    The cause of Peyronie's disease is currently unknown, but it is more common in middle-aged and elderly people. Peyronie's disease generally has a 20% to 50% chance of being cured, but severe cases often cannot be cured, or if the condition worsens without treatment for a long time, it will also lead to loss of male sexual function. But many people still have doubts about whether Peyronie's disease can be cured?

    Generally speaking, it cannot be cured. Therefore, penile sclerosis should be taken according to the doctor's instructions. Do not take medicine randomly or choose a doctor at will. Generally, it can be cured. Once you are diagnosed with penile sclerosis, don't be afraid. You should go to a regular hospital for treatment immediately, control the condition immediately, and use appropriate treatment methods.

    1. Treatment measures for Peyronie’s disease

    Peyronie's disease is also known as corpus cavernosum fibrosis process, etc. The cause of the disease is unclear and it is common in middle-aged and elderly people. About 20% to 50% of these patients have a tendency to be cured, so treatment with minimal side effects should be chosen. However, delayed treatment can sometimes lead to male sexual dysfunction. Common ways are:

    1.1. Vitamin E, 100 mg, three times a day, the treatment process is about 3 to 6 months.

    1.2. For those with short history of current illness and young age, prednisone or cortisone can be used to dissolve procaine and introduced into the lump immediately, twice a week for a total of 12 times, to soften and reduce the size of the lump.

    1.3. Ultrasonic or infrared induction acupuncture physiotherapy.

    1.4. TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment, such as Purple Salvia and Xiaojie Decoction, etc. Medication treatment must be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor. After basic treatment, most symptoms can be relieved, but 10% of patients have poor results and require surgery to remove lumps and correct penile curvature. For patients with physiological impotence or failure of other surgical treatments, male genital prosthesis insertion can be used.

    2. What is Peyronie’s disease?

    Peyronie's disease (also called Peyronie's disease) was first reported in 1742 and often affects middle-aged and elderly men. When the patient becomes erect, his penis is bent and painful. The distal erection of the penile induration is not hard enough, and the serious deformity affects sexual life. When the penis is flaccid, there is no pain.

    During the examination, the genital body can touch fibrous lumps or cord-like lumps of different sizes limited to the tunica cavernosa, without tenderness. The lumps are often found on the far side of the genital body.

    Peyronie's disease injuries

    1. Affect urination

    The emergence of hard lumps may cause direct damage to the male genitals, which may cause the penis to bend or even twist. The most serious situation may cause the glans of the penis to deviate from the center line, which will cause the man to be unable to stand up to urinate normally.

    2. Unable to have sex

    Due to the presence of a hard lump, the patient's male genitalia usually bends to varying degrees when it becomes erect. However, no matter which degree or direction it is bent, it will directly cause the penis to be deformed and prevent normal sexual life. This will also seriously affect the relationship between the couple.

    3. Block growth and development

    If a child suffers from penile deformity symptoms, if not treated in time, it may affect the normal growth and development of his genitals and normal male sexual function in the future.

    4. Cause impotence

    Peyronie's disease in adults can easily develop into insidious soft spots of fibrous cavernositis on the male genitals. Once hardened, it will not only be painful but also bend and deform, which will not only affect male sexual life, but may also cause impotence.

    5. Inability to conceive

    At the end of sexual life, deformed male genitals are often unable to successfully absorb semen into the vagina of a woman, thus making it impossible for a woman to become pregnant.
