Treatment Options for Peyronie’s Disease
Dr. Castiglione offers a range of cutting-edge treatments tailored to the individual needs of his patients. These include non-invasive therapies, pharmacological solutions, and surgical interventions.
1. Regenerative PRP Therapy
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy harnesses the body’s natural healing properties by using growth factors extracted from the patient’s blood. PRP injections can:
Stimulate tissue regeneration.
Reduce plaque size and soften fibrous areas.
Restore penile symmetry and improve overall function.
2. Pharmacological Treatments
For patients with moderate symptoms, medication-based therapies can be highly effective:
Collagenase Injections: These are directly administered into the fibrous plaques to break them down and reduce curvature over time.
Pain Management: Anti-inflammatory drugs may be prescribed to relieve pain and inflammation.
3. Shockwave Therapy
Low-intensity shockwave therapy is a non-invasive option that promotes blood flow and tissue remodeling. This therapy can improve the elasticity of the penile tissue and reduce plaque-related stiffness.
4. Surgical Solutions
When Peyronie’s disease is severe or unresponsive to non-surgical treatments, surgery may be required. Surgical options include:
Plication Surgery: Straightens the penis by shortening the unaffected side.
Incision and Grafting: Removes the plaque and replaces it with a graft to restore length and functionality.
Penile Prosthesis Implantation: For cases involving erectile dysfunction, this can offer a permanent solution to both curvature and functional issues.
