Understanding Peyronie’s Disease: Causes and Symptoms

Peyronie’s disease is a condition that affects men. It causes scar tissue, or fibrous plaque, in the penis. This leads to symptoms like penile curvature, erectile dysfunction, and pain. Healthcare providers focus on understanding causes and symptoms to offer the right care.

The Formation of Fibrous Plaque

The exact cause of Peyronie’s disease is not known. But, it’s thought to start from penis trauma or injury. This trauma leads to fibrous plaque, causing the penis to curve or bend. This plaque is a key factor in Peyronie’s disease and is vital for finding effective treatments.

Common Symptoms and Their Impact

Symptoms of Peyronie’s disease vary but often include penile curvature, erectile dysfunction, and pain during erection. The curvature can make sexual intercourse difficult or impossible. Some men also experience a shortening or narrowing of the penis. These symptoms can affect a man’s self-esteem and relationships.

• Penile curvature or bending
• Erectile dysfunction
• Pain during erection
• Shortening or narrowing of the penis

When to Seek Medical Treatment

Men with Peyronie’s disease symptoms should seek medical help. Early treatment can help manage symptoms and improve outcomes. We advise men to see a healthcare provider if symptoms persist or worsen. Advanced treatments like Xiaflex injections can help improve curvature and symptoms.

Understanding Peyronie’s disease causes and symptoms is the first step towards effective treatment. This can greatly improve a man’s quality of life.

Men with Peyronie’s disease symptoms should seek medical help. Early treatment can help manage symptoms and improve outcomes. The disease progresses through two distinct phases: an acute phase lasting 5 to 18 months with worsening curvature and pain, followed by a chronic phase where scar tissue stabilizes. We advise men to see a healthcare provider if symptoms persist or worsen. Today, a wide range of effective treatments from shockwave therapy and traction to injections and surgery can help improve curvature and symptoms.

Non-Surgical Treatment Options Available at Liv Hospital

At Liv Hospital, we offer a comprehensive range of non-surgical treatments for Peyronie’s disease. Our approach combines multiple evidence-based modalities for optimal results.

Low-Intensity Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (Li-ESWT)

Shockwave therapy is one of the most effective non-invasive treatments we offer for Peyronie’s disease. Li-ESWT uses focused acoustic waves delivered to the penile tissue to promote healing, reduce pain, and improve curvature.

How It Works: Li-ESWT works through multiple mechanisms — it stimulates new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis), promotes tissue remodeling, and reduces inflammation. The focused acoustic energy targets the fibrous plaque while preserving surrounding structures.

The current European Association of Urology guidelines acknowledge Li-ESWT as a safe and efficient minimally invasive option for Peyronie’s disease, particularly during the active inflammatory phase.

Penile Traction Therapy (PTT)

Penile traction therapy is a cornerstone of our non-surgical approach. It is the only treatment shown to improve penile length and works exceptionally well when combined with other modalities.

How It Works: Traction devices apply a steady, gentle longitudinal pulling force to the penile shaft over extended periods. This triggers cellular responses that promote tissue remodeling, growth, and straightening.

At Liv Hospital, we provide modern traction devices such as RestoreX and Penimaster PRO systems and teach patients proper usage techniques for optimal results.

Verapamil Intralesional Injections

Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker that acts as an antifibrogenic agent. It is one of the most widely used injectable treatments for Peyronie’s disease and is readily available in Turkey.

How It Works: Verapamil inhibits calcium channels in fibroblasts — the cells responsible for excessive collagen production in Peyronie’s plaques. By disrupting these pathways, it reduces new collagen synthesis and simultaneously increases collagenase activity, helping break down existing fibrotic tissue.

Interferon Injections

Interferon therapy is another injectable option available at Liv Hospital for patients seeking non-surgical correction of penile curvature.

How It Works: Interferon demonstrates antifibrotic properties through complex immunomodulatory mechanisms. It disrupts fibrous tissue formation, breaks down existing fibrous tissue, and provides pain relief benefits.

While interferon requires multiple treatment sessions and may result in more variable outcomes, it operates through fundamentally different biological pathways compared to other treatments, potentially benefiting patients who have not responded to other therapies.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy

PRP therapy is a regenerative approach that harnesses the body’s own healing capacity.

How It Works: PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood through centrifugation. It concentrates growth factors, cytokines, and bioactive molecules that promote tissue healing and regeneration. Key growth factors include TGF-β, VEGF, and bFGF, which collectively promote new blood vessel formation, tissue repair, and collagen reorganization.

Conclusion: Advancing Care for Peyronie’s Disease Patients

We are committed to improving care for Peyronie’s disease patients. At Liv Hospital, we offer a comprehensive, multimodal approach — combining the latest non-surgical therapies available in Turkey with advanced surgical expertise.

Our treatment philosophy recognizes that no single therapy works best for every patient. We develop personalized treatment plans that may combine shockwave therapy, traction, injectable treatments like verapamil, regenerative approaches such as PRP and stem cell therapy, and when needed, surgical solutions including plication, grafting, or penile prosthesis placement.

For patients interested in Xiaflex treatment, we provide guidance on a case-by-case basis regarding the possibility of administering this therapy when patients arrange their own supply through proper regulatory channels. However, our core strength lies in the wide range of effective, readily available treatments we offer right here in Turkey.

We focus on the latest treatments and patient-centered care. Our goal is to enhance the lives of those with Peyronie’s disease. We want to give our patients the knowledge and support they need, ensuring they get the best care possible.
