Peyronie's Disease: Injection Therapy Becoming More Common
Treating Peyronie's disease with injection therapy is more frequent nowadays, new research indicates.
Men with Peyronie's disease develop penile deformities caused by plaques - areas of hardened scar tissue that form just below the surface of the skin. Often, the penis bends, making intercourse difficult.
The study, which was presented at the October 2019 meeting of the Sexual Medicine Society of North America (SMSNA), compared the use of collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) injections and surgical approaches.
CCH injections were first approved in 2014. Since then, their use has risen steadily.
