Improving Men's Health: Understanding and Treating Peyronie's Disease

Introduction Peyronie's Disease is a condition that affects many men, causing discomfort and impacting their sexual health and self-esteem. At Manova, we are dedicated to providing effective treatments and comprehensive support for men dealing with this challenging condition. In this blog post, we’ll explore what Peyronie's Disease is, its symptoms, treatment options, and how Manova can help.

What is Peyronie's Disease? Peyronie's Disease is characterized by the development of fibrous scar tissue inside the penis, causing curved, painful erections. The exact cause of this condition is not entirely understood, but it is believed to result from trauma or injury to the penis, leading to abnormal healing responses. This condition can make sexual intercourse difficult or painful and can significantly affect a man’s mental health and relationships.

Recognizing the Symptoms Common symptoms of Peyronie's Disease include:

• A significant bend or curve in the penis.

• Pain during erections or intercourse.

• Lumps or hard areas under the skin of the penis.

• Erectile dysfunction.

• Shortening of the penis.

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek medical advice. Early intervention can improve treatment outcomes and help manage the condition effectively.

Treatment Options at Manova Manova offers a variety of advanced treatments for Peyronie's Disease, tailored to meet the needs of each patient. Our treatment options include:

1. Non-Surgical Treatments:

   • Medication: Oral or injectable medications can help reduce pain and curvature.

   • Shockwave Therapy: This non-invasive treatment uses sound waves to break down scar tissue and promote healing.

   • Traction Devices: These devices can help stretch the penis and reduce curvature over time.

2. Surgical Treatments:

   • Plication Surgery: This procedure involves stitching the longer side of the penis to straighten it.

   • Grafting: Scar tissue is removed and replaced with grafts to correct the curvature.

   • Penile Implants: For men with severe curvature and erectile dysfunction, penile implants can provide a permanent solution.
