Can Peyronie’s Disease Treatment Cure Erectile Dysfunction?

August 26, 2021

patient taking treatment for erectile dysfunction

Peyronie’s disease (PD) is a benign condition that occurs when scar tissue builds up within the shaft of the penis. Peyronie’s disease and erectile dysfunction (ED) are two closely related conditions, in that the former is essentially one of the most common underlying causes of the latter.

Aside from ED, Peyronie’s disease can also cause penile curvature, decreased penile length and girth, and pain during erection and/or intercourse. In some cases, the condition can bring on other types of penile deformity (e.g., indentations, hourglass-like appearance, and narrowing of the shaft).

If you have been diagnosed with Peyronie’s disease and are wondering if the treatment for it can also reverse erectile dysfunction, read on to get the answer you need.

Inflatable Penile Prosthesis

A surgical solution for both Peyronie’s and ED, this inflatable device corrects penile deviation and recreates normal penile function by providing the penis with the rigidity necessary for erection, orgasm, and ejaculation.

The apparatus is manually operated and completely hidden from view after it is implanted within the erection chambers of the penis.

Penile Injections

Xiaflex is used on men suffering from Peyronie’s disease who have a noticeable penile nodule. It is an injectable medication that eliminates the plaque formation in the passageway for urine through the penis (urethra), thereby effectively straightening the penis and consequently addressing ED and other symptoms.

Research has shown a 34-percent improvement in symptoms (penile curvature and ED) in men who received Xiaflex treatment.

Penile Traction Therapy

Penile traction therapy (PTT) is a promising treatment option for both types of PD: acute and chronic. Penile traction devices (penile extenders) work by gently stretching the penis, thereby increasing its length.

PTT is the only nondrug and nonsurgical treatment approach that has been reliably demonstrated to improve penile length and erectile function in many patients.

Medications

Viagra helps with the symptoms of Peyronie’s disease, among which apparently is erectile dysfunction. The FDA-approved ED pill has the added bonus of reducing curvature as it improves blood circulation in the penis.

Other medications that can help both conditions include Levitra and Cialis.
