Peyronies Disease Treatment

How or what to do about peyronies disease


Peyronie’s disease is a ondition that causes a curvature of the penis cand although there are some medicinal procedures and surgery available, it is by and large incurable. This is a wound healing disorder that involves the formation of plaque that is fibrotic in nature. It can cause pain in the penis and surrounding area, angulation and sometimes even impotence. The condition begins as a severe inflammation after which the scarring takes place. The plaque formed is composed of several thick layers of erectile tissue and although non-cancerous in nature, it pulls the affected region at an angle when erect causing the penis to bend. If the plaque has accumulated on the top part of the penis, it is likely to curve upwards when erect. On the other hand, if the plaque has accumulated on the underside, the shaft will curve downwards. However, the former curvature upwards is more common.

Some vitamins such as Vitamin E and C are known to help because of their anti-inflammatory, anti-mitotic and anti-scar properties. Exercises involving massaging, tensing and releasing the penis to improve both blood flow and the flow of lymphatic fluid is likely to help with the disease and it would be advisable to consult your physician on possible exercises. A common stretching exercise involves gripping the penis at its head and stretching it to its maximum limit till you feel the pull at the base of the shaft and in the ligament that is suspended. This is done when the penis is still limp and no research has so far proven that this method is effective. However, it may help and can be done in consultation with an instructor. In case blood clots have accumulated in the region, the enzymes extracted from soya beans are known to help them dissolve. Castor oil can be applied topically to the penis and massaged. This may provide some help in softening the hardened tissues. An artificial penile prosthesis is being used these days to maintain an erection. Peyronie’s disease can be emotionally upsetting and it is best to seek treatment as early as possible and it will help to not only avoid stress and anxiety but also talk to instructors about it. Surgery will have to be undertaken after a serious discussion with the physician as there is no guarantee that scarring will not occur, and the penis is likely to shorten by an inch or two. Take care to avoid food products that can trigger allergic reactions and it would be best to conduct a food antigen test to identify them.
