Peyronie's Disease
YouTube VIDEO ABOUT PENILE CURVATURE

Peyronie's disease is an acquired curvature of the penis, which occurs due to the growth of fibrous plaques in one of the deep membranes of this organ.

The disease is associated with a genetic predisposition and increases the risk of erectile dysfunction by 3 times.

Peyronie's disease has acute and chronic stages. The curvature of the penis occurs in 90% of cases in the chronic phase and it is ascertained according to the photographs of the erect organ taken by the patient. When palpating, deep tissue seals (plaques) are revealed. In the acute stage, there is pain in the penis during erection.

Treatment of the acute phase of Peyronie's disease is carried out with the help of drugs, which accelerate its transition to the chronic stage.

Curvature of the penis is corrected in case if it has a pronounced character (> 15 °) and only in the chronic stage of the disease.

With normal erection and acceptable size of the penis, its straightening is achieved by applying non-absorbable sutures that shorten the organ along the convex side.

In the case of a preserved erection and small size of the penis, in order to avoid its shortening, the plaque is replaced along the concave side with normal tissues of the patient himself or with those of the donor.

In case of impaired erection, combined with a pronounced curvature of the penis, a penile prosthetic surgery is performed, which resolves both problems.
