No Surgery Needed! Innovative Peyronie’s Treatment Unveiled

Men with Peyronie’s disease have historically faced tough choices between surgery with potential length loss or less invasive methods with uncertain outcomes. A new study in The Journal of Urology presents a promising non-surgical approach combining injections, penile traction therapy, and sildenafil.

The non-surgical method showed higher satisfaction rates, fewer side effects, and even an increase in penile length, contrasting with the usual shortening post-surgery. While surgery excels at straightening, this combination focuses on enhancing quality of life.

Key Findings of the Study

Research led by Benjamin Green and Dr. Landon Trost revealed that although surgery achieved better straightening, the non-surgical approach surpassed it in patient satisfaction, erectile function improvement, and penile length gains.

Comparing Non-Surgical and Surgical Groups

• Non-Surgical Group: 50% very satisfied vs. Surgical Group: 21%
• Non-Surgical Length Increase: 1.0 cm vs. Surgical Length Decrease: 0.5 cm
• Curvature Improvement: Surgery 84%, Non-surgical 54%
• Adverse Events: Surgical 50, Non-surgical 13

Both groups saw modest improvements in erectile function, but the non-surgical group showed higher subjective satisfaction. Choosing between the paths should consider factors like length, sensation, risk, and desired correction level.

Seek medical help if you notice symptoms like penile curvature, painful erections, erectile dysfunction, penile lumps, or shortening. A doctor can guide you on the most suitable treatment plan for Peyronie’s disease.
