Peyronie’s disease (Induratio penis plastica)
Peyronie’s disease (Induratio penis plastica) symptoms
Problem description
PEYRONI’S DISEASE or IPP (Induratio penis plastica) is a localized disease of the penis, in which an inflammatory focus develops in the coverings of the penile corpora cavernosa. In the early stages of the disease, it is accompanied by pain in the penis at the site of the plaque. The plaque (localized inflammation focus) gradually hardens and calcifications are deposited in it. If left untreated, this disease can lead to curvature of the penis or other deformations, erectile dysfunction and often the inability to have sex.
It is important to know that the sooner treatment begins, the more successful it is, because the disease can usually be stopped and thus prevent penile deformation and pain. In case of penile pain or palpable hardness, do not hesitate to make an appointment for an examination as soon as possible, this will prevent penile deformation, pain and impotence. Advanced forms with significant penile deformities must be treated surgically.
Our office uses a combination of methods in the treatment of incipient and milder forms – ultrasound shock wave ESWT and injection treatment with substances affecting inflammation or enzymes. In the case of severe forms with significant penile deformities, surgical treatment is usually necessary.
