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 Citi Vascular Hospital in Hyderabad, patients can enquire about assessment and appropriate management options for Peyronie’s disease. Treatment suitability depends on the symptoms, severity of curvature, erectile function, and clinical evaluation.

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
• actors associated with Peyronie’s disease may include penile injury and certain connective tissue conditions. Diabetes and smoking may be relevant to overall vascular or erectile health, but their relationship with Peyronie’s disease should not be presented as a direct cause without appropriate evidence. Previous pelvic or prostate procedures should be discussed with a clinician when relevant to the patient’s history.

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
   Oral medicines have limitations in treating Peyronie’s disease, and evidence for their ability to reduce plaque or correct penile curvature varies. Treatment should be individualised after clinical assessment. Patients should not start these medicines without medical advice.

2. Xiaflex Injections
   Collagenase clostridium histolyticum has been used for selected patients with Peyronie’s disease in jurisdictions where it is approved and available. Eligibility depends on plaque characteristics, curvature, and clinical assessment. Availability and regulatory approval in India should be verified before this treatment is advertised. Potential risks and limitations should be discussed with the treating specialist.

3. Penile Traction Devices
   Penile traction devices may help improve penile length or curvature in some patients, depending on the device, treatment duration, and clinical circumstances. Outcomes vary, and use should be discussed with a clinician familiar with Peyronie’s disease.
4. Vacuum Erection Devices (VEDs)
   Vacuum erection devices are primarily used to assist erections in selected patients. Their role in managing Peyronie’s disease and preserving penile length or shape is not established equally for every patient. Discuss the potential benefits, limitations, and appropriate use with a clinician.

Surgical Treatments

1. Penile Implant Surgery
   Penile prosthesis surgery may be considered for selected men with Peyronie’s disease and erectile dysfunction that does not respond adequately to other treatments. The procedure can help address erectile dysfunction and may also assist with penile straightening, depending on the surgical approach. It involves risks and is not guaranteed to resolve every symptom. Implant type and suitability require specialist assessment.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Peyronie’s disease curable?
While it may not be fully curable, most men can manage symptoms effectively through medication, therapy, or surgery.

How long does treatment take?
The time needed to assess treatment response varies by treatment type and individual circumstances. Recovery after surgery depends on the procedure and the patient’s healing. Your treating clinician can provide procedure-specific guidance about recovery and when sexual activity can safely resume.

Peyronie’s disease does not usually directly affect sperm production. However, significant curvature, pain, or erectile difficulties may make sexual intercourse and conception more difficult for some couples. Individual fertility concerns should be assessed separately when indicated.
