Peyronie’s Disease: Causes, Symptoms & Advanced Treatments in Hyderabad

Peyronie’s disease is a condition in which fibrous scar tissue (plaque) forms under the skin of the penis. This leads to an abnormal curvature of the penis during erections, which may result in pain, difficulty with sexual activity, and sometimes erectile dysfunction.

If you are experiencing a curved or painful erection, it’s important to seek medical evaluation. At Citivascular Hospital in Hyderabad, our expert team offers early diagnosis and effective treatment options for Peyronie’s disease.

Causes of Peyronie’s Disease

While the precise cause isn’t always known, several contributing factors have been identified:

• Repetitive penile trauma, often during intercourse
• Connective tissue disorders, such as Dupuytren’s contracture
• Autoimmune conditions, where the body attacks healthy tissues
• Genetic predisposition and family history
• Contributing lifestyle factors like diabetes, tobacco use, or prior prostate surgery

Symptoms of Peyronie’s Disease

Common symptoms include:

• Curved erections that bend upward, downward, or to the side

• Hard lumps under the skin of the penis
• Pain during erections or intercourse
• Shortening of the penis
• Difficulty maintaining an erection
• Indentations or narrowing of the penile shaft
• Erectile dysfunction in some cases

If any of these symptoms are present, schedule a consultation with Dr. Shailesh Kumar Garge at Citivascular Hospital.

Treatment Options Available at Citivascular Hospital

Our approach is to deliver personalized, evidence-based care for each patient.

Non-Surgical Treatments

1. Oral Medications
   Medications such as pentoxifylline and potassium para-aminobenzoate may help reduce plaque formation and improve symptoms in the early stages.

2. Xiaflex Injections
   Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum (Xiaflex) is an FDA-approved injection used to break down scar tissue. Administered by a specialist, this treatment is effective in select cases.

3. Penile Traction Devices
   These devices gently stretch the penis and can gradually reduce curvature when used consistently under medical supervision.
4. Vacuum Erection Devices (VEDs)
   VEDs improve blood flow and can help maintain penile length and shape over time.

Surgical Treatments

1. Penile Implant Surgery
   For men with both Peyronie’s disease and erectile dysfunction, penile implants provide a permanent solution. Both malleable and inflatable options are available.

2. Nesbit Procedure
   This surgery removes tissue on the opposite side of the curvature to straighten the penis. A minor reduction in length is a known outcome.
3. Plaque Incision and Grafting
   Ideal for men with severe curvature but good erectile function. The plaque is cut, and graft material is placed to restore shape.
