Treatments Available for Peyronie’s Disease

Thursday, July 10, 2008

There are several treatment available to cure peyronie’s disease. Some treatment are done by injecting medicine to the site of scars, while some men choose to receive an implanted device that increases rigidity of the penis. Several popular medicine that is used to inject on scars :

  • VITAMIN E: this anti-oxidant has other uses in the treatment of scars, and has been employed in the treatment of Peyronie’s disease since 1945.
  • POTABA or potassium para amino benzoate is designated by the FDA as “possibly effective”. Large doses are required, which may cause intestinal upset.
  • COLCHICINE is a medication used for many years in the treatment of gout. It acts against inflammation, and interferes with the manufacture of scar tissue.
  • VERAPAMIL is usually given by direct injection into the plaque. It also interferes with the synthesis of scar tissue precursors.
  • COLLAGENASE is an investigational drug that enzymatically digests scar.

Radiation therapy is also an alternative in treating peyronie’s disease. Radiation appears to reduce pain, but it has no effect at all on the plaque itself and can cause unwelcome side effects.

If medical agents fail, or a quick resolution is desired, surgery approach is also available in treating peyronie’s disease.
