In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee talk about the causes of and treatments for Peyronie's disease. If you have developed a bend in your penis or if, when erect, it stands at an unnatural angle, you may have Peyronie's disease. While the exact cause is unknown, Peyronie's disease may be caused by the slowly accumulating effects of microtrauma to the penis sustained during intercourse with a less-than-fully-erect penis. Scar tissue can develop along the penis shaft, causing the often painful and distressing changes associated with this incredibly common condition. More severe, acute trauma to the penis can also cause Peyronie's to develop practically overnight, so please be careful when having vigorous intercourse--the most common cause of serious penile trauma. Fortunately, there are many treatments for Peyronie's disease that address it's various causes and effects. There are different interventions depending on the degree of penile curvature and the severity of symptoms. While people with a lower degree of curvature might benefit from Xiaflex injections, those with more severe curves should consider one of the surgical options offered by NAU Urology Specialists. No matter your disease progression, getting an evaluation and proper measurement of your curvature by a urologist is essential in identifying the right treatment.
