Peyronie’s Disease – Expert Diagnosis & Corrective Treatment by Dr. Premkumar

Peyronie’s Disease is a condition where hard scar tissue (plaques) develops inside the penis, leading to curvature, pain, and difficulty during erection. It can affect sexual performance, confidence, and overall quality of life. Dr. Premkumar K, an experienced Andrologist & Reconstructive Urologist, provides advanced evaluation and personalized treatment options to correct penile curvature and restore sexual function.

• Causes – Micro-trauma during intercourse, injury, genetic factors, aging, connective tissue disorders, and chronic inflammation leading to plaque formation.

• Common Symptoms – Penile curvature, painful erections, hard lumps under the skin, shortening of the penis, weak erections, and difficulty during sexual intercourse.

• Diagnosis – Penile Doppler ultrasound, physical examination, curvature assessment, and evaluation of plaque size, location, and erectile function to plan the best treatment.

• Medical Therapy – Oral medications, supplements, and anti-inflammatory therapy to reduce pain and prevent plaque progression during the early (acute) phase.

• Intralesional Injections – Collagenase (Xiaflex) or verapamil injections soften the plaque and reduce curvature, especially in moderate cases.

• Shockwave Therapy – Non-invasive treatment used to reduce pain, break down scar tissue, and improve blood flow for better erections.

• Penile Traction Device – Devices prescribed to gently stretch the penis and reduce curvature over time for selected patients.

• Corrective Surgery – For severe curvature or long-standing Peyronie’s disease:
  • Plication surgery – Straightening for mild/moderate curvature.
  • Grafting surgery – Used for large plaques and complex curvature.
  • Penile prosthesis – For patients with ED and curvature.

Dr. Premkumar K offers a comprehensive, stage-based approach that combines advanced diagnostics, modern therapies, and minimally invasive surgical options to restore both penile shape and sexual function.
