Nonsurgical treatment options in Peyronie’s Disease: 2016 update

Abstract: Peyronie's disease (PD) is an inflammatory condition of penile tunica albuginea which commonly ends with penile curvature and difficulty in vaginal penetration. Unfortunately, the pathophysiology of PD has not been completely understood. In this paper, we will review what is known about the pathophysiology of PD and the nonsurgical medical treatment options that have been trialed as a result. In the last 5 years, commonly used oral medications left their places to intralesional therapies. Clostridium collagena… Show more

“…[1] While emerging intralesional treatments such as Clostridium Collagenase are under investigation, surgery still remains as the definitive treatment of stable PD. [2,3] Although the disease was defined three centuries ago, understanding of its aspects like the etiology, pathological mechanisms, its natural course and treatment algorithms are still underdevelopment. The surgery is offered to patients who cannot enter sexual intercourse due to penile deformity, instability or ED with PD onset duration longer than 12 months and , Bahadır Ermeç stable/painless episode longer than 6 months.…”

“…However, none of these agents' effectiveness has been fully proven. 6 Molecules such as corticosteroids, verapamil, interferon, and collagenase clostridium histolyticum are commonly used in intralesional therapy. 5 Amongst these, collagenase clostridium histolyticum stands out as the most effective agent, and many studies have proven its effectiveness.…”
