time if not treated.
Below are the common causes of Peyronie’s disease in men.
- Injury-This can be caused by sex, accidents, sports injuries, and so on. Oftentimes patients don't remember the cause of the injury.
- Health Disorders-Unhealthier men have a higher probability of creating PD.
- Genetics- a man has a substantially higher chance of acquiring Peyronie's disease is he has a relative with the disease.
- Connective tissue disorder-connective tissue disorder such as Dupuytren's contracture has an increased probability of getting Peyronie's disease.
- Age-more seasoned men in their 50's and 60's have a greater susceptibility to the disorder.
What are the Best Peyronie’s treatments?
Observe- monitor and let it run its course. (typically mild cases of Peyronie’s)
Medications-prescription medication such as verapamil, a calcium channel blocker, customarily used to treat cardiovascular disease, can forestall the arrangement of plaque and improve collagen. Medications can rarely reverse any damage that has already occurred.
Collagenase-This FDA approved treatment can, over time, breakdown the development of collagen, and take out the Peyronie's curve.
Interferon-This is a sort of protein that interferes with the creation of scar tissue in the corpus cavernosum. It can also help with the penile pain associated with Peyronie's disease.
Traction devices for penis-men can wear a gadget that attaches to the penis compelling it to straighten after some time. This gadget is just for the most devoted of men because of the reality it needs to be worn consistently for extensive stretches of time.
Surgery-This is ordinarily just suggested for the most severe cases of Peyronie's disease when all different treatments have been exhausted.
PRP-Platelet-rich plasma can be infused into the area to support new cell development.
ESWT-extracorporeal shock wave treatment uses specialized focused sound waves to separate the Peyronie's plaque. In layman's terms, ECSWT is regularly known as "shock wave treatment". This is a proven and non-invasive treatment.
