Peyronie

A small study suggests that Peyronie can be efficiently treated with a combination of oral medication and traction.

A taboo topic for men, when the penis does not have the optimal shape. With true penile curvature, medical help is possible.

QUEBEC. Induratio penis plastica or Peyronie can be treated surgically, medically or by mechanical means.

A research group from Canada has now published data showing that combination of the previously established therapeutic agents pentoxifylline and / or colchicine with andropenic penile traction therapy (PTT) may be a good treatment option for inoperable patients ( Sex Med 2019; online August 21 ).

Between 2015 and 2018, prospective data from 46 patients receiving oral therapy for Peyronie (pentoxifylline and / or colchicine) were compared at baseline and at six months. The degree of curvature, plaque size and various Doppler ultrasound parameters in the penis were recorded. PTT was used by the patients over the six months for a total of one hour a day.

At the end of the study, the researchers noted a significant decrease in the degree of penile curvature (55.8º ± 20º vs 41.4º ± 20.8º) and a significantly reduced plaque size (5.42 ± 2.7 to 2.42 ± 1.71 cm ² ). Also, the peak systolic velocity increased significantly from 29.8 ± 10.02 to 38.2 ± 11 cm / sec.

The study authors conclude that pentoxifylline and colchicine with concomitant PTT are a cost effective and effective therapy for Peyronie. However, further prospective randomized trials are needed to better assess disease progression in patients with conservative management. (Mg)

Peyronie: What is typical for it?

    

The Peyronie (Induratio penis plastica, IPP – derived from latin induratio = hardening) is a connective tissue disease of the penis, which causes it to form fibrinous plaques
        comes in the area of ​​the inner shell layer of the penis (tunica albuginea) at the penis shaft
        – mostly on the penis top
        The tissue thickening pulls the penis together at this point, causing it to
        a curvature of the erect penis comes. This can sometimes be very painful
        and make intercourse difficult or even impossible.
