In very few cases, Peyronie’s disease goes away without being treated. However, in most cases, a doctor will recommend a course of treatment.
This usually varies according to the severity of the symptoms and the overall health of the patient. At Men’s Health Boston, our doctors offer patients a range of non-surgical treatments.
The most common approved treatment is Xiaflex. Xiaflex is a medication also used for people who have skin hardening of the hands.
For Peyronie’s disease, Xiaflex is injected into the penis to break down the plaque, causing the penis to harden or curve. Another option is Verapamil, a calcium channel blocker.
Ongoing treatment is injected into the scar tissue with a small needle. This is a non-surgical procedure, and your doctor at Men’s Health Boston can perform this at their office.
