Peyronie’s Disease Symptoms
Published on Mar 26 2010, in the categories: Peyronie's
Peyronie's disease is a progressive disease (fibromatosis) of the inner tunic of the penis. The therapeutic approach is the first doctor, then surgery. Goal of medical therapy is to stop the progression of the disease the surgery aims to improve the deformity of the penis induced fibromatosis and repair by grafting a prosthetic erectile dysfunction that may be surplus to medical therapy.
Peyronie's disease is a proliferative disease status (fibromatosis) of the inner tunic (albuginea) of the penis. The proliferative nature defines its evolution: in most cases (65% -87%) evolving nature, only a minority of cases tends to stabilize itself. The causes for these fibromatosis are unknown.
There are two stages of the disease: the first is acute, the second confirmed. Rarely, patients arrive in the acute phase; almost all arrive in chronic phase, not because of neglect of the first stage, but because the Peyronie’s disease symptoms are often scarce. The two phases are characterized by differences in the immune response ("rejection") organism against the plate.
Peyronie’s disease symptoms of the acute phase are: pain more or less pronounced and more or less localized, vague sensations to the penis, painful plaques.
The symptoms of chronic phase are apparently hard subcutaneous plaques, deformation of the penis, pain on erection, erectile dysfunction.
The diagnostic includes objective examination and Doppler Echo basal and dynamic of the penis. Contrary to popular belief, the echodoppler hand is less sensitive to determine the extent of surface plates, and used to identify possible infiltration of the corpora cavernosa and giving a clear picture of the vasculature, particularly important in case of presence of erectile dysfunction. In fact the symptom of erectile effect may be causes other than Peyronies, but be present in patients with Peyronie's, and this is particularly suspected.
First of all you need to go through treatment and then you might also need surgery. The goal of medical therapy is to stop the progression of the disease. If it improves to better, the improvement can not be included in the therapeutic contract, as the case of progressive disease, for which the stabilization is already a success. There are reports in the literature of healing, namely the total disappearance of the plate.
Residual deformity of the penis that affects the comfort of coitus indicates that surgery is needed. The surgery is chosen, between 100 and more interventions available, and if persistent erectile dysfunction resistant to medical therapy may be used to contextual insertion of implants.
Treatment includes substances for infiltration of the plaque (verapamil or interferon) and substances oral (tamoxifen, carnitine, potassium para-amino benzoate). In 10% of cases, there is a recurrence of Peyronie's disease, in any case despite many believed the disease impervious to medical therapy, since 1997 has brought the percentage of patients requiring surgery for deformity of the penis by about 45% to 10% or more.

Symptoms Of Peyronie’s Disease

Peyronie's disease is a disorder that is manifested by abnormal curvature of the penis during an erection due to scarring of erectile tissue. This scarring prevents straightening of the penis, and some people may have their penis curved so severe that penetration is almost impossible. Those suffering from this disease experience pain during intercourse.
The disease is most common among middle-aged men and elderly. Symptoms of Peyronie’s disease - Signs and symptoms of Peyronie's disease can occur instantly or may be developed in time. Some symptoms include: - Curved penis during erection; - A bulge along the penis on one part or both parts of the penis; - Painful erections, some men do not feel pain than swelling reached; - Inability to maintain an erection; - Inability to penetrate; - Shorten penis
In most cases the pain caused by Peyronie's disease may disappear, but a curved penis will persist even if no pain is felt. Causes leading to disease - Currently, doctors do not know with certainty the exact causes of the disease, but existing theories include cases such as:
- Injury to the penis: an accident in the penis area can cause blood vessels in the penis to break and cause internal bleeding, which in time lead to severe wounds that may develop fibrosis or calcium deposits that have resulted in a curved penis
- Autoimmune disorders: the scar might be a reaction of immune system factors
- Inheritance of an abnormalities
- Drugs: some drugs may cause Peyronie's disease because of side effects. Most drugs are responsible for the occurrence of disease like high blood pressure, heart disease, or glaucoma
Diagnosis and treatment - Through a physical exam, your doctor can tell if you have the Peyronie's disease. Because Peyronie's disease differs from person to person, treatment should be prescribed by the doctor. Some treatment methods include:
1) oral medication - If the disease does not show signs of improvement, the doctor may prescribe oral drugs, increasing treatment applies to the first 12-18 months when the wound is in training. Medicines recommended for this disease include:
- Colchicine, medicament increase may inhibit the growth of collagen and improve symptoms. Side effects of this medicine are digestive problems and diarrhea.
- Aminobenzoate Potassium: taken after medical advice, this medicine can cure you of disease. No studies have been conducted to determine the exact efficacy of this product.
- Vitamin E: Studies show that vitamin E can help alleviate disease, although in this case be conducted more thorough research
2) injections - Your doctor may encourage all treatment consisting of drugs such as Verapamil injected directly into the injured. Injections are meant to destroy the scar.
3) Surgery - If no drug treatment helped in the case of this disease and the penis still remains curved, you can opt for surgery. Doctors recommend this last method when the patient has painful sexual acts or of poor quality sexual acts. Surgery is necessary to restore the normal erection functions. Surgical options are: remove scars or cutting portion affected. In some cases, the use of prosthesis can help maintain the erection during the sexual act. And this method has side effects, because the penis might shorten n time.
